It's a good place to stay if you don't mind being in the woods, wirh limited view of the lake. Far from town and activities.
It is well maintained, very quiet, we enjoyed our stay
Booked it last minute for a trip out to see friends. It worked out very well because he lived on the same road. Very nice place but the one window unit didnât keep the whole house cool. It needs multiple units because it was hot outside and warm in the house except for the living room
Most of whats said in the booking is not true.
You can't see the lake, you cannot access the lake, as soon as you open the door their is a strong smell that you cannot stand. The inside is old the sofa had stains, bed sheets not clean. Rat poop around, plumming was a problem when taking a shower, curtains see through everyone can see inside at night. Curtain rip old smells bad. I had to buy candles and airfreshner to help with the smell it was a very uncomfortable stay. They charge cleaning fee but its was filthy their fees is more than the cabin rental and its not worth it i will not recommend this place.
Lakeside Home is just a few blocks from the lake and more importantly, our dock. We host all of our friends and family one weekend a year and we fill up ALL of the rentals. We just discovered this perfectly located, adorable place. We will definitely be booking this for our friends again!!
The cabin was as discribed except there was a terrible smell of mildew or mold as soon as we came in the door. My wife has asthma so we only stayed two nights and the second night I sprayed all the carpets and furniture with Febreeze the try to block the smell but by morning it was strong again so we left one night early
When we arrived, the AC window unit was off and never felt like it was cooling down the home during our stay. There was also no dishwasher and not a lot of storage to place your food. No Wi-Fi was provided either. The deck has an amazing view, and the dining room/ home is very peaceful. The location was not the best, but we loved the easy access to the lake! Overall, we had an amazing time and thank the hosts for sharing their home!
Let me start by saying the area was great. Very pretty and quiet. The view of the lake from the kitchen window was nice. The backyard was big and our kids loved playing out there. The big deck was great and we used the grill most nights for dinner. The town is full of friendly people and the local grocery store had everything we needed including a fantastic meat counter with an awesome variety of different sausages made in house. We especially loved the blueberry breakfast sausage and the Hawaiian Pineapple sausage. Delicious! They also have a grind your own coffee station with a dozen different options. We loved it. It was too cold for boating and lake activities but there are lots of flee markets in the surrounding areas for those that love a vintage treasure hunt and Eureka Springs, AR is just 30 minutes away. That town is so cool. We spent a few days wandering through all the shops and historic sites and even toured one of the many caves open to the public. Now as for the cabin... our trip happened to be during the coldest winter the area had seen in decades. The cabin only has one heat source in the living room by the front door. It reminds me of a space heater where it's either on or off. Blowing really hot air or nothing. The living room was roasting hot and the bedrooms were freezing. The weather started to warm up eventually and we started to get more comfortable and the kids were able to play outside, but those first three nights we were freezing. We bought two space heaters at the local hardware store but they kept tripping the breaker so we could only use one at a time. We warmed up the kids room and my husband and I shivered under extra blankets we brought from home. Once the weather warmed up a bit we were way more comfortable, but those first 3 nights were cold. As an unrelated side note, we did appreciate the access to the washer and dryer with available detergent and dryer sheets. We went home without any dirty laundry. So nice. We were there for over a week and by the end of our vacation the weather was warmer and we were sad to leave. We recognized we were there under completely abnormal circumstances since the winters are normally more mild, but we decided that if we were to visit again we'd prefer to go during warmer months.
