Calm Waters Chain O' Lakes Vacation Home

"Beautiful place "

2/5 Poor

Beautiful Setting, But Needs Serious Cleaning and Upkeep

"The outdoor space is beautiful, with a great pier, fire pit, paddle boat (which we cleaned ourselves), and lots of deer. The washer/dryer were great, and the Keurig with coffee pods was appreciated. The beds were comfortable.However, the home was not clean or guest-ready. There were mouse droppings, cobwebs, spiders, and bugs everywhere—on ceilings, corners, and around the dining table. The floors were grimy. One shower had hair stuck to the walls and old Band-Aids; the other bathtub was clogged with hair and grime. The fridge had open soda cans and expired food, including marshmallows from 2022. Two stove burners didn’t work, and we shut off the gas due to a faint smell.The Wi-Fi and porch lights didn’t work when we arrived, but the host sent someone out the next day. Even after that, the internet was very weak (understandable in a remote area), and none of the TVs worked. The DVD player was broken, and the Wii had no controllers.There were no checkout instructions, but we followed typical Airbnb/Vrbo etiquette. The host was responsive, apologetic, and refunded the cleaning fee plus a bit more. Our trip wasn’t ruined, but my kids were scared to sleep due to the bugs. This place has charm but needs deep cleaning and better upkeep to be ready for guests"

Great family get away

"We had a great time with our family of three teenagers on the lake. We really enjoyed boating, kayaking and all the water toys. The adults enjoyed the lake view off the patio and the teens enjoyed the game room. There was plenty of space for everyone."

Wonderful Family Getaway!

"We absolutely loved our stay at this property for our extended family of 15. Diane was great to work with and responded to our every question and need. The house was extremely clean and well stocked. The lake access was wonderful. We really appreciated the use of the kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boat, and canoe. There were a lot of nice life jackets also as well as other floating toys. Fishing was fantastic! The kids were constantly catching bass and panfish. A few keepers but mainly fun to just catch and release. We loved being able to rent the pontoon as well. The house had plenty of sleeping space for 8 adults and 7 kids/teenagers. The pool table, foosball, and air hockey were also a huge hit. The 2nd refrigerator in the garage was great for our drinks. We also loved the large dining table so everyone could eat together and it was great for playing games as well. It was also nice to have the two patio tables on the deck. Great to use for morning coffee and visiting. We would definitely stay here again."

"The room was small but comfortable, with a big bathroom. There was a shared family room and kitchen in the house that was well stocked with essentials. We also liked the woodstove in the family room where you can make fire. Plenty of firewood provided. "
