Waterfront Lake Bridgeport Haven w/ Boat Slip!

Reviews

• 3/5

  We were looking for a fun place to stay for a girls weekend away and this fit the bill! The house was pretty clean. Downstairs there is a full-size bed across the hall from a full bath. Upstairs there is one full-size bath. There are two bedrooms with full beds (one has a twin daybed). and then there is a bunk room with a total of five twin size beds. So there are plenty of places to sleep! The kitchen was pretty well-stocked for a rental property. The one thing that was lacking was that the icemaker did not work, and there was no blender. We had planned on making frozen margaritas one night. Also, there is not a dishwasher so consider that and taking paper plates and plastic utensils for less cleanup. There were tons of dishes, not a whole lot of glasses though.The view was great! It is a steep walk down to the dock. The lights on the dock were not working, or at least we could not figure out how to make them come on. The campfire area had four seats, we wished there were two more for our group of six adults. But there was plenty of firewood cut and ready to use which we appreciated. Also the gas grill had plenty of propane takes for back up which is not always included in rentals so we also liked that.The surrounding area is a little mismatched. On one side you have a very nice brick home, and on the other side you have a run down trailer home. We never saw anybody around though.Another thing is when you are leaving there is a list of things that need to be done upon exit. Stripping beds, washing dishes, taking out trash and bringing towels to the laundry room. Not super difficult to do, but it doesn’t make sense to have to do these things when there is a cleaning fee. Overall, a wonderful experience and would go back.

  Nice lake cabin. Missing basic amenities likeShower suppliesHair dryerTrash bagsFoil/parchment paperOnly 2 wine glasses Water pressure was really low and not enough hot water for everyone staying.

• Quaint house on Lake Bridgeport

  3/5

  I own a home on Lake Bridgeport that is currently being redone. For the family holiday, we rented this home to be with the rest of our family. If you choose to come to Lake Bridgeport for vacation, be sure to thoroughly read all of the comments on this property as I found them to be very accurate. The home was clean (unlike some reviews found) and looked like the pictures. It does sleep 12-13 comfortably. The surrounding area is eclectic, at best, with some beautiful homes and some run down homes. Of particular note, this property is quite a distance off of the main road so count that into your travel time. The dock is incredibly steep path and leaving your boat in the slip is available but the waters are rocky and beat our boat up. Although this house advertises housing many people, the kitchen is not up to the task of cooking for all of those people. Pots and pans, cooking utensils etc. are not sufficient to cook for many people. In addition, I had to buy things like sharp knives, ziploc bags, trash bags, aluminum foil, basic condiments/spices etc. I also have rental property and I realize that owners do not have to provide these items; however, it should be made clear to renters that you will have to buy or bring these items with you. Additionally, there is NO dishwasher which seems crazy given the nightly price. All in all, very disappointed with the kitchen and future renters should be prepared. My family had a nice time but I think that the owners could make some improvements that would make a nicer time for all —
