The property mgr company were great texted me and called to make sure everything was ok and if we needed anything and to check that we were happy with the house. Plenty of room and pool and hot tube /game room all great -kitchen stocked with everything we needed. Would definitely stay again. I’m
The property was perfect for spending time outside. The pool is huge and the outside covered deck was our favorite spot for meals and playing games at night . We brought our boat and the dock was well maintained and covered and about a 20 minute boat ride to a public dock. We stored our boat trailer at a storage place about 12 minutes from the house. It is on the less touristy side of the lake so it is not crowded at all. You have to drive about a half hour to get to shopping and restaurants but worth the drive to have a less busy area to vacation in. Will try and book this house again for sure.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sip Sip Away ! The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs. The house was equipped with everything you would need. The owners were having a leak problem with the pool causing a pool wide algae situation that kept us from being able to use the pool. There was also a distinct mold/mildew smell from the bathroom right off the kitchen. We just kept it closed and didn’t use it. All in all would stay there again as long as the pool was in working order..
This was a great experience!! We loved the house, the location, the view, the pool, the porch and I could go on and on. The property manager was amazingly responsive and fast.
The house was spotless. The kitchen had absolutely everything. The bathrooms were great. The pool, slide, hot tub, kayaks, pedal boat, and ping pong table were terrific. The living room furniture was brand new. The response to questions was great...
The only downside (hence the practically) was that they did not disclose that there was no window in the 5th bedroom altho it did have 2 doors for egress
The owner knew the hot tub was broken for weeks and said they couldn’t find the part. The same excuse was used for the boat. Very disappointed that we couldn’t use them.

Beautiful place
The biggest challenge we had was no lights on when we arrived and dealing with getting a code since “Avant” computer didn’t assign us one. The agent didn’t speak English well who was assisting and was convinced we were at the wrong house because she had the wrong reservation she was looking at. We stood outside in the dark in cold rain for about 30 minutes trying to get the code.
Place was well supplied. They had a complete set of kitchen pots/pans/anything you would need. Propane for the grill. Wood for the fire.
I had to replace batteries in their ceiling fans. None of the remotes would change the lights or fan speed. They had a paddle boat. It didn’t work well with a “redneck engineered” rudder, but it was fun none the less.
Overall, the home and experience was five star. I just dropped a star because of the check in being difficult and the management company being so “big” to not know which property they were looking at even though I gave my name and reservation number three times. Mostly wanted the owner (if there is one, not just the company) to know.
