Great time

Great stay while visiting friends at Bay Lake! Usually stay in a resort but since resorts are not open this early opted to try the home. Really enjoyed the great open kitchen - living area. Plenty of room for the 5 of us adults. Hot showers for all! Actually had a little snow one morning. Bay Lake is always a great lake for skiing and fishing but too early. We plan to stay here later this summer to take in the lake activities. Church Island is always a neat visit at Bay Lake in the summer on Sundays.

Review

Great place, and enjoyed our stay. Communication with property manager was great and allowed us to change from 4 to 6 people the week before to accommodate an additional couple one night. Provided maps and extra info that many VRBO owners do not. The only down side was that the dock was very shallow and completely filled with weeds from the top of the water down. It was so bad my motor wouldnt even work in reverse to get out. Also, we had cleaned out the entire home, and followed all directions to leave the property but one of couples had to return to get something they left behind at 11:20 and the cleaner showed up during that time so we were charged another $50 for late checkout which was disappointing.

Excellent rental, nice lake

The house is extremely well-appointed and the host has everything very well organized. There are notes in smart places and a binder with all the details about the home, lake, and surrounding areas. The host was very easy to reach for questions before and during our trip. All appliances worked great, the water pressure was good, and we had plenty of space in the cupboards and refrigerator/ freezer to store supplies for the week. We loved the large 4-season porch and the deck is spacious with shady areas throughout the day. The boat dock is in great shape and easily accommodated our large pontoon. There is an outlet on the yardlight that is close to the dock. The driveway was large enough for us to easily maneuver and store our boat trailer. There is a convenient table and water source for cleaning fish near the shed. Bay Lake is very clean with water clarity at least 14 feet. We enjoyed boating, swimming, tubing, and kayaking on the lake. We caught a variety of sunfish and bass of all sizes, some smaller northern pike and crappie. The lake offers many good fishing locations, even in winds with 30mph gusts. The boat traffic is higher on the weekends than during the week. The neighbors were kind and friendly. It is very convenient to boat up to Hansen's for gas and ice; the store is also walking distance and has many basic convenience items; the staff was very helpful. Garrison and Deerwood are both close and had grocery and hardware stores for the things we needed. Thank you for all of the efforts to provide a wonderful vacation location!!

Great family cabin!

Check-in process was great. Loved the keyless entry. We brought our own boat, and it fit nicely between the two docks. Ceiling fans were great and the other 3 fans provided were beneficial. A bit weedy by the dock, so kids weren’t able to jump off the dock and swim. We took the boat out to the middle of the lake to swim. Nice flat roads for running too. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice little getaway!

Bay Lake visit

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Bay Lake. We have stayed at Bay Lake before so were aware of the beautiful water. The cabin was very comfortable and very well equipped in the kitchen. Cabin was very clean on our arrival. The beds were comfortable and the ceiling fans were a big plus. The dock worked fine for tying up my boat. The yard was freshly cut before our arrival. Nice paved parking area behind the house. We brought our bikes and enjoyed taking rides each day. Overall a very enjoyable visit.

Perfect vacation!

Our family of four had an absolute blast! We completely unplugged and relaxed and spent our days fishing, swimming, boating, kayaking, and s’mores by the campfire at night. The location and amenities made it so you did not want to leave and we rarely did. We have stayed at many rentals and this one was outfitted the best by far. The kids loved the closet full of board games and the book selection was great. The hammock was a big hit and witnessed several naps during that week. Thanks Theresa and Matt for knowing and truly embracing what cabin life I’d about and sharing it with others.

Great property on a great lake!

We stayed at 4 different cabins on 4 different lakes this summer, all in this same general area. This property was easily the best one we stayed at. First off, it felt more like a home than a cabin, which means it was clean, well-stocked, and had plenty of room. The deck out back overlooking the lake was great, and the fishing on the lake itself was also excellent. We really appreciated all the little touches, which made it clear the owners know what they are doing. They were quick to respond to questions and easy to deal with.
