Out the sliding glass doors is a large deck with spectacular views of the lake and a brand new Hot Tub! The spacious gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with all of the essentials for cooking including cookware, high-end appliances, and breakfast bar seating.

Comfortable beds
Overall it was fine. The property mgr was so kind and easy to work with. The beds were very comfortable and there is lots of space so it worked for our needs. We paid a lot of money for a view and there are 12 big windows for just that, however 8 of them (the biggest ones) were completely fogged and clearly have been for a long time, so you could not see through them and add to it , every window sill, the balcony and the front entrance /light were covered in cobwebs(including the dining room chandelier and kitchen sink ) This home must have its windows replaced as it takes away from the high costs of a view of the marina . The pots and pans are so old, dented and scratched up that it was hard to cook. I am usually generous with 5 stars but the poor condition of the windows, cooking pans and cobwebs really disappointed myself and my guests and completely took away the good feeling of the beds and large space . Owner has some work ahead of them before this should be rented out again in my opinion

Great potential, but disappointed
When we arrived, the person cleaning was just finishing (1 person for this very large property). I asked her to stay while I did a really quick run through, which she kindly obliged. It looked ok so we unloaded and started to get settled. Unfortunately, as we began to settle in and use the property, we found several things that caused this property to be less than great. 1) Not enough towels per bathroom (1 hand towel/2 people??) nor towel racks to hang towels on. 2) The towel rack in the queen bedroom, bath upstairs is bent as someone must have used it as a handle. 3) A screen door (one on the left when facing the deck from the living room) was ripped out at the bottom. 4) The carpet, in a word, is horrible. After we opened the curtains and blinds and let light in, it was readily apparent that this carpet was well used. It is pretty disgusting to be frank and we spent more than an hour or so spot cleaning it ourselves just so it was more pleasant. 5) The mattresses were so used that they dipped in the middle and were incredibly uncomfortable, in the queen room upstairs and the master down stairs. I ended up sleeping on the couch one night and eventually moved to the other queen downstairs and my husband stayed alone in the queen upstairs and slept diagonally so he didn't roll into the middle. 6) When starting to cook breakfast on the first morning, I pulled out 3 pans that had severely caked on egg and one pan that was dirty with heavy grease. Disgusting. I assume what happened is some prior guests put unrinsed pans in the DW, ran it and left and housekeeping simply unloaded without paying any attention as to whether the pans were actually cleaned. It was pretty bad. I scrubbed them all clean, so we wouldn't get charged for leaving unclean dishes. 7) Light bulb above stove top, under microwave, not working. Not a huge thing, but just one more thing that could be easily corrected. 8) The house got SUPER HOT during the day, with the south facing windows. Not something that can be easily corrected I understand, but it was pretty uncomfortable on the main level during the day. 9) The shower and sink drains in the upstairs queen BR-bath, did not drain well and would fill during shower and/or washing at sink. 10) No A/C. The kitchen very well appointed. The pool table was great. Location was nice and the downstairs deck was nice since it was covered so much cooler.

Overall, we had a blast!
We had a few snags communicating with the property management team, (they told me incorrect info for check in, they also said that bikes were available at the property when there are no bikes there and initially they wouldn't give us additional towels when we requested some... there was only one kitchen towel for our week stay), but once all of that was resolved, we had a blast. The property and location are beautiful. It accommodated the 8 of us perfectly.. the teens, parents and grandparents all loved the rental. The only other thing that's weird about the rental is they only provided 4 coffee mugs... we had 6 adults who all wanted coffee in the morning... so we ended up buying Big Bear mugs in town.. but honestly the management team should have provided them (but after the rocky start, I didn't want to bother them). Anyway, despite the few snags and lack of mugs, we were all very happy with the rental and would stay there again!

Roomy, great location/balconies. Property manager stepped up.
We had an awesome time at this property just because of its great location and nice views of the lake and marina from the 2 balconies. Plus it was very roomy and very livable for 11 people, which included 5 kids. Having said that, we did notice many items needing repair when we got there. This ended up upsetting us a bit, especially considering we spent a premium price to rent this luxury rental on a holiday weekend. However, WowRentals really stepped up and showed us they were accountable and wanted to do the right thing. They assured us that all repairs we listed would be addressed by maintenance. In addition, they gave us some monetary compensation due to the fact that some items advertised as available at the property were not in full working condition when we stayed there. I’m very impressed with their quick response and true desire to make the property as good as it should be (and as advertised). I always want to applaud anyone who will stand behind their product and correct anything not right. WowRentals did just that. Because they stepped up and wanted to do the right thing, I give them high kudos and will definitely consider them for rentals in the future.

Overall we had a great time at his property and loved the location. The pictures show a fenced in yard, but that is actually the property next door. We had to leave our dogs on the porch when we were out. Also make sure you bring/purchase coffee mugs because there are only 4! But overall everything was really nice and we would return again.

Great Location!
This property is wonderful. The location is great on a very quiet part of the lake, at least during the winter. Very peaceful and overlooking the Marina. The property is well maintained and they even came to shovel and remove snow in front of our cars. Inside is beautiful and very woodsy feeling with lots of wood accents. It could be appointed better with dish and glass wear but we made it work. Checkin and correspondence when needed with the rental company was very easy and responsive.

A terrific Thanksgiving get away!
We spent the holiday here with 6 adults and 3 kids. It is a terrific property with a large open living area conducive to family meals, games, movies, and hanging out. The neighborhood is on a peninsula so very little traffic and great for walks. The deck overlooks the lake/marina and the big yard fronts the shoreline. A short drive to grocery stores and the Village make this a terrific location. Great communication before and during our stay with the property management company. Definitely would stay here again!
