I will list out the Pro's and Con's
Pro's
1. The pictures of the listing are accurate and we loved the location of! It's about a 20 minute drive from Coeur D'Alene and there is a handy little gas station/market about a mile away
2. The upstairs bed is super comfy!
3. The kitchen is well appointed with all the utensils one should need to cook and clean (provided the utensils are clean...refer to Con)
4. The private dock is excellent! We spent quite a bit of time down by the lake on the dock and utilized the kayaks to go out and about in the cove!
Cons
1. Check in was a bit of a fiasco. I called the mgmt. company (Vacasa) and requested an early check in. I was denied and told that the cleaners were still in the home. Well...that was a big lie because when we showed up at 4:30 the entire home had yet to be cleaned!! Literally trash not taken out, dirty sheets and towels everywhere on the floor. Countertops not cleaned. We called Vacasa and they were very nice and apologetic and got a cleaner to come out asap but that process consisted of having to wash all of the sheets and towels so she wasn't gone until about 7:30. We hung out on the dock which was fine but needless to say that was a terrible first impression and if the weather wasn't good we would have been stuck in the house with a cleaner cleaning.
2. The water pressure is absolutely awful in the upstairs bathroom. And when I say awful I mean almost so bad that you can't even wash soap off.
3. A lot of the utensils that we used were obviously not cleaned well. Prior food still stuck on spatula's, forks, knives, etc. etc.
Additional
1. There is a small shed on the boat dock that the owners were kind enough to leave open. There are floaties, fishing rods, chairs, etc. The fishing rods don't have reels that work but we still managed to rig them up and caught a few fish. Most of the other supplies are worn and need replacing but generally storage places like these are locked and for owners only so it was nice to be able to use what we could.
2. I left my Ipad and a Bose headphone at the lodge when we left. Vacasa was able to send someone out there to get them and ship them to me. The process took a while but I was thankful to get the items back.
3. All in all it's a great place. It just needs more attention to detail. The people at Vacasa are friendly but if i were the owner I would be seeking new mgmt. or at minimum having a stern conversation with them
