Nice for a couple days away. I think the property is as it is described. The amount of space was awesome. There was a rancid smell in the fridge and the upstairs toilet ran. But I’m sure those have been fixed.

Lake Minnewaska Views!

Super cute property with wonderful views and access to the beach. It is apparent this is a well loved family property whose owners chose to share with others. While the circumstances of our trip were for somber reasons, the cabin environment was really nice and comforting.

Cute little cabin. Liked that it had towels, utensils, etc to use as needed. Host was easy to get a hold of with questions. Had some issues with the AC and a breaker but was able to resolve those. Grass in the yard was a little long but didn’t bother us. Overall had a great weekend!

Our 4th Year

This is the 4th summer we've spent at this house! We enjoy the house, the location, the creek, the large back area, the lake. The house is clean upon check in. Communication with property manager is good with timely responses. Areas of improvement include an air conditioner in the front bedroom. Window cleaning to control dirt, bugs, debris. The shoreline should be raked.

Enjoyable

The property and house were great. Could use some fresh couches but decorated nicely. The kitchen was spacious and loved the big table . I washed everything we used before using it. Cabinets and everything in them in the kitchen and bathroom need to be wiped down and washed. They are dirty. I would give it 5 stars except for this.

Great location

The location is very nice. Close to Barsness park which has a nice playground and splash pad if you have young kids. It was nice to have toys available for the kids at the property. The ice maker was a plus. Checkin was easy. A few suggestions: definitely need steps to the dock. Also, there was food left in the cabinets. I have never seen that at a vrbo. I had no place to put groceries. Kitchen cabinets need a good clean out and restock/organization. Overall a very nice stay.

Good but not great

Overall, the property was good. Would have been better with some minor upkeep. Biggest complaint was the number of spiders inside the house. The beach needs some upkeep. We cleaned up some of the debris and weeds, but there were still weeds that were large and need to be pulled. Once the beach was cleaned up, the kids had fun playing in the sand. The water was pretty clean and the views of sunrise and sunset are amazing.

Pictures of the property looked great. But nothing was super maintained when we got there. The lawn mowing service came while we were there so we had to move everything so they could mow. Someone checked out before us that day, so they had to “clean”. The Beds were all changed over and some clean towels out and what not. But there were spiders everywhere in the corners, the floors were sandy in the kitchen, and there was no fans or any AC units running so it was hot as heck in the house.. I contacted Chad a few times and only got a response once or twice. We made due and still had a great weekend.. but not sure we would stay again. Property overall wasn’t super great for kids. The creek across the backyard wasn’t ideal and the road was crazy busy with construction traffic that weekend.
