PROS
Nice big house on the lake with dock.
Well appointed with appliances, dishes, utensils, glassware and linens
Comfortable pillow top mattresses
Large master suite with beautiful view
Lots of recreational equipment incl canoe, paddle boards, fishing poles
Fun fishing for small bass
With one exception, house is well suited for large family group
CONS
Had to have overloaded septic system serviced on our second to last day.
According to septic service company, system designed for 360 gallons/day for a 3 bedroom home serving 4-5 people; not adequate for 10 guests as advertised. We were a family group of 8 using facilities normally.
Encountered multiple mice and employed the four provided traps without success using peanut butter
Mouse dropping in cabinets and a drawer where mice used paper napkins for nesting material
Master bathroom not cleaned
CONCLUSION
On balance we had a wonderful time and would readily recommend the house for a delightful lakeside vacation but would hope the shortcomings are resolved.
Mice are to be expected in a rural setting and didn’t bother us too much. However given their expected presence, the house should be cleaned with that in mind.
The owner and Vacasa/VRBO should figure out how to manage the septic limitation, or inform guests, accordingly.
