Good ice fishing! Love the heated tile! 6 guys, all over 50 had a great stay! Having the driveway plowed and sanded was super nice for access! Thank you… took us a while to figure out light switches (might install small labels?). Of course we are all over 50! 😂 awesome place!

Great winter getaway!
My family and I rented this house for new years weekend. Great communication with the property owner, and was allowed to check in a few hours early! The view of the lake is beautiful! Close to town and restaurants, about a 10 minute drive. The house is huge, with plenty of sleeping space and restrooms. Overall, a great experience!

So Accomodating!
We were unable to make our trip due to a change in family plans last minute, however our experiene leading up to the stay is worth the review! We were able to drive by & check it out a few weeks prior. The premises are wonderful! Circle deiveway, outdoor activities, INCREDIBLE view of the Lake, everything needed to accomodate for a large family gathering (which we will be returning for in Spring)! The owner had the driveway plowed & home ready for our arrival. So understanding with our situation & was prompt to respond to all of my questions. We can't wait till next year where we can share our experience of actually staying!!

This was the most amazing house, property, and view! It was better than we could have hoped for!
We stayed here as a staff retreat with spouses for 3 nights. The owner was fantastic to communicate with. The property and house were more beautiful than the pictures can explain. The area was incredibly quiet and also amazing! All in all, every aspect of our stay was better than we could have hoped for! I would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone considering staying and I will be using it again!

Beautiful views, spacious house
My family and I stayed at Sharlene’s place for a family reunion/memorial for my grandfather who owned a ranch for 40 years in the nearby town of Malo. The location of the house was perfect for our visit and to relive some of our memories of the area. We really enjoyed the property, it has beautiful views, especially from any of the three terraces on the house that face the lake. Sharlene made sure we knew about all of the activities that were available to us and always responded to our questions in a timely manner. I don’t know if we’ll ever come back to the area but everyone in our group agreed that we would stay at this house again.

family reunion
Our visit to Curlew lake worked out just right. We had 5 adults and 4 children (8-12). Mainly just slept in the house as my sister owns a house just 2 miles away. We did enjoy very much the kayaks that were on the trailer because we were able to transport them to my sister's beach. Did find path to lake from house but was rather steep in places. Thanks to previous review we did stock up on water and with the multiple refrigerators could keep it cold. Only negative thing I can say about house was there was just a little too much clutter for my taste.

We had so much fun at this house!
What a stunning location! Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own space. We played horseshoes, badminton, pingpong, went for a lovely walk along the trestle across the lake. Deer walk through the yard throughout the day. What a great place to spend time with a fun-loving family.

Family Gathering
For the most part, we had a lovely stay in this house. Everything was set up for us that we needed and did not want for much. The goat-trail down to the kayaks was steeper than we anticipated and was difficult for everybody to maneuver, but most of us were fine. The main thing I had not noticed anybody talk about was the sulfur content of the well water; it was quite pungent and most of our group was unable to drink it comfortably. We knew Republic was an old mining town and had heard of water issues from an environmental engineer that works in the area, but we failed to ask sufficient questions. We did find water at the local co-op relatively inexpensively and that made the rest of first day much better. That said, the host was very quick to respond to any queries we had and gave many tips of what to do in the area. We would absolutely consider coming back again, this time with water in hand.

Perfect for our family reunion!
The property is beautiful! My favorite feature is the beautiful light, tall painted ceilings, and balconies and views. The aspen leaves outside some of the window were mesmerizing. We stayed here for a family reunion and there was plenty for everyone to do. We enjoyed kayaking, swimming, badminton, ping pong, and roasting marshmallows in the fire pit. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with essentials. Two refrigerators helped store all our food, and there was plenty of space for over a dozen people to enjoy each other’s company. Air conditioning worked well and we were able to access free an open network WIFI. The beds were comfortable, and I especially appreciated the crisp cotton sheets. The owner was always available, very helpful and kind. Some things you should be aware of (I knew to expect them from previous reviews) 1. The property has four bedrooms two full bathrooms and an extra powder room/toilet on the main level. The master suite is actually a beautiful loft upstairs with a queen bed and a twin bed. It is completely open concept. The is a toilet, sink, and a tub are in a large nook in the corner but *they are mostly out in the open*. There is a free standing dressing divider that we put in front of the toilet, but even so, no one felt comfortable using those facilities. If you sleep in the loft, you will hear everything that goes on in the main floor, and those in the main floor will hear you. 2. It’s not perfect for everyone. I would not feel comfortable having a toddles, someone with mobility challenges, or someone with severe allergies in this property. The home is decorated with many antiques, collectibles, and live plants. One of the plants was flowering and shedding and had an unpleasant odor. There are a lot of stairs and uneven ground outside for accessing all the extra activities. The foot path leading to the private dock with the kayaks is narrow and rugged. While my 72-year-old dad was able to use it, I found some difficulty with the uneven terrain. 3. Everyone who swam in the lake got swimmers itch. Like the rugged terrain, this isn’t something the owner can control. If you swim in the lake on a warm day be sure to rinse off and towel dry immediately. We made the mistake of sun bathing in the nearby public beach, unknowingly making ourselves more susceptible to the burrowing wrigglers. Overall I’m delighted to have found this place and would happily return.

Strong positives and a few negatives
The view is stunning from the house. Beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is large with good counter space. The outdoor space is very nice and there is a wonderful fire pit. The walk to the trestle for hiking, fishing or biking is very handy so we liked the location. The walk to the kayaks on the lake could be tricky for many because it’s steep but the kayaks are available. I would have preferred a much simpler, less decorated environment. The house has an open floor plan so you need to be okay with possible noise. I would really prefer window screens so you could open windows. The owner was always very helpful.

Fishing trip with sons and grandsons
The house was in a nice location with a great view. It was close to a great fishing spot that could be walked to. We had a larger group that filled all the beds. The upstairs area is wide open so the bed and bathroom there could be a problem for groups that could have privacy issues. We enjoyed using the ping pong table and horse shoe pit. This was a nice upgrade from the fishing cabins we rented last year.
