Enjoy watching the boats go by from the deck or from the amazing Double Decker dock (one slip, two stories with huge deck platform on top). The dock does have additional side wet slips for your personal watercrafts! This rooftop dock is wonderful for sunbathing, relaxing or just watching the amazing views and sunsets! There is a kayak for your enjoyment. Plenty of seating on the top deck as well as a sunshade to escape the rays!

    Perfect!
    The place was so pretty,clean, and just everything it was advertised to be. Hot tub was in a perfect location for the weather on a rainy, cold day to enjoy the view and cover. Parking is tricky if more than one vehicle but we were told in advance. Great experience for sure! Would love to come back in the summer to really enjoy the lake and would pick this place again in a heartbeat!

    House was nice but not for elderly
    Outside stairs were a challenge as was parking. Amenities could have been better. Had family visit and only had 6 glasses Towels in bathroom were horrible. Blanket on guest bedroom bed was holy and nasty. Killed 2 cockroaches and found 3 more dead. The house itself was nice but definitely lacked some extras

    Beautiful lake view
    My husband and I enjoyed our stay with my sister and brother in law and our empty nester dogs. We came down for our nieces wedding at Koury Farms in Auburn. The property is close to restaurants and grocery. The home had a perfect floor plan and some extra necessities that sometimes you forget to pack.. foil, plastic wrap and numerous seasonings.. we were pleased to have a keurig coffee pot, makes it nice for different coffee preferences. As they say, the parking is tricky, but gets better with practice. We would definitely book this property again!

    Cozy stay in a cozy place
    This cottage has a gorgeous view of the lake. The trees and plantings make you feel very private. Loved seeing all the wildlife around the neighborhood. The house was well equipped and tastefully furnished. We really enjoyed all of the artwork. Would definitely stay here again.

    Dirty, run down property
    I have never left a review but this warrants a mention as it was spectacularly bad. A rotten stair collapsed upon our arrival and the other entrance to the property was unstable. This matters because the property is on a steep incline so there is no other way to enter. It was dirty beyond belief: Dirty clothes lying around, rug in a heap on the floor, underwear under the bed, an ashtray full of cigarette butts, dirty sofa cushions, kitchen drain clogged with food scraps, dirty dishcloth, used coffee pod in dirty coffee machine, drain fitting missing in bathroom, used soap, with hair, in the shower, dirty blankets. One night a gas burner on the stove wouldn't turn off so we had to call the manager in to fix it. He actually told us it was likely due to a build up of food and grime. Drawers contained all sorts of things from dirty socks to drug smoking paraphernalia. The AC struggled to work and we were told not to turn it too low as it would ice up. We hadn't, it simply couldn't cope with much. At the very least it needed maintenance and mostly likely, replacing. The vents were so grimy we asked the manager to clean the one blowing air directly onto us. Dirty and rundown inside and out. We stayed because we had a number of functions over a few days and we simply didn't have time to look for an alternative. We 'cleaned as we went'. In fairness, the manager was responsive and polite but the issues shouldn't have existed and it's disappointing that VRBO don't vet properties.
