We rented this home based on the understanding there were 4 queen beds and a set of bunk beds, as that is how the unit was advertised. Unfortunately, when we arrived, there were no bunk beds. To be clear, the ad says the home can sleep up to 10, which it can if you sleep 2 to a bed and use the futon and couch. In our case, we narrowed our search of potential properties based on the number of beds available. There were 6 of us traveling and we each needed a bed to ourselves. It would have been a perfect fit with the bunk beds. After informing the owner of the issue, he was apologetic and claims that he informed VRBO of the removal of the bunk beds last fall and that VRBO is at fault for not removing it from the ad. I don’t know who is at fault, and don’t really care, we were just disappointed that 2 of us would not have a bed to sleep in for the week. In the end, the owner did his best to make it right by refunding a portion of the rent…so credit is given to him for doing so. Had the bunk beds been there, the accommodations would have been great. The misrepresentation of beds is the only reason I’ve rated the overall experience as 2 stars. Based on previous reviews, we knew about the rough terrain getting down to the lake so we were expecting that. In reality, it’s not that bad of a walk down.
On a positive note, we really enjoyed the screen porch. Spent a bunch of time out there and it was great.
Our intent was to spend a lot of time on the water but unfortunately the pontoon boat motor died about a third of the way through our week so we missed out on that. Thankfully a friendly neighbor towed us back to the dock when we broke down…Kudos to the man named Ken for helping out. Par for the course though as all the people we ran into while we were up there were very friendly!
Although we ran into a few issues during the week, we still had good times at the cabin. It’s always good to get away and spend time with your loved ones.
