Rating 3.5/5
Short version: Although some aspects were disappointing, I would be willing to recommend staying there to others.
Details:
We had 4 adults and 2 young kids (2nd grader and Kindergartener) stay in early July for 4 nights.
Cabin – 4/5: The cabin had a nice kitchen and excellent outdoor deck with plenty of seating. The main upstairs bedroom was very nice. The downstairs bedroom was okay – but only had one small window which meant that it got stuffy in the room (as we had to keep the door closed since its door led directly into the kitchen/living room area). The other upstairs bed was in an adjacent room to the main bedroom, but be aware that you need to walk through it to get to said main bedroom. There is air conditioning on each floor (mini-split system upstairs, portable downstairs). It was cool most of the week we were there, so we didn’t test the A/C too much, but the one evening we did use it, it seemed fine.
Property Specific Amenities – 5/5: The kayaks, grill, and fireplace were great! Easily the best part of the rental for the adults in my group.
Community Shared Amenities – 1/5: Unfortunately, the pool was still closed for most of our stay (or maybe all of it as we weren’t ever informed if it opened). This was disappointing as it was a main feature that led me to rent the property. While there are beaches at both lakes, the Grass Lake beach is not worth talking about (unless you want to introduce your children to leeches :) ) and the Clearwater Lake beach, while better, was covered with more trash than we would have liked.
Hosts – 4/5: No major complaints about the hosts. They left fairly clear instructions for check-out, but otherwise respected our privacy. I left some suggestions with them, but they are easy to fix.
