UNSAFE AND HOME IS NOT UP TO CODE!
I rented this home for a week to host a family Christmas. Unfortunately, this property is not up to building code. I have rented through VRBO numerous times and had no issues, however this home is not safe as there were no banisters on the stairs which are 2 flights down and the top guardrail has ‘horizontal’ ladder type rail that a child would think is a ladder. I am DONE will report start.

Great vacation property. Access to lake was fun. Secluded and peaceful. Watch out for summer heatwaves— the mini split in the living room will not reach to cool the bedrooms and sleeping may be uncomfortable for some.

Great 4 bedroom bi-level house on secluded property
The 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house is very roomy and comfortable. The large yard also gives you privacy and there are lots of trees surrouding it.

Comfortable and cozy in the woods
Nice option for a family vacation base. Check-in was easy and the kitchen is up to date with all the usual pot/pans, plates, etc.
Master bedroom bed was less comfortable than we hoped - every shift during the night caused the bed to shake.
If we return to the area, we would consider staying here again.
Average rating on communication with property manager as we did not need assistance during our stay.

Nice home, spacious areas
Overall a nice home, upstairs bedrooms and bath very spacious and clean. Downstairs bedrooms are smaller but adequate. Just a note- the bed frames do have head and foot boards, so the twins can be a bit tight if you are sleeping adults. Pillows are tired and some stained. and Could use an update- id suggest bringing your own.
Kitchen is well stocked, some dishes needed a scrub, but easily taken care of.
The stairwell is NOT conducive to children. The top won’t support a baby gate. We had to block off with a folding table, and the stairs themselves only have a handrail- there is a lot of space for a child to tumble through the space between railing and stairs.
Nice big play/tv room in the basement- only room in the house with a TV.
Just a note- it rained the whole time we were there, the basement was very damp- to the point the carpet felt wet in areas. This was reported- not addressed at the time of stay.
Lastly- there is water access, it’s not directly attached to the house, and you’ll have to text vacasa contact for directions. Also, kayaks were supposed to be available- 2 adult/2 kid- these were locked in the garage and not available - vacasa text contact said local staff would address it wasn’t addressed by the time we left the following day.
We got the feeling there wasn’t a local owner- so while the text response time was fast- it wasn’t overly helpful - even a book with basic tips and a map of water access would be very helpful.

Diamond in the rough!
This is beautiful home in secluded area. The house is recently renovated, fully equipped in the kitchen, linens, towels, laundry etc. It is roomy and lovely and comfortable, with a wonderful set up for a family - main space and two "adult" rooms upstairs and den/TV room and two kids bedrooms downstairs. very quiet, nice firepit outside. The house is a five minute walk down a steep hill to the lake, but if needed you can drive, as there is parking at the water. Four kayaks provided (by the lake, so nothing to schlep) and they were great. This was a truly lovely stay and we would be happy to come back.
