Nice Getaway Trip

We stayed here for a chill bachelorette party, and it was what we all needed. Overall the place was great and what we expected, and we would definitely book this place again! --We love that there is a lot of parking space, bathrooms, and common areas. The deck is BEAUTIFUL --Lots of kitchen space --Secluded but there are things to do within 10 minutes driving distance Some things to note/suggestions: --Mattresses for the full bed bedroom and bunkbeds are old and probably need replacement. Your least picky sleepers should be in these rooms. --The downstairs bathroom needs a shower seal. Water was leaking onto the floor --There are two Kings beds in the bedroom downstairs and not in separate rooms. --Sliding deck door was difficult to move --Stairs to main entrance are wobbly and not level, and it was difficult to see them at night. --Hot water ran out fast, so maybe a bigger water tank that can accommodate 3 showers.

Christmas in July

This trip was an annual July vacation we gift to our children at Christmas. This was our first time here and we all had a great time. Spent a great day on Lake Bellaire and when it rained we were able to enjoy the indoor pool at the resort. We also spent a few hrs at the resort golf and game simulator room which was enjoyed by all. Home was very clean and enjoyable. Owner was very responsive and helpful!

Beautiful space and tons of room!

We were in town for a wedding and this place was perfect! It's tucked in a woody, hilly neighborhood that made for great walking and provided that "get away from it all" feeling. The home is spacious and spread out, so plenty of people can stay here, yet still have space to spread out and relax. We loved that there was a basketball hoop, a spacious deck to play Corn Hole on, and enjoyed the fire pit too. We've stayed in this area before, and love the location. Would definitely stay here again!

Golf Trip

Stayed with a large group of 12 golfers, and the house was plenty big enough to spread out with that many. Great location for being near the golf courses, ski resorts and downtown Bellaire. There were no kids with us, but looked like plenty for kids to do at the house.

This Home is not summer ready!

We booked this home for a memorial weekend trip with extended family and while it was a decent property overall we ran into several issues soon after checking in. One of the bathroom doors would not latch no matter how much we attempted to push, pull, jiggle, or lift it to get it to work. This was a privacy concern for our group. The grill, which we had planned to use heavily was not on the deck but tucked away into the corner of the garage caked in sawdust and the grates were coated with burnt on food and grease. The deck itself, and all outdoor furniture was covered in forest debris and not set up for use. While the owner was quick to communicate, she made no effort to provide any solutions and basically told us that her cleaning crew was not responsible for any exterior areas and the grill was never cleaned unless guests chose to do it themselves. She repeatedly made it seem like we had unreasonable expectations, or that we were making up issues by insisting she'd never had such complaints. I would assume that if most of her guests are there in the winter for skiing they do not run into these problems. Ultimately, instead of attempting to fix any problems or offering compensation she told us we could leave and get a refund, which is what we elected to do. We ended up with in an exceptional home nearby and enjoyed our weekend. I've been renting on vrbo for over a decade and previous hosts were quick to offer solutions, alternatives, or compensation for lesser problems.

Annual Family Ski trip

This is a great home to stay for a ski trip. It’s close to the slopes, tubing hill and the town of Bellaire. This home has a great kitchen/dinning area, family room on both floors and a great kids play area on the third floor. I highly recommend this house for families! Thank-you Courtney!

Great for multiple families … BUT

PRO’s… big enough for large families to have areas of their own. Kitchen fully stocked with dishes, pots, and pans and utensils. Host was wonderful to work with, and her detailed text prior to arrival left nothing to be questioned. The movie theater size TV in the living room was easy to .access and gave you plenty of movies to watch. Plenty of bathroom linen. Beds were comfortable. Clean enough inside. Beware of the falling acorns on the deck. Lol. CONS … property is definitely dated and could use some TLC. it was extremely evident pictures were taken right before it was listed for rental. It is more of a camp in the woods atmosphere inside and out. The basement bathroom leaves a lot to be desired. There is a TV in the basement bedroom that was not even hooked up, nor had a remote to be found. Sliding door in the upstairs main living room was so hard to open that we never even used it to go out on the deck and went out through the hallway door. It was expensive when it was just my two sisters and I. That was our choice though, and not the fault of the owners. It would be nice to update the coffee system to a Keurig with the individual pods instead of having to make a whole pot of coffee. Trout Road on the way to the property is closed. I would expect this to be an issue for the remainder of the summer, at least. If you have a GPS, it will re-calculate and get you in a different way but when you first arrive, it was an inconvenience with not knowing.

Relaxing stay

The house was large and had a nice layout for our group of 3 families, each getting their own space. The location was nice and the access to the pools and private beach on Lake Bellaire were definitely a special part of the rental. We didn’t make too much use of the playroom upstairs because it was a little musty but would probably be nice in the winter months. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

Great Summertime Getaway

Our group of three families (including 2 four year olds and a two year old) had a terrific stay. The house was very spacious, the kitchen accommodating, and the pool/private beach access was invaluable. There were plenty of toys for the little ones along with a cozy fire pit for roasting hot dogs and s’mores.

Spacious woodland escape

The location and space for our group of 8 was great as well as the fireplace and fire pit! The front door was opened when arriving. The garage was a great space, but our roof racks did not fit (by less than 1 inch) so we parked in the driveway. The listing online was confusing as it stated an 11 AM checkout, though the owner stated later that it was a 10 AM checkout, The hosts were great in honoring what was advertised, just be aware they expect 10 AM for checkout. I would return to this location in the future.
