Rented this location for a weekend with some friends and family (8 adults). Overall it was a great weekend at the VRBO.
There were plenty of small bowls, but we had to buy our own medium size bowls for our meals since we had pho/ramen - the small bowls were too small, and there weren't enough larger bowls unless people were to eat from mixing bowls.
Pros:
- hosts were great throughout the check-in process and texted to make sure we had everything we needed. Answered all of our questions.
- Boat (extra fee) and life jackets available for use
- Had travel size Toiletries in the bathrooms and coffee/tea for the coffee maker
- Plenty of pots and pans, and kitchen gadgets (mixer, blender, coffee grinder and maker, slow cooker)
- Bath towels AND recreation towels for when you come back from the jacuzzi/lake
- Interactive monitor mounted near the entrance with info about the property and nearby stores, and check-out instructions
- The individual beds in the rec room are actually trundles (lower pull out mattress), so it could technically sleep 10 people. We didn't find this out until after we picked rooms, but this would be good for kids or a parent and child to sleep together.
- Lawn games were great!
- Lounge chairs for laying out in the sun
- Gravel area and picnic table
Could be improved/wish we had known:
- Everything was functional but some things definitely showed wear and tear
- The house is near the end of the southern tip of the lake. The nearby boat rental means the middle of the lake is busy during the day - we ended up fishing near the end of the lake where there are less people
- The lake had a lot of lily pads and plants but the water gets deeper and more clear once you get towards the middle of the lake where the boat rental is.
- The bank is a bit muddy so you start to sink into the mud/dirt. Avoid wearing flip flops because you'll get stuck, but there are lots of rocks and sticks/logs so you can't walk around in the water without shoes so we only used our floaties/rafts rather than swim.
- Lawn clippings were not bagged/hauled so clippings were tracked into the house and stuck to our rafts when we brought them up to dry.
