Lake Emory getaway
The house was beautiful and very comfortable and had everything we needed. The fishing, on the other hand was not what we expected. We had a 2 to 3 foot section at the bank to fish from. This did not accommodate the 4 people that wanted to fish. It would have been great to have had the yard mowed as well.

Family trip
The house itself is very pretty. The kitchen is big and well stocked with dishes and utensils. Parking is ample. However, the house was not clean. None of the rugs appeared to have been vaccumed, the downstairs shower liner and curtain are moldy and have yellow water stains. The shower has rust spots on every shelf that could easily be cleaned with Bar Keepers Friend. The towel that goes outside that shower was dirty when i unfolded it. The listing boasts the lake, fishing, and the huge yard. The lake is barely 2 feet deep and therefore unfishable. Not to mention how over grown the area around the lake is, making it impossible to get close to. The yard, steps, and parking areas are severly overgrown, so we didnt get to use the yard or yard games provided. We contacted VACASA about the yard and were told there was nothing they could do. So we were stuck waiding thriugh weeds the whole time. Overall this house is cheap but large. Plenty of soace and blankets, and the indoor entertainment was nice. But the property itself is being neglected. They even have plant life growing in the gutters! I would not recommend this place unless you dont mind weeds, grass up to your knees, and want something cheap for a group.

Great place to stay!
My husband and I stayed here with another couple for a week. We all were super happy with every aspect of this rental. When we arrived, the cleaning crew were just finishing up so we sat outside in the enclosed porch. Great view! The cleaning lady brought our dog a bowl of water and offered us access to the house to bring in groceries, etc. Super friendly! Everything was in perfect working order and the appliances were higher end and fairly new. Along with the standard appliances a garbage disposal, dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer are available. The pictures of this property are accurate. There is a downstairs bar and rec room with a lot of different games for indoor or outdoor play. The outdoor grill looked new and the gas bottle was full. There was a box of firewood available too! We had a concern with a wasp nest located under the stairs and after I notified the management company they sent out a pest control person within 2 hours to remove it. Great service! We loved this rental so much that before we left I booked it for another week later in the year! You will love this place!

Property was nice, close to town. The cleanliness was a concern, dirty toilet, pots and cups put away dirty in the cupboard. Needed more supplies.
