Difficult check in.
Stay was very nice, place was clean, cozy. We thought we were on the lake, but it was on a nearby street. Check in was really difficult, the indicated the lockbox was on the side door, there was no lockbox on the cabin only on the garage door. We had to call owner with no luck, we then emailed them. There indeed was no lockbox on the door the is an electric code built into the lock on the side door, you can’t see it unless u tap it to light up. After 20 mins of searching and fiddling around with the lockbox on the garage, I finally emailed the owner. Instructions were incorrect so it was very frustrating

We really enjoyed staying at this house. It was very clean and had all the comforts of home. The location was perfect for our needs, golfing and eating out in the evenings. The host was very quick to respond. We will stay here again.

Nice place
In general the house was clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The cabinets were cluttered and disorganized however. This made it tricky to cook and we never did find a blow comb only attachments!

It was ok
It was ok for what was needed. The trip was mainly to visit the trolls so we were not there much but it was a nice place to be after our troll hunt.

It's a beautiful property and well kept, but the entrance instructions were not clear - it's a digital dead bolt instead of a lock box and you need to press the padlock icon after entering the code, which was not explained in the entrance instructions.

Lake Melissa
We really enjoyed our stay at the property. The inside was roomy and comfortable and it was a great location. We hope to stay there again. The only problem was the back yard had really long grass and should have been mowed. There were cobwebs all over the fence and on the outside of back door and lights. There was a huge hole that wasn't covered in the back yard (leading into a basement?) and could have been a problem for kids and dogs. It was almost like the back yard was forgotten in preparation for a stay. There wasn't an umbrella on the outside table in front and due to the hot weather it would have been nice to have one. Even though the outside was not together, we did enjoy our stay and would definitely stay again and refer others to the property. Thank you.

Average Stay
It was a good property for our group as we did not spend much time there, only to sleep. There was a bad smell like cat litter that went throughout the house and we could not get rid of it. Also, you should bring your own towels as the towels provided smell and are thin/very cheap.

Hidden gem!
Impressive getaway that will spoil even the most difficult skeptics. The pictures are accurate and the details are worth a 5 star review. It is difficult to find a rental that is clean, nicely decorated and has all the comforts of home. It is a beautiful lake rental that won't disappoint. The lake is only a short walk away. The neighbors are very friendly, yet keep to themselves. The home has all the essentials so you barely need much more than your clothes and, of course, whatever food you care to have on hand. Rarely do I leave reviews, but this hidden gem deserved a thumbs up.
