6/10 Okay

Jonathan R.

The location and view were perfect. The house seems to be falling apart. Definite know it’s a budget stay if that’s what you’re looking for. The floors are uneven and have soft spots, the shower has no cold water only scalding hot water, the AC units cool but they don’t dry the air. The host was reasonable and refunded us our cleaning fee. Yet he was at times a little hard to reach.

Needs serious corrective plumbing/carpentry; being on Lake Ontario is amazing

The view, yard and lake access are truly amazing. We could tell that this was a family vacation home with lots of great memories. The entrance to the house is very cute as is the backyard.That said, the house clearly has had an ongoing plumbing/sewage/water damage issue for an extended period of time. The floors in the living area, bathroom and kitchen were very wavy and spongy. You can see the tilt of the floors and counters compared to the walls in the listing’s kitchen photo where the sink back-splash is and where there’s a gap in the baseboard molding in the bathroom, but it’s more pronounced in person. Using the toilet, which was wedged partly against the wall and didn’t appear to be sealed to the floor properly, was…daunting.Keeping this house on VRBO in its current condition seems like a risky idea. If the structural and plumbing issues were addressed, we would absolutely stay here again because again, the location was amazing and the interior has huge potential to be charming when there aren’t underlying issues.

AMAZING Location, Quirky Cabin

Renting this property is all about expectations. We didn’t expect perfection from an older lakeside cabin, so we were thrilled with the outdoor space, the views, and the amenities like the private yard, fire pit, rope swing, and the amount of space it gave our family and two dogs. PROS: The location was fantastic as well, with a small town just to the east with restaurants and parks and a short (scenic!) drive to Niagara Falls and Buffalo to the south. It was so quiet and beautiful at the cabin, and we spent hours just staring at the views each night, watching the gorgeous sunset over Lake Ontario. I still miss that view, the sound of the water, the cool breeze. CONS: The cabin floors are not level. The photos are deceptive and don’t fully show the significant slant in the bathroom and kitchen or the smaller slopes in the living room. This wasn’t a problem for our family, but I could see it surprising some folks or causing issues for families with mobility concerns. It would have been a hazard for my grandmother if she had joined us on this trip. The hot water was HOT to the point of pain if you were not careful, and the shower took a LOT of tweaking to get it balanced to warm instead of scalding. Minor thing - The available dishes were a bit haphazard for our family of four. We made do. Minor thing - The host sometimes takes a bit to respond to messages through VRBO. I did not call him, which was an option, so may be more responsive that way.

December Night

We had no heat due to a broken furnace in December-the owner did bring a space heater, but that blew a fuse, not a relaxing time. We had a group of seven, so we could not find another place to stay short notice. We also found old coffee left in the coffee pot. The location itself was nice and the lake was beautiful!
