Little get away

Needed a home for about 10 days it surved the purpose. Do bring your own bedding. I’m sure the place for the summer is amazing needs a bit more cleaning but overall a nice little getaway . If pricing is in order will look at coming back in the summer.

This property is not maintained! The home is only moderately clean

The beds are horrible. The couches broken appliances on their last leg no sheets towels. Ridiculous for travelers. The owners need to take care of the property or correctly advertise and price it.

It was very spacious which worked well for extended family . Nice beach front & lawn for activities

Nice location and good beach front and yard for activities . Enjoyed the outdoor fire pit. Very spacious first floor for family to gather and easy access to the nice wrap around deck. Bedrooms on each floor allowed privacy for family members . There were a good number of chairs and floats available to use. Some aspects of the house are slightly outdated. The light switches were alittle concerning. The couches should be updated since they were both broken. More fans would help to keep the house cooler. It would be nice to be able to use the washer and dryer especially if you were staying for a week or longer. Also having a canoe or kayaks to use would be nice instead of having to transport ours down. We did catch a mouse running around . Garbage cans were half full when we arrived and pretty smelly . Overall a nice vacation home and would rent again .

Not as expected

The photos of the home were not a true representation. The dock and the planked path toward the lake were nonexistent. That's fine, not a big deal. The home was less modern and more dirtier than I had expected. My room smelled musty and stale, as well as the couches. Under my bed was an empty tampad wrapper. I found this pretty disturbing. The backyard had a lot of geese poop, which is fine because what can you do. The lake water grossed me out. The ground was super mushy and I saw a dead rat floating in the lake. If you're going to do a lot of cooking, bring some cookware because the knives are dull and there aren't many pots or pans to accomodate big meals. I was expecting a cozy updated home, but this didn't meet my expectations. Others seem to enjoy it, but this was my experience.

The view undescribably beautiful and the plenty to do, but the place needs some serious updates starting with the couches, mattresses, bathrooms, kitchen, etc.

Had a great time, but had some minor complaints.

Super Clean but slightly rundown. Wish they had told us that the water level was too low for swimming. At the end of the dock it was not quite up to my knees and then got very rocky. We had a great time, though as the fishing was good and we had brought our kayaks. We saw loons and great blue herons. The posting says bring sheets, but you might want to bring mattress pads as well, since the mattresses are all wrapped in plastic mattress protectors. (i ran out to Walmart and picked up a couple cheap ones and then it was fine.) The beds are very comfortable. The master bedroom is gorgeous, but it is in the basement which has a slightly musty odor. (Although not everyone in my family could smell it.) Consequently none of us used that room. I wish the room on the main floor had the the other queen size bed as that floor has a bathroom. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Excellent location and home

This lakeside property is excellent...it has nice sandy beach and several docks to launch small boats or a kayak (not a full-size trailered boat). The neighbors are close, but not too close, and with surrounding trees, it has a nice secluded feel to it and the view of the lake is great. Inside, the house is roomy and well apportioned ...the two bathrooms are great, fully modern with a good shower in one and a whirlpool bath with hand-held shower in the other. . The bedrooms are of a good size. There is an indoor circular fireplace which we did not use, but I'm sure would do well in the winter. The outdoor wrap-around deck is very nice, and entryway doors are nice and wide. The kitchen is good, with a large central island and has a full-size fridge, coffee-maker, etc. and is stocked with most utensils you would probably need for a short stay. Wi-fi is excellent...there is no cable tv, but there is a Roku TV, so there was enough content available for our purposes. Cell phone service, at least with Verizon, was very good. The driveway/parking area is large and can accommodate many cars...we had three families there at one time and still had room for parking left-over. Overall, it doesn't get much better and we hope to return again next year.

Great Lake House & Little Lake

Hello, We loved our stay in your lake house. Cute place, nice sandy beach. perfect for little kids too, water is pretty shallow. Our Lab loved it. House has everything you'll need in it. beds are comfortable but i would suggest bringing an extra blanket. the house stays fairly cool. (great in warmer weather) It was windy and cool while we were there but that just gave us an excuse to use that amazing fire pit/place in the living room. water is city so no bottled water needed. hot water and pressure was amazing. there was a few little things that needed fixing. the bathroom door handle was loose (we found tools to fix it), the right slider door lock is broke (we just used the stick given. standard for any slider lol) suggestions...bring pot holders for cooking. there's one there but it is kinda old. and the coffee maker takes #4 triangle style coffee filters. bring fishing poles (great fishing), the grill is charcoal, there are a few lawn chairs (ours are more comfortable)and it is a private lake so you have to get a lake pass (there in the house by the book shelves) and bring it to the Locke Lake Colony Association. its free. they'll give you stickers for your 'motor' boat and trailer to be able to use the boat launch. they give you a map of lake and where ramp is. Over all we Absolutely Loved this place. thank you again. we'll defiantly rent again! sherry, Alan, Heidi, Skip & Zipper

Nice view of the lake, had a blast, but multiple repairs are needed

My kids loved the lake and thought the 4 levels of the home was cool. There's wifi and a fully equipped kitchen. The downside, the docks are quite beat up and borderline safe. I was told a week before my stay that the docks need replacing but were safe. When I arrived there was yellow caution tape across parts of both docks. I was very disappointed. Also, the wooden walkway down to the lake is extremely dangerous and needs to be nailed down or replaced. If you step on certain parts, the other end of the wood will fly up. My 2 yr nephew got hurt because of this. We brought our own kayak, but It would've been easier if there was a canoe or kayak that was already there for use. The rooms are good sized, the tub In the basement doesn't work well so we didn't use. The screen door off the living room needs repairing, it was duck taped. Bring fans because we were super hot! The property did have a bunch of folding chairs and a fire pit which were very useful. Overall we still had lots of fun even with all the repairs that are needed!

One of the best houses

We are a family with 3 kids. We loved the house, very clean and cozy. The location was perfect, and the lake view was amazing. The only downside is no boats or kayaks available, other than that it is one of top 10 houses in the area.
