Great for a group with kids (or not)
Overall this was a great place to stay. We had a group of 3 families - 6 adults and 5 kids (2-6 years old). It was a spacious place for the kids to play. I could also see this as a good place for a large family gathering. Nothing in the house is brand new or top end, but I wouldn't expect that when I was renting it. Pros: -There was a sledding hill just a short walk up the hill to a large open park area. I didn't see any sleds at the house, so plan ahead a bring your own in case. -All of the appliances worked well -The hot tub was nice and well kept. -The pool table was nice, it works and is in relatively good shape for an in home pool table, does have a slight break to it. -The ping pong table works well, but don't lean on one side as it is a little unstable. -Hot water was not an issue for us (as in other reviews). I know the house has a tankless water heater. -We brought extra towels based on previous reviews, really. Needed them for hot tub use. Cons: -Utensils. There weren't enough. I wouldn't care that much, but it was in other reviews and probably costs $10-20 to fix. We counted 7 forks. Amazon or even Goodwill? -Beds - The mattress in the master is a 10/10 firmness, hopefully they get a new one, but bring a topper if you can. -Remotes - There were 5 remotes sitting in front of the main TV, but the one that worked was in the couch cushions... -The TV in front of the PingPong table was useless. It turned on, but isn't Smart and not connected to anything.

Lots of small issues
The good: 1. Great location. Large lot next to is with snow and hill kids could sled on 2. Lots of rooms and places to sleep 3. Large dining table and lots of seating around common area The Bad: 1. Roads leading to the place are steep and icy. Was not plowed. Saw a couple cars get stuck and one slipping backwards. We were advised by a tow company that this is common occurrence on Payne st. 2. Hot water randomly turned off in upstairs common shower. Sometimes didn’t work at all. Master shower was either cold or with a small adjustment very hot. No in between. 3. Pots and pans are old and dirty 4. Fridge is on its last legs. Barely cold despite turning down to collect setting. 5. Pool table is very bad shape. Side bumpers are torn up and warped. Disappointing because it was a big reason we chose the place.

I can’t believe there are not more negative reviews…
I am shocked that there isn’t more negative reviews about this property. This house is supposed to sleep 15 people but there are only three bathrooms and most of the time only 2 of them worked. All of the beds but one feel like you are sleeping on bricks. So uncomfortable and very little bedding on each bed. The hot water tank works so poorly that most people had to take freezing cold showers in 20 degree weather. The house was not as nice as the photos, as there were damaged blinds, a hole in the couch, old shampoo bottles, etc. When we first arrived the bathroom wasn’t working, tvs wouldn’t turn on, and the smoke alarm wouldn’t stop beeping. It was a nightmare to walk into. We paid a lot of money to rent this for three nights and could have saved money and stayed at a hotel where basically needs would have been met. The property manager Alicia was very kind about the situation and even dropped off an air mattress, blankets, and wine to make up for the inconvenience. While we were happy with her going out of her way, the overall experience was not something that VRBO should allow. Owners of the homes should disclose things like a broken bathroom and bad water tank. Anyways, overall good location but would not recommend!

43rd Bday getaway time put the jet Ali’s on the lake
Had a great time, 3 different families getting together to enjoy the lake and get away from the city grind. The kids were downstairs playing in the game room, nice hot tub, with a old raggedy cover, that needs to be replaced. But the hot tub worked, great sunset views off the deck. Super chill set up.

Beautiful Fall Stay
The property was exactly as described. We truly enjoyed our stay! This was the second year in a row that we used this property. The property service was easy to work with, very flexible to our check in needs and responsive as needed. Highly recommend this property!

Amazing A++
Big Bear Services went above and beyond to take care of us. Very friendly and would respond very quickly to any and all questions. Would highly recommend and will definitely visit again. The massive living room was perfect for our large group to be together. The jacuzzi was hot and very clean. Kitchen worked perfect and had everything we needed to cook. Fyi. The street to the home is pretty steep. They plow it in the mornings, but it snowed heavy one day. Two of our 2-wheel drive sedans with chains got stuck and couldn’t make it up. One 4-wheel drive tacoma with decent tread and no chains made it up fine. So did a 2-wheel drive tundra with chains.

The property was gorgeous, inside and outside, Cody, our host, was amazing, helpful, and welcoming
The house was nice and spacious, however, the house was not fully equipped to 16 people to utilize. For example, there were only few bath towels and handful of hand towels instead of 14-16. Bathrooms were not stocked with soap and toilet papers, we had to buy our own, although we paid almost $1800 per family for the duration of our stay which was 3 days. Doors to rooms and bathrooms made lots of noises which was annoying to people who were sleeping. No broom, or vacuum if you spilled something or the floor got dirty. No cleaning detergents and many kitchen items were missing. Too much money for 3 nights and we had to buy most of the house items :(
