Family Christmas
We had a wonderful stay celebrating our family Christmas. There were beds for everyone and enough room so that we could be all together or separate. Although the weather didn't cooperate completely the house and property were perfect for us and we all had a great time. Many memories were made.

Onalaska Lighthouse Landing
Overall we enjoyed our stay very much. Loved the space – although having the only access to the gameroom being through the master bedroom or from outside, as well has having the only way to get from the top floor to the ground floor by going outside was awkward. The weather was cold and wet most of Sunday so that wasn’t very pleasant. The house was very clean and stocked as promised, so that was very nice. The furniture was in good shape and clean. The outdoor space is amazing – however, the boat house is in disrepair and we did not feel comfortable having the children out there. There are a lot of maintenance issues (driveway gate not operable in quite some time, no hot water to two of the bathrooms, upstairs stove stopped working, downstairs dishwasher did not work, some of the exterior locks did not work, etc.) Gameroom was large and had a lot of promise, but half the arcade games did not work, there was no ping pong equipment, no air hocky puck, etc so most of it was unusable and not what was advertised. We also see that a lot of these issues were repeatedly noted in 2024 reviews and were not addressed.

A Little Piece of Texas Heaven!
We did our corporate retreat at this house and really enjoyed it. The home is very spacious and clean, and being right on the water was excellent! The sunsets in the evening could not be beat! The host was amazing at responding quickly to any of our questions or needs and we would recommend staying at this location.

This house is crazy nice!
Some friends and I decided to take a short trip to the lake and rented this home. Boy we were not disappointed! This house looked just like the pictures and is even larger than it looks in the pictures. So much space to spread out and enjoy and the view from the dock onto the lake was so peaceful. Just such a cool house!
