Very roomy!
We reallly didn’t fully utilize the property. Family in the area so we were with them. Wasn’t the greatest weather but not the owners fault. It would be my recommendation to fully air condition the place versus 3 units. Bedrooms would get pretty warm at night. Thankful I brought a fan and one was with the place. A few minor things that need fixing - cabinet door fell off and just missed my foot. Ongoing issues with TV but the living room one worked consistently. Batteries missing from remotes and one remote missing - housekeeper should check this before new people come in. Difficult to figure out when you have to use 2 remotes. I thought the house would be much closer to the water - a bit of a walk out there especially having had several knee surgeries. There should be some type of warning tape when there are step downs from one room to the other in the house - also not good for knees issues. Owner’s friend was very responsive which was greatly appreciated. Houses in this area are very close together. Many places to sleep so would work well for a couple of families to rent together.

Nice Family Vacation
Great time with family hanging out for a long weekend! Loved the game room and living areas. Note many of the rooms are on different levels from each other (one step up/down or a small partial step) - not a problem for our group but could be for others.

Perfect getaway
Our family enjoyed our stay very much! Plenty of room inside to not feel crowded and outside was great with the fenced in yard to throw the ball for our dog and play other games with the family. Everyone enjoyed fishing off the dock and watching boats drive by. Extremely relaxing. Would book again. Thank you!

Beautiful home
This is the most well maintained VRBO that I have experienced. Everything worked, the quality of kitchen supplies were much better than usual and even though it was on a river there were no bugs. The river was very low during our stay so we couldn't swim off the dock. The ladder on our dock and all of the docks around didn't reach the water, which is obviously no fault of the owner. There was a lovely swimming beach very nearby. My teenagers had an absolute blast catching types of fish that we don't have in Missouri. That said, there are multiple signs on the property to reflect the neighbors space. Those are there for a reason, there is one neighbor that watches like a hawk. The docks are close together. My 8 yo had a sloppy cast while fishing and his hook stuck in their dock. NONE of this is the owners control, but the neighbor was very unpleasant and let us know that he really dislike living next to the rental. So, if fishing with little ones, I would probably visit a public area. There was some disagreement at checkout, but it has been respectful. I would always suggest accidental damage insurance because what is no big deal to a mom of 5, can be a big deal to someone else. Also, take pictures at arrival and checkout. It's a good thing to do anyway (but i didn't!) and can save everyone the debate later. We rented a boat while there as well. We had never visited the Great Lakes area and really enjoyed ourselves.

Nice property and location
We recently stayed at this property in the off-season as an alternative to the hotels in the area. We were happy with the property and the location. Chelsea was a great host and provided a nice assortment of little touches that we have never had before at a rental property. Our kids enjoyed the game room and would have had a blast on the river if it was during the summer. I would love to go back and stay during the peak season and take advantage of the outdoor space. This is one property that you can feel confident that the listing description and pictures will be in line with your expectations.

5 star rental
This rental was everything we needed while staying and fishing the bay. The dock and easy access to the bay was awesome. The commercial grade fish cleaning station right outside the back slider door was a huge bonus. The rental was clean and very accommodating. Communication with the host could not have been better.

Perfect waterfront Home
We were greeted with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. All the amenities provided blew us away. The Game/bonus room was perfect for the teens and the adults enjoyed the spacious backyard with deck, fire pit, And dock. Chelsea was a gracious host and was there to answer any questions. The comments in past reviews about privacy and doors , all has been fixed and everyone had a private room and all bathrooms private. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!!
