August Family holiday
Overall the property was at a great location. The lake was great and the lake toys were as described. We had a lot of fun using the kayaks and the lilly-pad.
We were disappointed with the property compared to other cabins we have stayed in at Innsbrook. The facility did not appear to be well-cleaned or cared for. The upstairs toilet did not fill, there was trash and food from previous renters under the sofas and on the deck, one of the sliding doors to the wonderful deck did not work, there were not enough utensils for our group, there were holes in several of the doors, the rooms smelled of smoke, the kids’ toys were broken, and the fold-out sofa was broken and sagged when you sat on it and was unusable as a bed (we took the mattress off of the sofa sleeper and used it on the floor).
The furnishings were as described (except for the sofa) and the rooms were well-lit and cheery. The space was large and was as described and we enjoyed visiting on the deck and playing in the lake.

House was very nice but had some big issues
We had a great time! However at that price these things should be addressed
Sliding door was off track and didn’t work
Patio furniture was very very dirty so much so I had to clean everything before our family arrived. , as was everything down by the lake.
There are four water crafts and only one life vest.. had to go buy some. Wish I would have known that before hand, could have brought ours from home. I’ve already made our reservations for June 2025, just not at this property. Sorry

Great family gathering spot
We had a wonderful time with our family at the vacation rental and would recommend it in the future. Great boat and campfire access, along with an easy to play stereo setup. Thanks!

Great potential needs improvement
The kitchen was wanting. Dirty dishes/pots and pans.
Trash was laying around by dock.
Found old food and trash under the bed.
Loved playing in the lake with the kayaks and body board but we only had one working ore. Love all the adirondak chairs. Loved going to the beach and pool. Just needed better kitchen supplies and cleanliness.
