Unfortunately no
Let me start with the good. The manager was quick to respond to emails. The views were very nice. Parking was a bit odd, but plenty of spots. We had all the pots, pans and utensils we could need. The grocery store was close. Unfortunately time for the bad. Ants all over the kitchen. Old sauces and grease caked under the cabinets feeding the ants. Broken cabinet or missing kitchen cabinets. Overall filthy kitchen. Upstairs toilet had a brown bass waiting for us. We discovered they didn’t set him free because the toilet didn’t work. The hose to the fill tank had come off. But we then found water all over the floor behind the toilet. Check valve was leaking all over the floor. So for the trip we had to turn the check valve on and off to use that bathroom, or go all the way downstairs to the little bedroom with it’s own bathroom. I stayed in that room. The first time I used the shower, I found earwigs on the floor and in the tub. As I stepped into the shower, my toes went through the linoleum and sub floor. About a 6” long portion was broke and hanging by the adhesion on the linoleum. As I pulled the sheets from the bed to check out. The stains I found on the mattress cover actually made me mad. I took pictures. I honestly think someone either had mudbutt or threw up. Unfortunately due to the location of the stain, I afraid it wasn’t vomit. There were several other stains all over it as well as it looked like it hadn’t been washed in a couple years. Just stay away

Family reunion
The view of the lake from our deck was beautiful & inside the living room & diningroom were very comfortable & bright with windows. The modern kitchen was well furnished. The four bedrooms were comfortable & allowed privacy at times. We enjoyed the fire pit for campfires & kayaking in the quiet waters of the bay we were in.

Nice location on the water
We needed 4 BR’s and this location worked great for us. The adjacent night club gets quite loud on weekend nights but didn’t hamper our stay. The deck and location on the water made up for the late music.

Worse rental house ever.
First, the inside of the property was very dated. There was a small refrigerator and stove. No upgrades, no island so it would have been very hard to cook for 10 adults, which is what we rented it for. Also, I couldn't believe there were only 6 forks? On to the living room. The couch and loveseat were faux leather, which is okay but really old and cracked. Bedrooms were small, but comfortable. Bathtubs were dirty with no Kleenex. The deck of the house was a mess. The paint was pealing on the rail and floor. There was a wire going right across the patio doors on the deck that was a tripping hazard. The two tables that were on the deck were greesey. There were weeds so big in front of the deck you couldn't see the lake. The bar right next to the property played really loud music until midnight making it impossible to get any sleep. Last thing, the distance from the house to the lake was at least a football field away on a very steep hill. The dock barley could fit 1 chair. We had reservations for 3 days over the Labor day weekend stayed 1 night and left it was that bad.

Great Location
This is a great location that overlooks the lake. Very peaceful and relaxing! The house is the perfect size for a group of people or family. Everything we needed was supplied... blankets, towels, kitchen items, etc. Owner is good about getting back with you in a timely manner and is very accommodating!

This property was perfect for a girls escape. The location next to a beach bar and the cabin vibes made for a wonderful stay. The owner was super responsive also. There was plenty of room for 10 of us to spread out and enjoy.

Amazing trip
We planned a ski trip to Wilmont with family. We had an amazing stay. The view is gorgeous even in the winter when the lake is frozen. One of my children left their school-issued Chromebook behind and Jessica had the cleaning crew overnight it to me! Amazing customer service. Thank you for a great trip!

Okay property- good location
The property owner was quick to respond to our emails and took care of a broken TV within 24h. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean, but old. The windows in the downstairs bedroom and kitchen were so full of spiderwebs that you couldn’t open them. Property owner recommended to “take a cloth and clean it out ourselves.” We weren’t willing to clean her windows on our vacation and hope future guests will be able to raise the blinds and not have to look through thick webs and gunk. The check-in/check-out process was easy and we enjoyed our time on the lake and fishing off the dock.
