Reviews of Property: Wake up and be in your boat in two minutes!!!!!!!

This was my first experience with "Home Away" it was a good experience overall with the website as well as the company who helped me book the vacation. The home was good. The pictures are a little out dated from what are posted on the website. It was actually really hard to find as far as the directions I got were not as accurate as it could have been, as well as the house was not marked as obviously as it could have been. We really enjoyed the view of the lake. The house did allow pets, which was AWESOME. We were able to bring our dog, which was really great. The lake was a little farther away that we had anticipated, and it's a man made lake which means there is a rocky drop off to the water, not a nice "shore line". We did everything that was recommended to us: Shaker Village, Old Fort Harrod, The drive in theatre, fishing, etc. It was all very nice and relaxing and really what we wanted.

This is a wonderful property and was everything we were looking for. We kept our boat in the covered slip and fished from the dock. Everyone enjoyed jumping off of the diving platform. Staying in a cabin/house with central air was a huge plus. My favorite was the huge screened-in porch overlooking the lake. Everything was very nice and well-maintained. I would recommend this property to friends and family and we will likely rent it again.

Unfortunately, this experience was the worst vacation get away we have ever experienced. The pictures and the description were very misleading. I do not believe any one even had been to that property for quite some time. The pier and bar were fillthy. The place was a whole mess. No cleaning had been done in a very long time. When we arrived at the front door I knew right then we were in for a long weekend. The front of the house was dirty and full of trash. The lawn had not been cut in weeks. There was laundry left in the dryer, the washer had gross "stuff" on it and so we never even used it. The sink had clean dishes left in it. The stove and oven were so filthy and had not been cleaned in several years and the refrigerator was so old it was not the greatest either. The floors in the kitchen and bathroom, I don't know the last time they had been swept or cleaned. Cobwebs were in the family room not touched for several months. This place was a total cesspool. The bedrooms, I am not quite sure the sheets had been cleaned and the bathroom toilet ran the entire time we were there. The table mid way down that the picture shows, well the cushions were completely ripped up and molded or just plain missing. There were not any steps of any sort to get all the way down to the pier and dock, you had to climb to rocks and work your way down. Once down, the piers were pretty shaky and getting on them was a trick. The dock below had so many filthy, broken chairs which no one could sit on and the bar to try and utilize it was utterly, disgustingly filthy. We had to call them after the first night to come and try and clean up the property a little so we could try and enjoy our time away. I would never recommed this property to anyone. The owners should be paying for us to stay there.

The house is the perfect get-away house. It was quiet and peaceful. It has a wonderful back porch with a table and chairs that overlooks the lake. Beds were comfortable and the living room areas were perfect for visiting and relaxing. The property owners and managers are great to work with. We were there in the fall when the trees were absolutely beautiful but I think it would also be a great summer house when the water would be warmer. Great house!
