We have enjoyed this home previously. Just a block away from the nice and popular little âbeachyâ area. Comfortable for six. Enjoy the deck with a great view once it cools down later in the evening. Looking forward to staying again. My only wish is that they replace the bunk bed room with a regular bed. The existing setup is squeaky every time you roll over so whoever sleeps in that room will end their stay unrested.
My sister and I spent 5-nights at this lovely house getting flowers and food together for a friendâs wedding. The space was perfect. The deck- an excellent way to unwind after working on wedding prep. The bed was super comfortable. A beautiful home with very responsive hosts. Thank you
We spent three nights at the Lake House and we had a comfortable stay. The house is cute, the furniture is comfortable, the decorations are nice, and its very clean. And the air conditioner was essential!
House was fine for what we needed, a headquarters for our week for allstar baseball. Bryanwas nice enough to partially refund us for some of the issues we found with the house (bathroom door was crooked on hinges and wouldnât close, broken railing on deck, false advertisement about a hot tub (a main reason I booked). Bryan assured us these issues would be addressed after I brought them to his attention.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We used the property as a staging base for our rock hounding in the area. There was an excellent view of the lake and surrounding mountains. We spent most of our time on the deck enjoying snacks and beverages. An unplanned benefit was the ability to view the Perseid meteor shower as the area is designated a Dark Sky site. Prineville offers some quaint coffee shops and restaurants and access to some Thunder egg collection sites. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were clean and well stocked. It was nice to have a laundry available of site to catch up on 4 days of "used' travel clotes. Would book again if in the area
We brought our jetskis out to the reservoir for a last minute post-4th of July weekend and were so pleased with #1: THE VIEW #2: The excellent/walkable distance to the waterfront and #3: the abundance of room for the cars/truck/trailer/toys. The home has the âbasics of the basicsâ but is priced as such. If youâre looking for more amenities (ie:beach chairs/towels/a well-equipped kitchen, etc. - youâll want to bring those things yourself) TIP: Be sure to fuel up all your cars and boats/watercrafts in Prineville proper as there is no fuel within 30 minutes of the reservoir. Weâll definitely be back!!
Stayed for 2 nights. The view was amazing and easy to get to the water from the house. Loved how quiet it was. The house had everything we needed for the stay. Highly recommend
The house was decent.
Dishes in the cupboards was dirty with caked on food. We had to wash pots and pans just to use them.
It was advertised as a lake house. The issue was that the low water level in prineville reservoir resulted in a 10 minute drive to any water, instead of a 5 minute walk down to the water.
Internet was virtually non-existent which was an issue for my family. We couldn't log into any streaming services and ended up buying a video at a store which we left at the house for the next renters to use...
Overall, the location is very nice and quiet, but the experience wasn't what we had hoped for.
When we first arrived we noticed the door was loose fitting and the wood around the door jamb was cracked. The code to enter the house quit working on the second day of our stay and we were locked out. After numerous attempts I was unable to contact the property manager. After an hour outside in 95 degree heat, trying to devise a plan and knowing that my husband's insulin was in the house, we discovered that you could use a credit card to unlock the door. This left us knowing that anyone could easily break into the house. It wasn't until 4 hours later that I was contacted by the property manager, via email, not a phone call as I requested, and given a new code to enter the house.
Other problems with the house besides the door were: It was 85 degrees in the house when we arrived, No hair dryers in either bathroom, the sheets in the master bedroom didn't fit the bed so they kept coming off, had to remake the bed every day, only 3 chairs around the counter but there were 4 of us staying there, (the house sleeps 7). There is no kitchen table. The umbrella for the outdoor table doesn't tilt to block the sun and it was too hot to eat outside. The water tasted terrible in the house, hence the coffee tasted terrible. I don't usually drink bottled water but if I had known, I would have brought my own drinking water. The BBQ was a mess and only 2 burners worked.
I left the house in perfect condition, I folded all the towels in the dryer, ran TWO loads of sheets and towels and cleaned the counters and the refrigerator, took out the garbage etc. Without a local contact and the remote location of this house I would not trust this rental as being a safe option.
