My party (a group of five adults and 3 teenagers) really enjoyed this spacious and modern house on the Pines golf course and had plenty of room to spread out, while also enjoying game nights with shuffleboard, billiards, an indoor putting mat. We loved the landscaping in the backyard, getting to know the local birds and having memorable conversations sitting around the fire pit at night. There were only a couple of issues, both of which were resolved efficiently: 1. when we arrived at check-in time, the house was not cleaned. Not sure if this was a miscommunication or not, but local staff arrived quickly to clean the house while we went out to dinner. We were refunded the cleaning fee as a result. 2. The A/C went out in the midst of our stay, but after reporting this, someone arrived the next day to address this issue, so we only had a few hours without it. In general, I would have preferred to communicate with the owner of the home directly, rather than go through the rather impersonal Vacasa phone/text lines. At times, messages from Vacasa felt like they were AI-generated, which was frustrating. Other than that, it's a great house and a great value. We are considering staying here again the next time we go to Nekoosa for golfing (Sand Valley is only 5 minutes away), boating, and enjoying the various beaches and lakes that are only minutes away. We also took advantage of one of the heated swimming pools at the Lake Arrowhead Association, which was a nice amenity.
Great home and location. Spacious, well furnished. Two comments, lower level is very cold and the tvâs in the lower bedrooms required a code for Direct TV. We didnât have the code but not a huge issue.
House accommodated our family of 10. Would have been nice if there was green space for our grandchildren to play around on. First Smart House we have ever stayed at. Did take a while to get use to how it works. Pool at the resort was nice and warm, this was the only amenity that we used. Parking would be a little tight for up to 6 vehicles. Could not utilize the garage. Firewood was provided for campfire. Overall a very nice place to stay.
