Great place!

Property is spacious and stocked well. I brought a few items that usually aren't at VRBOs and they were all there. The owner was incredibly kind. We hop we can stay there again.

Wedding Weekend

The Elysian area is beautiful. This was a large house on a lake and gave us the chance to have good quality time together, make breakfasts together, etc. House is larger than it appears from the outside. The new Wi-Fi there was superfast, so good connectivity. We had a good time with family!

Great location

The house had plenty of room for me and my 8 friends (and 5 bathrooms helps a lot). The lot is semi-secluded with a big yard on the lake. This was the second time we have stayed there and will definitely be going back.

Family vacation

We had a great time at the lake house. We had plenty of room-bedrooms & bathrooms. The lake was nice for fishing but a bit weedy for swimming close to the shore line. The yard could use a bit of maintenance-but we were not particular and it had rained the majority of the summer. Overall I would highly recommend.

Great Weekend

The house on Lake Francis was perfect for our large family. The proximity from the house to the lake was ideal. We rented the pontoon and the lake was great for fishing. Would stay again!

Good time in Elysian

Great place for a group hangout. Most of the bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms which was great for the "own space" feel. The flat back yard surrounded by trees made the time spent out there enjoyable even with higher temperatures and few clouds.

Annual Family Vacation

Enjoyed our change in venue for our annual family vacation with kids and grand-kids. House worked out great with plenty of room and the beach was great for the little ones. Felt dock could be improved and more water activities for the older kids (movable dock or lily-pad) due to the shallowness of the lake. Overall a good time had by all.

Lake Francis house

This was a quiet clean relaxing place. Just what we needed while attending a family member in hospice. We highly recommend this home away for any guests looking for peace and quiet, enjoying nature, and having a lot of room to spread out and live. Stay off your devices and look at the lake!

Family Gathering

It is a very nice house in a great location. On the north end of the lake with one house on the east side and woods on the west. Very private part of the lake. The lake was very nice, one of the best lakes for water quality in the area. Fishing was good for bass, northern and panfish. Already rented it again for next year.

Beautiful layout for a large group

Needs a good cleaning. Updated, more comfortable furniture and beds. I feel like we should be refunded our cleaning fee because before using the refrigerator and bathrooms we needed to clean them. This is a nice house and nice layout for a large group, but really needs cleaning and updating.

Not exactly what we were expecting for the price charged

We are veterans at renting houses so we have have had a lot of prior rentals to compare this property too. Pros: The house is spacious and set in a peaceful location over the lake plenty of bathrooms the lake is beautiful and we enjoyed taking the pontoon boat out everyday (not included in the basic rental) The owner seemed nice enough and checked in with us via text from time to time it was great to observe all the wildlife from the deck Cons: In general, we felt that the property was overpriced compared to other houses we have rented. Beds were uncomfortable. No separate climate controls for downstairs so it was 10 degrees colder down there at all times--not comfortable! The internet was limited--which should have been advertized--we had a few disappointed young adults who were frustrated by the imposed limit--as a consequence, they had something less than a wonderful time. There was a nasty sulfur smell from the well water and the Brita filter on the kitchen tap was expired. There was construction next door which woke us up early several of the days we stayed there. Very irritating and not conducive to a restful stay at all. The blinds in the two downstairs were in poor repair and we were unable to block light sufficiently to not be awakened at first light. Several of the rooms had overhead lighting only which is less than ideal. A few bedside/ table lamps would have been nice Despite the sizable cleaning fee, the house had dirt and dust in a few places although in general it wasn't too bad in most of the house. The general state of maintenance seemed poor--there were shims over the living room picture window that seemed very DIY/ doors to the patio/deck and the downstairs bedroom were broken and either difficult to close or impossible to lock/ some of the plumbing was improperly installed--again, DIY. One towel per person seemed really chintzy for a rental of this price and the bed covers seemed thin and cheap. The dishwasher did not work. There were no instructions as to where to pontoon key was, how to operate the boat or the lift although we did figure everything out eventually. All in all, though there were reasons to commend the house, we did not feel we got our money's worth and would not recommend at the price we paid.

Very enjoyable!

This house is perfect if you’re just wanting to relax with plenty of space! The view is spectacular! We loved having the canoes and paddles provided in our stay. It’s well-stocked and nicely furnished.
