We stayed for 3 nights after Christmas, rough drive through a snowstorm that didn't end until well into our first day. The purpose of our trip was walk-out ice fishing and just enjoying some time together. This was my 2nd time using VRBO.
Some thoughts:
Hosts were good with communication, very prompt to questions all the way from booking to check out.
View is really nice, for winter it was great, gotta think summer is even better.
Amenities are well stocked, all modern and clean. Can't think of anything we were missing.
Thanks for being pet friendly! Dog had a great time too.
Basement space was great for drying out all the stuff we got full of snow from being on the lake.
Good supply of games, TV setup was nice. Cribbage table was a hit.
Good location close enough to town for supply runs but fairly free of road noise.
Beds very comfy. Master BR was warm despite sub-zero temps. Side rooms for kids seemed colder but they didn't complain.
Snow removal service was really good and prompt!
Only a few very very minor complaints / gotchas:
Couches not comfy for my tall frame, too low, personal preference!
Water kinda strange smell / taste - host warned us ahead of time to bring our own drinking water.
Garage not usable for vehicle in winter (used for summer storage) - not a huge deal, but had a lot of snow to clean up when we had to leave.
Be careful stepping onto the lake, large dropoff hidden by the fresh snow!
Would stay here again, the snowstorm made it difficult to do much other than ice fish fairly close to the house so we didn't get to explore as much as we originally planned. Good fishing on the lake, lots of crappie, and I expect we could do even better under different weather. Speaking of, if you go fishing, highly suggest the friendly folks at River Rat bait and tackle.
