Big Mac Shack - The Best

Although our stay had a few snags in it at the start, we loved the house and the garage space (there was a storm while we were there). We had plenty of space for the babies and youngsters to sleep and have fun. The kitchen area and eating areas were awesome. We spent time on the porch and a great ending to our days was the hot tub. We would certainly stay here again in the future.

Family Wedding

Two families stayed at the house to attend a wedding hosted nearby. The house was so perfect we hosted a champagne brunch for our immediate family the morning of the wedding. It was a wonderful place to spend time with family members we don’t get to see often. The view of the lake is wonderful. Plenty of parking, seating and a wonderful kitchen to cook a meal. Well stocked and perfectly clean. All bathrooms are nice sized, good water pressure and lots of comfortable beds. Highly recommend this house to stay and enjoy family and friends. Also, very close to a superb and highly rated golf course.

Perfect Gathering Spot

This property was perfect for our anniversary/ Easter get together. Great common space for us to cook, visit and enjoy each other’s company! The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and serving. Very limited and delayed communication from the owner, but ultimately no issues! We were not told in advance that the hot tub was not available. Not a big deal but would have saved us from packing swimsuits. Would definitely stay here again though, great experience!

Awesome place!

Communication with property manager was very limited. I didn't stay at the property, because my husband and I were diagnosed with Covid the day before check-in. Family members told us the property was very clean and the house worked perfectly for our family get-together. The road getting to the property may be difficult during heavy rain. We rented the house following a snow storm and the road and parking area were cleared out well. The kids even enjoyed some sledding. Overall, very pleased with property!

Fantastic home

This is a beautiful home! Lots of space and well kept. Our only complaint is the total lack of communication with the host. We sent multiple messages about door codes to get in, password for the wifi. If there hadn’t been a door that was left inadvertently unlocked in the back we would been locked out of a very expensive vacation. No reply at all.

Horrible

Rented this place a few months ago. I never received my check in information I called VRBO and the owners never contacted VRBO. VRBI cancelled my rental a few hours before checkin due to the owners never contacting me or VRBO. VRBO could have cared less than I didn’t have a place to stay. They would not help me to rent another place and I was left to fend for myself. Horrible host. Stay away.
