Overall, we enjoyed the stay. The place is a little rundown and dated. The fireplace was cool and worked very well. We enjoyed hanging out at the island and playing games. A few cobwebs here and there. But overall pretty clean.

Lakefront getaway
Lake front, beautiful views and spacious. My husband, 2 dogs, and myself stayed a night. The property is dusty/cobwebs in fans, window, etc. bedroom/bedding were clean, bathrooms were spotless. The only real downside was we could not use the lake as there was a cyanobacteria warning. If you plan on bringing pets, highly recommend doing your research before booking.

Home on locke lake
We must say this was a great experience. It was our family vacation for the year and it met all our needs. There could be a few updates that would have made it perfect. Ex. Fix light bulbs. Our dog loved the yard and was thrilled to experience swimming in the lake. The home was located in a private peaceful area. We enjoyed kayaking and exploring the area. All and all it was a wonderful choice and we would certainly like to enjoy this home again for our family’s vacation next year.

Comfortable lakeside stay
The location is, as advertised, right on Locke Lake which is a quiet community. House was clean when we arrived. Fresh linens were also provided. Comfortable beds! The house has only one shower. Great stay!

Perfect location, poorly maintained
Run down outside and in. Dirty inside from poor cleaning and neglect. Cobwebs years in the making mixed with spider webs in windows. Couches had sand on them. Musty main bedroom had a dehumidifier but didn’t work.

Beautiful home but had it's issues..
Overall this home is so beautiful and the view of the lake was awesome! But the house needs a major deep cleaning and the furniture isn't all that great. The bed on the main floor was not very supportive for my dad, the love seat in the living area was broken on one side, & there wasn't enough furniture outside. There is a bedroom in the basement which is mostly remodeled but the musty smell was overwhelming. I had to buy a candle & have it lit for a few hours before I went to bed down there. This house didn't feel homey at all and I wouldn't stay here again. It's unfortunate because this house has so much potential. Your better off staying elsewhere.

Needs Help
It needs a lot of TLC. Entry Doors open hard. Very Poor lighting . Kitchen cabinets very messy. a Smells down stairs . cobwebs everywhere .The first floor bed mattress needs to be replaced. Springs coming right through. The closets were cluttered with items not needed….and the lake was full of germs Glad our children wasn't with us. It would have been a unhappy week for them and us We should have been informed of this lake situation. In all fairness we should be reimbursed half of our money. When two of us arrived-they couldn't get in. they thought they had wrong code-so they waited for us an half hour. we couldn',t get in either. So after another half hour of trying-we made a call. Just not fair when u wait all year for a weeks vacation. This was the worst cottage and surrounds in ten years we have rented. the pics on the cumputer are made to make the cottage look so special. Let us know how your company feels about this review Also we had company and they said we should had been informed about the lake. It would be best if u didn't say to us u didn't know about the lake. Because we feel that 's your business and you need to be upfront and honest! We will expect a partial refund.

old
Needs some updating, the screen doors were so old you could hardly open them. No glasses or even plastic glasses, coffee mugs only. Just not what I was expecting based on previous rentals. Call Vacasa the first day and someone was going to get back to me and never did. It was 90 degrees and there were no outside trash barrels. We had keep the trash in the house and it was no pleasant. Very disappointed that some of the issues were not addressed before VRBO puts the rental out there.

Disappointed
When we arrived, the house hadn't been cleaned since the previous tenants left. Over the following days, we were disappointed to find no internet, a kitchen without glassware (plenty of mugs, though), running toilets, a goose-poop covered backyard strewn with sodden towels, torn and broken screen doors, broken chairs, broken light fixtures, and more. The Vacasa support phone line and text were slow and difficult to navigate. While the house cleaner and tech guy I eventually spoke with were both very nice, it couldn't make up for my embarrassment for bringing my mom to such a neglected space. The upsides: the lake is beautiful and the hanging fire place was fun to use.

Bad service
When I go out there, the cleaning people were still there when I was supposed to check in at four and it was 515. The screen door to get in the front you couldn’t even open it. It wasn’t off the hook. It was broken and the bottom of it had a completely open screen so all the bugs could get in. I called the Vacasa number and spoke to somebody because it’s hot and there’s no air-conditioning. They said they would have somebody come and repair it or replace it and nobody came. I stayed there for five nights like that I will not be doing business again with them.
