The view was beautiful. The amount of room was perfect for my family group. A couple safety issues. The stairwell going to the basement did not have a handrail. A few of the kitchen chairs had loose legs. We bought a screwdriver and fixed it. The dishwasher upstairs the seal was not in place so it leaked, but my brother fixed it.

Good location. The property has not been kept cleaned. We couldnt use one of the bedrooms since there was a water leak and the owner didnt fix it (juat gave us a bucket). One of the washrooms had mini frogs and other insects. Tried to contact the property manager (Dominic) and he was going to have the owner (Roman) reach out to us. Neither of them contacted back. Not happy with their maintenance and customer service. Stay away!!!

Spacious property. It was great for our family gathering. We all had a good time. The home does need some maintenance. Screen door on one slider was disconnected and was propped up on one side. The stairwell between the upper and lower units should have a handrail. Landscaping needs an update. Overall it was a good experience and would rent again.

We really enjoyed the location of this house. It is right on the lake, easy to get to. Dock is shared. Only downfall is kitchen is not well equipped. We rented the whole house, ground level and upper level, plenty of room then for all 16 of us. Don't know if I would like having some else staying above though, even though you can lock stairway on both sides. Could be noise factor then of hearing footsteps above you. (As someone else said in review). House is as pictured exactly. Other houses are close by, but lake & dock is great. Went to KOA water park - kids loved it! We rented jet skis the other day. Went to a winery late one afternoon. Adult time away, with older teens babysitting. There is plenty to do in the area. We will be back in the area again, maybe at same house!

Plenty of room and Great Lake access

18 adults and 1 baby stayed for 4 nights in this very roomy house with perfect access to the lake. Except for the carpeting on the stairs (which needs replaced) the place was very clean. More bath towels during the humid months would be beneficial, but overall we had a great family Christmas in July and would absolutely rent this property again

Although we were a little disappointed with the upkeep of the yard/ landscaping and the cleanliness of certain areas in the house , we all had an amazing time . It was the perfect set up having both the upper & lower units for a large family / friends with both an older and younger age group .

Communication with the host was quick, easy, and they are super friendly. We used both the upstairs and the downstairs unit, and there was plenty of space for our big group of 17—less than 30 minutes from stores and restaurants, and 5 minutes from ice, fishing worms, etc. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of utensils, dishes, and pots/pans, but if you plan on cooking large meals (like for our big group), you'll need to bring your own big pots (or get them from Walmart like we did). We recommend the Lake of Egypt Pontoon Rentals, aka "Weiner Rides," if you want to rent a boat. They were beyond friendly and will deliver and pick up the boat at this location. Last thing we'll say, there is PLENTY of parking. Our group was from 7 different households, and there was enough parking for all seven vehicles, which can be hard to find sometimes. We loved our stay here and will try to get back into this property when we return in a couple of years.

They have definitely fixed it up! Fresh paint and new curtains! We rent the top and bottom and really enjoy this place. Perfect for big family gatherings. They are quick to answer any questions or concerns you might have. They take good care of their guests! Looking forward to our next trip in one of their other properties.

Size matters

We were a large group and the house afforded space for all of us for sleeping and the children to play. There was an issue with the towels and cleanliness of the house. There was also a shortage of sheets for the pullout couches and blankets were not available for warmth

House was meh but the property management is A+++

First of all, I just want to say that the property management company overseeing this property is AMAZING. We had several issues with the home’s disrepair and lack of cleanliness and Dominic had maintenance out within a couple of hours and the cleaning crew out the next morning. The property— many of the window blinds are either broken or have multiple slats missing. One was in a bedroom that faces the neighboring house. My sister was very uncomfortable knowing that neighbors could look in on her while she changed or slept. Ivan, the maintenance guy that was sent out to repair the blinds, was super friendly and fixed what he could, but several blinds just need to be replaced. The home itself was pretty dirty. There was dried toothpaste in a sink, a used Kleenex on a night stand in one bedroom, bugs and spider webs all over the front porch area, dog hair on the floor, the carpeted stairs going from one level to the next were FILTHY. It looked as if they’d never been vacuumed or shampooed. The walls had black marks all over them in the stairwell. A drawer in the basement kitchen was broken, and there were cracks in the tiled floor. The sheets in several rooms were not washed There were hairs on a couple and black specks all over one of them. The comforter on my bed was visibly stained in one spot. It was very evident it was a “male stain” and even had drip marks. Gross! I looked under the bed and it hadn’t been swept in months. Crumbs and dust.

time with the family

In some ways, it was perfect. The lake setting was beautiful. There were enough beds for everyone and room to spread out. We had time to just chill and hang out with the family with no distractions. All our families were able to drive the same distance to meet up and spend time together. Mission accomplished. One the other hand, considering we fixed all our meals on site, the kitchen facilities were substandard. This bothered the cooks and our chef son. Next time (if we choose to come back) we will bring our own knives! Dealing with no garbage disposal was a forgotten skill that quickly returned. All families were used to having curbside recycling. (yes, we did improvise to recycle our glass, cans, empty water bottles, cardboard, paper, taking it home.) The final or first issue we discovered was leaking. There was water dripping from the trim around a bedroom closet. The puddle on the floor was huge taking two big towels to wipe up. We called the property owner, was assured someone would be out Saturday morning then crickets. (understandable as it was a holiday weekend but a call back to say no one was coming would have been nice.) The dripping was intermittent. Also one of the master sinks dripped under the cabinet. Since some one was supposed to come out Saturday we didn't report it until the day after check out. We called our vacation spot the party house since it's obvious no one stays in it long enough to notice and fix the little things.
