Quaint but did not meet expectations
The cabin needs some upgrading as other reviewers have stated. The lock in the sliding glass door in the living room is non-existent so it's a good thing it's on the second floor. The jacuzzi was partially filled so we couldn't use it. We knew from the description the boat dock wasn't available but it needs serious repair if/when the water level does go back up. Word of warning, the light in the 2nd floor bathroom has a timer. It will switch off leaving one to shower in the dark. For the price I paid, it was not worth it and the $200 cleaning fee is steep considering it was not spotless. The last thing I'll mention ... bring another wine glass if there's more than one person drinking wine. They have exactly 1 but many champagne glasses. The location was quiet and the pool table was a bonus even though it's in a tight space. I would stay here again but absolutely not at this price.

Nice place
The location of the house was nice. It was just outside of town and about 2 miles from snow summit. It is in the water but the lake is still low so the water right there is not the best. The dock is not useable so don’t plane in that. You are right behind the hall away marina and they have boat slips if you need to dock your boat. The inside of the house was fantastic. The bedroom layouts are perfect and you can tell they are making upgrades as they go along. I would recommend this unit.

Beware of description
My family and I made the best out of our stay, but we didn't have the best experience. I stayed at this home in the wintertime and there's not many upgrades, only upgrade to the upstairs bathroom. The reason why I booked the second time around because we enjoyed our stay a few years back and we thought since its summer month we could take our boat since the description states the home have a boat dock. So, we booked-after booking we messaged the host and asked if we can leave our boat at the dock during our stay, she messaged back and said let me get back to you. I waited a couple days with no response. We never got a response. As it got closer to our stay I called and left a message-no response! So, I sent her a text message and she finally responded saying they will try and get the dock moved and we can fish off of it. Good we didn't take the boat cause the dock was submerged in water. We couldn't even fish off of it. Second, refrigerator didn't get cold, I reach out and she said for me to place a bowl of ice in the refrigerator and the reason why it wasn't getting cold is because I filled it up with warm food. Thank God we brought coolers because we had to keep our drinks in the cooler and switch food from freezer to refrigerator to keep cool. No light over pool table, was told to get lamps from downstairs. LASTLY, Gas leak from stove igniter, woke up with the whole house smelling like gas. She sent someone out but that's it-no follow up on the issue. Very disappointed

Outdated property description
The communication with the property manager was spot on. The property itself is outdated, the roof was leaking in various locations. The preset heater temperature did not extend to the 2nd level. Sliders do not lock on the 1st and 2nd level. Could not use the washer or dryer without the breaker tripping. Overall stay was not worth what was paid.

Not happy with the condition of the house
The property was very unclean. The jacuzzi tub was partially filled with water and had mold. There were broken boards by the tv with mold on them. The dryer lint filter was completely filled and didn’t fully fit the screen due to the lint build up. There were ants in the kitchen along with mouse droppings behind the fridge. Also found a dead mouse in a trap next to the dryer! Looked like it had been there a little while. There were cookies and new years’ Eve hats on top of the refrigerator. My family and I checked in on the 19th, 18 days past New Year’s Day. My son has asthma and he couldn’t stop coughing and sneezing. We could only stay there 1-night and that only happened because my children were exhausted.

DO NOT STAY
The management of this cabin was the most unhelpful management I have ever experienced. We showed up at the cabin and were welcomed by some trash and dirty dishes. When we tried to find the wifi and were unsuccessful we texted management and they never responded. Then the next morning when we were using the middle floor shower, we realized that the ceiling in the downstairs bedroom was leaking all over our beds and belongings. We had people that had to sleep on the ground that night and weren't provided help. Overall, it was super disappointing and even though we did get partially refunded, it was definitely not worth it. Never staying here again.

Amazing location, Amazing property, and overall a wonderfully rental property. The only issues were that the rental did not come with toiletries, cleaning supplies, many spiderwebs and lastly the roof sprung leak on us early morning. None of the negative point would keep me from renting this property again not major issues for us.

Not Happy..!
Arrived with my family Friday, cabin not what we expected for what I paid. Back living room door was broken. Called the owner - she sent someone to look at it. There were spider webs all over the cabin (killed several spiders) - worst was on the lamp over the dinning room table. Saturday night had to call the police because of loud music by next door neighbors - we got no sleep. Needless to say - I will not be staying in this cabin again.

Mold everywhere
My daughter arrived at 3pm which is check in time and the cleaning lady was there. She had to wait another 45 minutes for her to finish. Mold and mildew in both bathrooms - shower walls, outside the shower doors and all around the seal of the tub. Mold growing in corners of the bedrooms downstairs (in the wood). You can tell where someone tried to patch some areas that have leaked but didnt do it very well. The iciing on the cake was when my son in law took a shower in the upstairs bathroom and water started pouring from the light fixture in the bedroom beneath it. As well as the wall on the far side of the same bedroom. I contacted Stacie and I did get an immediate response. Her solution was to send someone to the house to change the bedding on the beds that got wet. No apology or anything. So 8 people had to share 1 shower for 3 days. Now onto the dust layer. So thick on the railing of the loft you couldn't even blow it off. The toilet paper holder fell off the wall as soon as it was touched. The reviews I read said that it was a very clean place. And that is not what we experienced. Extremely disappointed

Thank you, Next.
This camp home has potential. It's a beautiful home but it needs an upgrade (the stove, beds, and windows). It's dirty since there were mouse droppings and no hand soap. The pictures online are not close to what this house looks like. I'll rather pay a little more and stay somewhere more upgraded.
