  Over all it was an excellent stay. The home and furnishing were great the view was spectacular. A couple of improvements are recommended. 1. There are no small appliances i.e. mixer or beaters, standard toaster or crock pot. These would help. There were no 8x8 or 9x9 baking pans. There were only 4 large mixing bowls and now serving dishes for the table. There was also an ant issue which the pest control company needs to address. None of these would discourage us from returning.

  Gary P from Jeannette, PA recommends this vacation rental

  Although this place was nice, I couldn't give it 5 stars because the description of the property was intentionally misleading, as it states it is a "Home" (the only picture of the front is of half of a house) but it's actually a TOWNHOME with full time neighbors on the side not shown in the pic. This was an important omission because our group prefers a very secluded setting where we don't have to worry about being annoying to others (playing music/movies or conversing too loud, etc.). However, because most of the other townhomes nearby appeared vacant during our stay, the area was very quiet and the well placed trees and overall layout helped to give the unit a more private feel.
  As for the property itself, we found it to be in good condition and it does have a great view of the lake from the living room and deck, so that part of the description was very accurate. We appreciated the large TV in the living room and the free streaming services were a really nice touch. The furniture and beds were pretty comfortable and the grill was in good shape with a full propane tank. We really enjoyed the hot tub; it was clean and well maintained and in a great location (under cover and with a view of the lake) and the hydraulic assisted cover was a great feature. The unit was pretty clean overall but I'd recommend a good window cleaning, especially on the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, which provides most of the view. The few things we found needing attention were fairly insignificant, such as the main bedroom/bathroom doors not latching properly, the fireplace screen falling apart, the rotary fan control in the main bedroom didn't work, the main bedroom TV remote was missing and the kitchen layout was odd with not much counter space.
  Overall, if you don't mind staying in a townhouse (with more of a community atmosphere), I would certainly recommend this place as it does have a lot to offer.

  Meghan B from Westfield, IN recommends this vacation rental

  Perfect space for our family of four. Cozy place, with all the conveniences of home. Easy to check in and out. Quiet neighborhood, and the home backs up to a woodsy area where we spotted four deer one evening! The house was clean and well-maintained. I would definitely recommend this property to others.

  a guest from Hudson, Ohio recommends this vacation rental

  Overall had a great day. The house was comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked, even with kid sized plates/forks. Bedding and towels were comfortable. The hot tub was very nice. The only negative is that after a couple showers, the water would get warm. It was a quick 2 minute drive to the ski lodge, so easy to drop off skiers. I would stay again.
