The location was good but the house and many aspects of it were janky.

Despite the inaccuracy of what was available and what worked, we had a wonderful time.

It is a lovely home and for the most part it was a great stay. However, the pictures that lured us were inaccurate. Our first impression from the outside was that it was left dirty. A tray full of cigarette buts floating in brown water was not welcoming. The outdoor furniture needs new cushions. They were very dirty and wet. This outdoor area looked lovely in the photos but was not so in person. The outdoor string lights do not work, and I imagine maybe not for some time. Again, the images on the site were not what we arrived to. These were the things we were looking forward to. Inside the house was nice and for the most part clean. but there were the sliding doors that were smeared and dirty. Some with no screens. And the tracks in the downstairs bedroom were crusted with dirt and leaves. Neither fireplace worked. The range had an uneven flame that was dangerous. The washer had no spin cycle. Beds had no top sheet, which in our time of covid felt unsanitary. The table in the dining area was extremely tacky and felt icky. I feel you are willing to pay for what you perceive to be accurate in what you see in the photos and what is listed as features and amenities. You should get what you pay for. I do not feel we got what we paid for. I did reach out to the host, but he never did get back to me. I did a bit of deck cleaning. Had to dry out the cushions that were soaked through, and though dry, were still dirty. The land and the water were the saving grace.

Renter beware

Lack of communication with owner was atrocious. Was supposed to have access to community pool but did not. Was listed in the description when I called VRBO to complain, it had been deleted. Owner removed a picture of the community pool as well as amenities included said "pool". Contacted owner several times and he never responded throughout the whole trip. I have rented many properties over the years through this site and never had a problem. I wonder if there was an emergency, who I would have contacted. Simply for that reason I would never say at this place again and would not recommend it. They were a few small problems but the lack of communication is completely unacceptable and I was not given what was promised. My grandchildren were heartbroken that they could not go to the pool. I would never have rented this home if I knew I could not use the pool. I have submitted a complaint against this owner through VRBO so he cannot list his property on their site

Nice spot for long weekend

House met all of our needs for a quiet, convenient stay while we attended a wedding. Clean but a little dusty in spots. Perhaps we were first renters of the season.

Lovely spot on Sleepy Hollow Lake

Nice house and lovely spot for family get together in the area. Loved the open main area, wooden table and beams, open & clean kitchen, & downstairs beds with firm mattresses just how we like. Minor recommendation to put non-skid pads on floor in 1st floor master bedroom shower - it was slippery. Shampoo & shower soap were only in hallway bathroom anyway, so we used that (and it also had a safety rail, safer for the seniors among our group!). Also I would take bikes off the listing - the pedals are broken and they are unusable.

Excellent location to nearby towns and sightseeing. Clean recently renovated lakefront home with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths with showers. Owner was easy to contact and responded quickly. We made some minor suggestions to the owner to enhance the experience. Would consider returning in the future.
