Great stay over all
Over all stay was great we love staying here it’s always been great. We stayed checking in on July 6th whoever stayed prior for the 4th of July weekend left the propane tank and it was completely empty the check in was delayed the passcode was not the last 4 digits of my phone number so we were sitting outside of the house for about 45 mins with all of the food items until we got sent a correct code. The cleanliness of the house was rushed and some of the beds had no sheets . Nothing major over alll it was a great stay we love the location of the lake house and the view is amazing the family had a great time . We gave the house a pretty good cleaning before leaving and we look forward to staying again .

Not much positive to say
Dirty, dirty, dirty and gross! Dead raccoon greeted us and thankfully the lawn guy next door removed it; door code didn't work; dead bugs everywhere; bathroom plumbing fixtures loose in every bathroom shower making it difficult to turn on and off; had to fill the master bath toilet using a trashcan; there was ONE bath towel in the whole place that we found (good thing we brought our own towels, hand towels, kitchen towels, wash cloths and our own bed linens and pillows); the dishwasher was full when we got there and stunk something awful, we wouldn't use anything in that kitchen (again, we brought our own dishes, utensils, cookware, coffee maker, etc. thankfully); there were sheets thrown under a cabinet in kitchen; there was stuff in the washing machine when we got there; no one should stay there if they have mobility issues because they would have a dangerous stay due to the many, many floor levels; exterior doors wouldn't close upstairs or wouldn't seal downstairs (probably why there are so many bugs); WiFi did not work so then neither did the TV. Positives are the deck and view and the AC and hot water heater worked.

Never again
Tried checking in about 15 minutes after check in. Code provided for lock box would not work. Tried several times to call the number provided for the property rep only to go to voice mail. Representative reached out about an hour after check-in with a new door code. I returned to the property,was able to get in only to find that the property was filthy, floors,counters bathrooms basically everything. I also found the added bonus of the house having no power at all. I reached out to a neighbor outside and found that everyone else had power. I left and shortly was contacted by the rep to which i voiced my concerns. I was recontacted shortly and was told that the power should be back on in an hour or so. By that time it was a couple of hours plus after check in and i had made arrangements for accommodations else where. I would not recommend this property to anyone ever..

Buffalo lake house
It was a good stay exactly what we expected great stay. Right off the lake only issues was that the house was a little dusty on the floors. Over all a great stay will definitely stay again if we ever come back to the lake.

Unable to reach host
Had a family emergency and was unable to reach the host to cancel reservation. Still working with VRBO / Evolve to rectify the situation. When you rent this property it kicks you from VRBO to Evolve.

Thanksgiving family reunion
We had 9 guests. Kitchen was well stocked with essentials. We arrived in the dark at night and the porch lights were not on. We had to call and text the host to get the correct door code because we had been told the wrong code. The neighborhood is nice. The main floor bedrooms were cold. There were extra blankets, which helped. There is a lovely fireplace in the great room that heats the living area. The upstairs bedrooms had central heat. We used all the beds and the air mattress. Neighborhood entry fee is high so do check that as you’re calculating total cost of stay. It was nice to see a new area of Lubbock.

Dirtiest house I’ve ever stayed in
When I first walked in the house reeked of mold, the house looked like it was speed cleaned, dirt all over the floor cobwebs everywhere, the master bedroom bed was broken and sinking in the middle the bed is being help together by sticky putty and Velcro, the pillowcases in 2 of the rooms had blood on them and the stairs are a danger to walk on everytime I walked on them it felt like the wood was going to give out

Lake house stay
Location was great.
House could use some TLC. Spiders and webs through out the house. Downstairs shower in washer room did not work. Beds not comfortable.
Outdoor patio area was dirty.
Some kind of animal, maybe a raccoon has access under the house into the wall. It was moving around and scratching at the walls and floor. Might book again only if issues are resolved.

Buffalo Lake VRBO
The property was a great fit for the group that we had. The house had great accommodations, bathrooms, beds, etc., along with the porch/covering in the front of the house. The view of the lake and location to the marina was superb as well. Overall, worth every penny.

Located on small lake outside Lubbock
Location is picturesque. House is nice but feels a bit cobbled together. Sort of like your brother-in-law’s cabin where he did a lot of the work himself. WiFi and TV worked well. Heater really only heated upstairs bedrooms well. Downstairs was cold. The converse may be true in summer. You have to pay for lake access/parking (charged at gate by local government) which is kind of nice for security but day visitors to cabin also have to pay.

Family Fun
Nice home, close to the lake and nice beaches. Home had everything you need and the washer and dry worked well. The air flow is not well, need to leave doors open for the whole house to stay cool. Lots of room and space for the family and outdoor space was very nice. Loved the tables and swings. Would stay there again.
