• Wonderful House with Lots of Cameras

  4/5

  What we loved: This house was a perfect size and location for our family. The creek out back was a wonderful surprise with daily visits from Chelan duck friends. The house was beautiful with peek a boo views of the lake and a short walk to the boat dock. The beds were very comfortable as well and the entire house was very tastefully decorated. The boat slip and lift were amazing! The bunkhouse loft was great for our "kids" who are actually teenagers. After booking the house, I read where "kids" refers to those under the age of 12. The bunks were perfect for teenagers as well as kids under the age of 12 despite what the description states.

  The not so perfect: The house has quite a few cameras and signs reminding guests that they are "being recorded". We felt a bit uncomfortable with that as we sat outside enjoying our family conversation with cameras pointed at us. The house has a water feature that would really add to the experience, however it wasn't working and was covered in algae which brought gnats and things. It seems for what we paid per night, that is something that would be a priority to fix. During out stay, there was a plumbing issue that the manager attempted to resolve, but it took several phone calls to me during our vacation to try to arrange a plumber to come into the house. All plumbing was in working order, but a loud, high pitched sound would result when someone was using water. After being told that the best time was 7:00 am, we told them we would put up with the sound so as not to be interrupted by plumbers at the crack of dawn. I'm sure the issue was resolved shortly after we left.

  All in all it was a great week and we had no intention of doing something that the cameras would "catch us" doing. The house is truly beautiful and when all features are in working order, it will be an amazing rental.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Darla, Thanks for your review - we're glad that overall you & your family enjoyed your stay! The owners wanted to apologize again for the plumbing issue and let you know that the valve causing the issue has been fixed. We hope to have the chance to travel with you again soon!

  Property was everything it was advertised as. Having easy walking access to a private boat dock with a lift was very convenient. Overall it was a very good place to stay. I would have rated it excellent except for a plumbing problem in the house that made a shrill whistle when the water was used. I was disappointed that the issue with the plumbing was not corrected the entire week we were staying there.

• Great house!

  5/5

  This is a great house, recently updated, in a small community with a private boat slip. There is a tiny piece of sandy beach, next to the dock. The house has one master, two smaller bedrooms that share a bathroom and a bonus upstairs with two bunk beds and a sleep sofa. The upstairs is hot and could use a fan, as the A/C doesn't cool it well enough. We loved the house, the beautiful garden (the hose backs to a creek), hope to come back again!
