Great Location, But Older Property
Best part of the property is the location on the lake. However, the first impression driving in was off putting with the broken down car, boats, leaves, cobwebs and debris covering car ports, decks and steps. The worst part of the house side is the kitchen. The counter tops grout, floors, fridge, are all older and not clean. The dishwasher was full of dishes when we arrived, the coffee pot had not been cleaned in a very long time. A pan was left in the oven filled with a large amount of grease from a prior rental. Large cutting board on the counter was very dirty. Not impressed with the older kitchen. The ignition switch on both BBQ did not work. Need to have your own lighter. One of the BBQ burners is out. Broken shades and stutters. The view of the lake is very nice, along with the family room area to all to hang out. If it weren’t for the lake view and dock, I would have rated the house a 2. In general the property needs some love and care.

Had the best time here with my kids and grandkids and brother. You could make a small sand beach instead of rocks would be perfect kids could play in water.

Great Location
The location could not be better! Right on the lake which was lovely. The home is spacious and comfortable and perfect for your entire family. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked. My only negative is the home is very dated many of the electrical outlets did not work and one side of the sink was not operational during our stay. We made it work and honestly would stay again. It would be nice if the owner would allow us to use their kayaks. I would have paid an additional fee for that convenience.

Lakefront dream
I wish this place was ours. A lakefront home on a sweet spot. Relaxing and spacious, well stocked kitchen and very comfortable king size bed. A few handyman projects here and there but nothing that spoiled the experience.

Great location- horrible management
The location of the home is great. Fun having easy and private lake access. The house was open, comfortable and well stocked. The issue is the management- several issues came up and it took over 24 hours for a non autogenerated response. Several issues still are unaddressed. One of the toilets was out, the dishwasher was broken, the stove top did not work, ants in the kitchen and bathroom and a few minor other issues. The local maintenance person was helpful, but the management failed to contact him for the first 24 hours. If the home was fixed and under different management I would be happy to stay there again as the setting was perfect. However, I will never rent from a home managed by vacasa again. It’s unfortunate. I would have loved to tell the owners this directly, I asked for their contact information, but was not given their contact- rather than public review.

Wonderful stay
My family really enjoyed our stay! The views of the lake from the kitchen were beautiful, the children enjoyed the dock and the house was spacious and comfortable. My kids are already asking when we can come back! The lower lever is only accessible from the back deck but that was fine for our group. Kitchen was well stocked and access to town was very close. Thanks

Beautiful house right on the lake.
This house was perfect for our family trip. Nice open living room area. The location on the lake is great. Two bedrooms and one bath are not accessible from inside the house, you have to go outside and downstairs. It wasn’t a big deal for us because it wasn’t snowing or raining. Overall great house!

Relaxing getaway that worked out like a charm
This property provided the perfect place for us to spend a weekend. It was comfortable, remote, and accommodating. Vacasa and the property manager were great, easy to communicate with the whole time. We spent a lot of time by the lake and did multiple meals on the lower patio. Would definitely recommend!

Filthy house - stay away
Oh boy, where to start?! I am very sad to write this review, as I would have loved to give this house 5 stars, but it is disgustingly filthy and it is a pattern, I am afraid, judging by similar past reviews despite management responses below that the house is normally not as dirty. The day we came we discovered some brown sticky substance with several black hair stuck in it around the sink in the main upstairs bathroom, food remains on the dining table, sticky dishes and dirty cups and pots/pans (had to rewash some things before using them), meat blood in the freezer, spider webs everywhere, not enough spare linens to use with extra mattresses, and those that were provided were with holes and smelled used and dirty. Our feet turned black from all the dirt on the floor (I wish I had taken pictures of them as I did of everything else). The management did drop off the linens, but it was a drop in a bucket of fixing all the issues. The place advertises enhanced cleaning due to Covid-19, by all means, it fails minimal sanitary standards, not mentioning enhanced anything. It's a legal and safety issue given the pandemic at hand. Next day we went to the dock and the stench was horrible. We found a decaying corpse of a turtle and bird remains. We also found broken beer bottles in several places and juice packet on the ground - all right on the path from the house to the dock in visible places. We were lucky none of the kids cut themselves on broken glass. Next to the deck we found some loose tarp. The dock's railing isn't secured well enough which presents safety concerns, as well as non working lights at the entrance to the ground floor, which were promised to be replaced, but never were. Overall, the property inside and out is unkempt, and it was very disappointing to vacation and celebrate 2 birthdays in such conditions. It was ridiculous to pay as much as we paid for this house, when a house in this condition should not be rented out in the first place. I expect that the company that takes money for providing a certain service does so professionally, especially given the pandemic situation.

Disappointed
We came back to this house for the third time. Unfortunately, will never come back again. Over the years, the house has not been maintained. Needs a lot of work, everything is broken and dirty. Can’t believe how dirty it was specially during these COVID times, Cobwebs everywhere, carpets stink. Kitchens pots and pans unusable. It was a very hot weekend and the AC doesn’t seem to work well. Be aware - They provide one one roll Of paper towel , toilet paper and trash bags. Location is awesome but there are plenty of other houses on the lake with better facilities at the same price.

RENTER BEWARE!
Before we rented this house, we read the reviews that complained about the house being dirty but we assumed that because of the past reviews, the cleanliness issues would have been resolved and we would find a clean house. This was not the case! The first thing we discovered was the downstairs sleeping area was not locked and it looked as though the bed had been slept in! We had to wash the sheets and shake out the comforter to make sure it was safe to sleep in. To make matters worse, there was NO ELECTRICITY in the downstairs bedroom and bathroom. We called Vacasa guest service line to get some assistance and they created a work order, but we were told not to expect anyone as it was too late in the evening; 8:45pm. Instead, Vacasa asked us to look for the breaker box because that was most likely the issue. We never found the circuit breakers (probably in a locked room) and Vacasa never got back to us. We did however find antiquated wiring throughout the house with broken GFI switches in the downstairs bathroom. We rented this house for Thanksgiving, which for us means cooking large meals and watching football. The kitchen was absolutely filthy; the counter tops were stained with spilled drink and food, pots and pans were put away coated in grease with food stuck to them, and the glassware was grimy. There was even used coffee left in the coffee maker. We had to wash everything before we could use it, which meant a trip to the store because there no dishwasher detergent or spray cleaner to be found. And finally, the TV only got select stations none of which were broadcasting NFL football, so there was NO football on Thanksgiving!!! Aurgh! Other things to note: • Trash under the couches • A candy bar under the bed • Used Kleenex left on the floor • Spiders and spider webs were everywhere • No mirror in the half bath The two star overall rating was given due to the beautiful lake view and lake access and the living room, dining room, and kitchen were perfect for large family gatherings. Excellent fireplace too. But, if you are looking for a run-down, dirty house, this place is for you. We really hope the homeowners tune in and at least hire a different management company because whoever is supposed to be cleaning the house, is not!

When we arrived After 4pm the key code would not work! We had three phones connected trying to reach someone. I also sent texts and emails. We had gone grocery shopping in Groveland For ice cream, milk and fresh items. It took over an hour for someone to finally pick up the phone. She gave us another key code which worked. I was told someone would contact me regarding this situation but no one ever did! I was also told I would be credited for groceries never happened. I had tried to check in early was told no because the cleaners were taking extra time to clean and sanitize. We were totally upset because the house was filthy. The kitchen was not cleaned at all, sink was not scrubbed out ....the pots and pans were so dirty we scrubbed everything before we used it. The kitchen table was such a great size but also dirty ...there were no cleaning agents like comet in the hand or Clorox so it was hard to wipe them down. Bedrooms were fine...Clean towels were there 1 per person Bathrooms were okay tried not to think about this after the disappointment in the kitchen. The outside area was awesome and the dock swimming. I would Stay here again but would bring my cleaning supplies with me.

Great Dock/Lake! Grimy House
Overall this house was in a great location with a great dock and on a great lake. The views were spectacular! The grounds were nice. The dock was amazing and my family loved fishing off the pier. The outside was wonderful. I would rent this house again if a few things were cleaned up. BUT- The problems were inside. We arrived and 2 of the 4 bedrooms weren't made up. There was large trash bags in the drive way. I called the property manager and they came within 45 minutes to fix all of that. Great! Beds made, trash taken away! The problem was that the house had a smell and was full of cob webs. The place was just grimy. It was like they left the house for years, then quickly did the bare minimum to make it a rental. Don't get me wrong. Sheets, towels, counters were all clean. But the rugs were very dirty. The air vent in the hall was disgusting. Walls need paint. If you looked too closely at anything you noticed it was gross. I opened a kitchen drawer and was dry heaving because the stench was awful. I think something died. It was also dangerous. We used the gas grill - 3 stories up- on a wood deck- and a grease fire caught. Who knows when the grease trap was last cleaned? I ran to find the fire extinguisher just in case and it had already been used! No pin! empty! My husband quickly discontented the propane and moved it out of the way. Then we just watched it burn itself out. Luckily it wasn't worse. No Fire Extinguisher in the kitchen is negligent! Also, the kitchen sink literally cracked down the middle when we put something frozen in it. We couldn't use the sink. I've never seen a sink crack like that. The downstairs sink in the bathroom didn't have a handle. It only had the screw sticking out so my kids couldn't use it and we struggled to use it. There were no instructions for anything. The outside area by the dock was nice but at night we couldn't use it because I couldn't find a way to turn on the electricity out there. I loved the outside area of this property. The dock was perfect for our purposes . But this place needs some help before it can be rented out again. It needs a very very deep cleaning, some instructions on how to use the property and some upkeep (new sinks, fixtures that aren't broken, new air filter). 5 stars = outside and dock. 2 stars = inside - clean comfortable beds, clean linens, clean dishes- but the rest was dirty at best and dangerous at worst.
