We really enjoyed our stay at the property, but I highly recommend that the owner renovates some portions of the property. In particular some of the inside stairs seem to be close to failure and could lead to serious injuries. Similarly, the entire dock seems to be in disrepair and is littered with dangerous elements, especially for anyone who may have just climbed out of the water and may be a little wet. Please make some upgrades to keep the property a safe place to visit
The house was perfect for our annual lake trip with 10 adults. The house was very clean. We loved that each bedroom had a bathroom. The proximity to several marinas was very nice. We spent a lot of time swimming by the dock.
Great location but the BNB itself needs some work. Steps to the dock are an absolute. We had guests fall trying to get to the dock due to lack of a safe route.
Property is basically finished but very clean.
Overall good stay.
Great location and house. DJ was in constant communication and everything was perfect. He plans to add concrete steps to the dock in the near future which is the last thing the house needs. Highly recommend.
We had a great stay. We had a large group and it handled the crowd great. The open concept was perfect for hanging out and spending time together all in one room. The deck offered a beautiful view. The owner and management company was easy to deal with and had clear communication. Thanks!
The house was great there was plenty of room for everyone. The ladies loved the kitchen area it was great for preparing our food and the clean up. Some of the family even went fishing. The great grandchildren wanted to stay longer We truly enjoyed your house Thanks for everything supplied.
This was a fantastic home for a large group. The dock is wonderful, and close to Sugar Hollow and Shanghai marinas to gas up any boat you bring. You can launch from Deerfield which does charge $25 to launch and $7/d to store your trailer. The dock has two slips and can accommodate an in/outboard motor on the right but not a V-drive on the right due to hydraulic lift. A pontoon or V-drive can go on the left slip of the dock as you pull in.
The entry code is on the digital door handle not the outside lockbox. Carpool if possible, parking is limited to 3-4 cars in the flat part of the driveway.
Walk down to dock is all dirt and mulch which is not good in the rain, but not that bad if youâve stayed at other places on the lake with steep descents to the water.
All appliances and deck grill and A/C worked great. Beds are fine. Great pool table and ping-pong, and foosball table as well as video game downstairs. So nice to have 6 full bathrooms which all worked great. Bring extra towels for showers if you have a big group. Only 12 bath towels provided for our trip, but they may provide more in the future. Internet worked great with only 2 devices. When a full house was on their devices, the internet came to a complete halt.
DJ Hume was easy to communicate with before, and during our stay. He may get a better internet router or upgraded service in the future as this was our true only downside to this beautiful home.
The home is very spacious. It needs a few things on the walls to cut down on the echo. The king beds are not comfy at all but all the rest were great. The kitchen is really well stocked. We did not have soap or shampoo provided with our stay even though it was in the description. There was not a fire pit as described. Also the dock had multiple chairs broken. The dock is very difficult to get to. Stairs or a ramp to get down the very steep embankment is needed. It made it very difficult for the young kids and the older adults to go to the dock. The kids LOVED the game room. They were disappointed that there were only two tvs one upstairs and one down. The house is nicely furnished. The grill had very little gas in it. In the middle of cooking burgers it ran out and we had to bring them in. So it was a mixed bag of great space but the managing part fell short. No shampoos or soap no fire pit no gas for the grill no safe access to the dock these were the downers. It is a GREAT family reunion house though.
We had a great time at this house. The space was amazing and it had everything you need. The kitchen was stocked, plenty of towels, toliet paper, paper towels, etc. The beds were comfortable and the house was in a great location. The only negative is the walk to the dock was pretty steep gravel. You need to be able bodied to walk to the dock. We will definitely rent this house again!
