Jared, the owner, was prompt in responding to communication I initiated, & worked with me to adjust our arrival date & time, which was greatly appreciated.
The inside of this VRBO, w/ its 2 bed./2 bath. (on either side of the L/R), was absolutely as described. Although built 7 years ago, it appeared much newer than that because it has been kept so clean & maintained. The wood floors looked new & kitchen cabinet space was plentiful. The beds were comfortable w/ hotel-quality bed linens. Bathrooms were spotless w/ thick towels. The kitchen was outfitted w/ non-stick Green Pan pots and pans, & every utensil needed was provided...it was a pleasure to prepare meals there. We all appreciated the Mrs. Meyer's Hand Soap provided in the kitchen and both bathrooms, as well as Dawn Dishwashing Liquid and Dishwasher pods provided. Extra paper towels were provided, which is not always the case with other VRBOs I have rented. WIFI connectivity was perfect, & the large wall-mounted TV provided lots of entertainment in the evenings. The living room has a couch & one chair. I would suggest that another chair be added, as w/ the four of us, there were always 3 of us squished together on the couch. The high-top table was not to my liking. Most seniors like me & my group do not enjoy sitting at them. I'm short, so the chair front was always cutting in to my thighs. The patio has a patio table with umbrella that provided shade when needed, & the Weber BBQ Grill was of good quality to use. All that said, there was great disappointment when we arrived to see that the house was set about 400 yards back from the water's edge, & only a small glimpse of the lake greeted us. That is not what we expected from the VRBO description and photos. Although there is no blatant deception in marketing this property, there has not been transparency...I call it deception by omission. The comment in the description "Enjoy the Views of the Lake from the patio furniture", is not true. I would suggest to the owner that he take a day to come to the property & remove the brush and smaller tree saplings that are blocking what could be a lovely view. There's one taller tree that, unless forbidden by the DNR, I would also remove for truly unobstructed lake views. Lake Pokegama is known for its Walleye fishing, yet no fish-filleting area is provided. The pathway to the dock needs attention w/ a weed-wacker & minor repairs. We would not stay here again due to its proximity to the water.
