Pros:
The home was clean, spacious, and extremely enjoyable. We had so much fun entertaining ourselves at the house that we really didn’t explore much of the State Park until the final day. We will definitely stay here again and we had a party of 16 with more than enough space.
Cons:
Some of this stuff may seem petty, but I feel like honest reviews are important. The bedroom on the third floor was uncomfortable for a family because it seems a bit crowded. You can’t stand up completely straight in all parts of the bedroom because of the roof, it had some spider webs it it (no big deal to me, but it bothered the family that was in it) and there is no door to the room so you can hear any and all noise from the 2nd floor and bottom floor. One final note about the bedroom, the beds are pretty tall so we had to find a step stool for my elderly mother. The kitchen didn’t have a decent assortment of cooking pans but we made it work. Bring your own forks because they had about 7-8 and we had 16 people. The batteries needed replacing in the remotes for the living room TV, first master bedroom, and outdoor. We also kept having to unplug and reset the cable TV boxes for those TVs as well. The front door and back doors lock but the deadbolts barely are pushed into the frame so they could be easy to open with some force. The lights above the jacuzzi didn’t work.
Some of the properties around us had outdoor
string lights put up for when it is dark, this would have been nice because the fire didn’t light up a large portion of the area so it was hard to see without lanterns.
Summary:
Overall this experience was amazing! We’ve stayed at plenty of VRBO rentals and this by far is in my top 2 favorites. We plan to reserve this home again in the summer. The owner went as far as leaving firewood, toilet paper, and detergent for us. However..do not use the managing company for delivery of your groceries. No one there is on the same page about the process and apparently they don’t work after 11AM for grocery delivery. ( we found this out the hard way, but yet they don’t tell you and they only have 5 people who work in reservations) Contact grocery delivery at the local store (not Walmart) and they charge a flat rate of $25 versus the managing company at 15% of your total bill.
