Relaxing lake house experience with no neighbours
We enjoyed our 10 day stay on Garrison Lake. We were fortunate to be there after a rainy season and easily paddled through the lake and down the salmon river. There were a handful of other paddlers on the lake, but often we were the only ones out there — in the height of summer.
The stairs to the dock are exactly as pictured, and straight off the house’s deck. While I didn’t go in the hot tub, it’s also right there off the other side of the deck.
House is equipped with everything you need and then some — convection oven, dishwasher, etc. Appliances are new and work well. We struggled with the plumbing the upstairs toilet was slow to refill and shower pressure minimal and the downstairs shower was very slow to drain. We went with a rinse off only vacation policy.
AC worked well, but there are lots of windows to catch the cross breeze. Not needed except on the hottest of days.
The property is not located within the circle shown in VRBO. I’ve never had that happen before. It is off highway 7, which I wish I’d known before renting. That said, you cannot hear the highway from the house; you can hear it from the deck when there’s no wind; you can consistently hear it on the lake. It’s not disruptive, but it’s a steady hum. I could hear it well down the Salmon river, so expect it’s true for all properties in the area.
All in all we would love to revisit.
