Ample space, comfy furniture. However every single towel, washcloth were all terribly full of awful sour mildew smell!!! Could use some better cleaning-Cobwebs everywhere inside, main bedroom mattress downstairs was covered in stains-gross. Could not open windows or doors to allow fresh air in because there were no screens anywhere to avoid letting in critters or insects. Views from the hot tub was nice!
Grandpa's Lake House was the perfect setting for our family to relax and unwind. The lake view from the livingroom and the deck was spectacular, both in the morning with a cup of coffee and in the evening with a glass of wine. The neighborhood was beautiful and so quiet. The house itself was so large that we were all able to find privacy when needed. There were some minor issues with the cleanliness of the house (mostly the kitchen), but nothing that we couldn't rectify ourselves. We thoroughly enjoyed walking through Old Town Florence, and spending a day at the ocean at Heceta Beach. By the end of our stay, not one of us wanted to leave. Not even our 3-year old grandson!
This home on the lake was beautiful and peaceful as weâd hoped. Everything was as advertised. There are neighbors/ houses nearer than we thought would be but everyone was respectful of space and very quiet. A wonderful location to relax.
Had alot of fun with our large family. Half where in the hot tub relaxing watching the kids in the lake while others watched from the warm livinging room by the fire place. kid friendly with toys for days. Airhockey so so
Disappointed. Place had a beautiful view, but the place and its amenities were run down.
As a whole we were very disappointed with our experience at Grandpa's Lake House. It has not been kept up for years and really needs a deep cleaning (filth on hand rails, doors and walls). Here is a list of things not available to us during our stay.
No water in the hottub (described as an amenity available), back yard unmanaged and over grown, dock unstable (fall hazard) windows filthy, curtain are musty, other people did not pick up poop from their dogs nor did house keeping, coffee filter with old coffee and mold still in it from when? Clock does not work. A drawer in one bathroom and toilet paper holder fell apart, rack in dishwasher when pulled out bottom rack it leans forward and all dishes fall out of rack.rtheiththe spots.
We were afraid the municipal coded quiet hours of 7 pm to 7 am was going to mean we couldnât enjoy playing pickleball in the yard before the luxurious 9 pm sunset, but nobody seemed to be bothered by our games. The house is perfect. Kids loved it. We loved it. Great location.
We unfortunately had a very bad experience. We booked the house expecting a 4 bedroom house. Once we arrived we found one bedroom locked and after pulling some teeth and communication taking a long time, was told that the bedroom and a half bath were out for repairs. This was not communicated to us prior to arrival so people had to sleep on the couch. We received little to no refund for this mishap. The house itself was fairly nice but outdated and couldâve been cleaned more thorough. The garbage can outside was full, smelt awful and garbage was spilled. I appreciated being right by the lake and the house had a lot of kid supplies (toys, baths, high chairs, etc). Overall we were disappointed in our stay.
Overall, my 4 friends and I had a wonderful, relaxing stay at Grandpa's Lake House. The house was as described; it was spacious, clean and well stocked. There were memory foam mattresses on all of the beds, which was a welcome change from previous stays elsewhere. The hot tub was clean and well maintained and it was great siting out and watching the ducks on the lake.
One important thing to note, in the entryway to the left there is a step down (maybe 3 inches deep) leading to the garage and bathroom/laundry room. The only thing to alert you of step down is a thin yellow strip of tape on floor and if you don't have hall light on you can't see it. Even with the light on it's hard to tell there is a step down and every single one of us didn't realize the step was there and almost fell. On multiple occasions. I was the unfortunate one that heard a pop when I landed and spent the first 36 hours of our trip hardly able to walk, elevating and icing my foot. After that incident we put a bench in front of step with sign to watch step. Luckily nothing was broken and my friends were able to find me a boot for my foot at a thrift store so I could get around some in those first 36 hours. Note to the owner, you should put a sign at eye level warning people to watch their step and also add a thicker yellow caution tape to floor.
With that being said, this was a much needed break from our crazy busy lives and we had a wonderful, relaxing time and we will definitely be back.
We were a bit shocked upon arrival at the state of unclean. If the outdated and unclean rooms and carpets were not enough it looks like laundry does not get done. Towels, pillows, and duvets are stained, dirty, there were visable unnamed smears on the duvet. There is junk everywhere and you can guarantee things are not moved and cleaned underneath (that wood block in the kitchen? Disgusting). It was hard to sleep. The sheets feel like sandpaper and we had to clean blankets before we felt comfortable using them. Very gross, outdated and junky. The views are great and the hottub is a nice touch. Those are the only remdeeming qualities. The pictures do not tell the whole story. I would skip this place and would never recommend to anyone.
We really enjoyed the location right on the lake. It is private and the lake is not a super busy one with motor boats. Everyone in our group had a lot of fun and we would definitely come back!
The house is roomy and has a lot of character.
One huge plus is a tranquil location, the home is nestled in a private lake cove. It is quite, spacious and comfortable. Another nice plus was the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen are labeled so you arenât searching as long for whatever it is you need for cooking. But the home has a used feel, lots of delayed maintenance issues and a moldy smell. The dishwasher doesnât really dry the dishes, the spa was broken, the dock was not useable, the yard not well maintained and the property just seemed tired. No pride in ownership was evident. That said, it was functional.and I would stay there again.
We had a very nice stay at Grandpa's Lake House, it was a charming, gorgeous location with plenty of space and nice accommodations. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy Oregon's beauty.
So much potential⊠location and access is awesome. The house needs some time, skill and vision and it would be amazing. It was lots of fun and we enjoyed ourselves. Hopefully it wonât get run down from neglect.
Beautiful location on the water. House has many beds for larger groups. No fires or firepit outside and must be quiet for neighbors. Bathroom door upstairs locks you inside if you close the door. Downstairs master has a TV, but once you sign in with your own Netflix or Amazon account, there is not enough bandwidth to actually play a movie. Most games are missing pieces to play them .
