We very much enjoyed our stay. The house/condo was very nice. A very beautiful vew from both decks. There is a propane grill on the deck for use. This was something we wondered going. Didn't see anything saying one way or the other. We were able a head of time to put in a Walmart order. It is located enough that we could have it delivered. Really made the trip easier. We were able to prepare a full meal in the kitchen. Only kitchen item that was not there was a measuring cup. The house comfortably sleeps 6. There is a couch and a love seat someone could sleep on as well if needed. All the comforts of home. There is beach access 2.6 miles away. We were able to take the kids and let them play on several occasions. Very easy to get to. Instructions for locking the house. Just push the lock button. The instructions on fridge are not accurate. When going in house there is a step down. Don't trip.
The house was clean, well stocked and cozy. Loved the 2 decks over looking the trees/water and the large patio between the houses. Unfortunately, the listing is less than accurate. First is the sleeping arrangement. In the listing it states that the common area has â1 twin and 2 double futonsâ. That is very misleading since âthe common areaâ only has a sofa and a love seat, no futons, sofa beds or twin bed. The second bedroom that can sleep 4 states,âcan sleep 4 with trundlesâ. That is a loose description, it is actually 2 twin beds with mattresses on plywood and wheels acting as trundles under the twin beds. As far as where the home is located, in the 4th paragraph of the home description it states, âthis on-the-water homeâ also the first line of the description, âLakefrontâ as well as 3rd paragraph, âshoreline homeâ. In all actuality there is a row of homes and a parking lot between said house and the shoreline and there isnât access to the waterfront at the house. Under amenities it lists the house as âwaterfrontâ and no where does it mention âno accessâ to the water. Very disappointing. There were 2 other details that should be looked into, check in time on the website states 4 but emailed paperwork stated 3. Also the WiFi password was incorrect.
Clean, great views. We live on the lake and needed a few extra beds to host some of our guests. They enjoyed the views from the deck for their morning coffee. The location is central to the heart of the lake as well. Perfect for a small group! Only suggestion is to literally line the parking spots as that was a source of some confusion. Overall, great stay
We enjoyed the accommodations, but a storm knocked out the power before our last night, and blew over the grill. We waited a couple of hours for them to restore power, but decided to go ahead and leave as it was getting dark, no A.C. I asked for a partial refund due to the circumstances, but didnât get any reimbursement. It would be considered an act of God, but would have been nice to get a little something back since we felt unable to stay the last night.
Nice property for our short vacation. Once acclimated we were able to find everything we needed. Loved the view & activities were close by.
Suggestion: Provide written instructions for the thermostat, TV & door lock. I had to work with it to figure out how to lock the door (the instructions posted on the side of the frig werenât correct).
We enjoyed our time at this cottage. While it does not have any water access it is a great option for anyone who doesn't need that amenity! Clean, comfortable, and plenty of space! We stayed over the 4th of July and wondered if we would be able to see the fireworks over Lake James with the trees in front. We were able to see them pretty well! The "million dollar view" title for this listing is a bit of a stretch with the trees that block the lake, but we thought it was funny!
House was clean and sufficient for our family, and the host made it easy to check in and out. It was decorated like a traditional lake home with a floral/romantic touch--not modern, but still in decent shape. 1 bedroom had 2 single beds with 2 additional mattresses that pulled out from under the beds. 2nd bedroom had a queen bed and was spacious. There was a blow up mattress downstairs in the storage closet that you could use for additional children/guests. A little hard to tell on the listing how the sleeping arrangements would be, but we booked last minute, and it worked out fine. Only 1 full bathroom, but it is fairly large. We enjoyed the decks off both levels. Just be aware that if you use inflatable mattress and extra pull-out beds, they will take up most of the floor space.
