The place was amazing!! We really enjoyed our stay there.The shower down in the garage drips just a little and splatters onto bathroom rug and made it so there was just little musty smell
Rented the house in early September with the family. What a great place! Awesome location and beautiful views. Will definitely book again , we love the house and love CDA !!
The location of the house is great. It is really lovely the way it is decorated. It is not lake front and you have to walk down a public access to get to lake but that was fine( there is a private property in front). You do have Great Lake views. Kidd bay is pretty shallow and has a lot of lake reefs growing up. We did get permission to bring a boat in so that was great but you do have to be careful given the reeds. It is a very quiet BWI or hood which is nice. The layout of the house is a little weird. There are really 3 bedrooms ( one of which is in the back of the garage) and an open loft area that has bunk beds. The upstairs was a bit warm and hence the box fans provided. The house does have AC. Overall, we all fit, 8 adults and we enjoyed our stay very much. The kitchen is reasonably well stocked. There are hidden drawers within the drawers so we did not find the sharp knives or plastic wrap til 2 days in! But itâs there( you have to stand back or bend down and then you see the upper hidden drawer. Checkin and checkout was easy. The cda agency managing the property in particular Whitney was very responsive. We had a door lock issue and some ground water seepage from over irrigation that was quickly addressed. I think for us, we would not rent again as the layout was not optimal for 8 adults. The loft area better for kids. Otherwise, a great house. Also we had no problems cooking. There are wall ovens and the antique stove electric burners work. The gas grill was not very
Check in process was simple. Sleeping arrangements were not great. One bedroom and one bathroom is in the garage! The bunkbeds are in a loft and thus all noise from downstairs is heard by the âkidsâ sleeping. Not a fan of the barn door style used in the powder room and a bathroom- doesnât provide privacy. The kitchen seemed large but the stove was âantiqueâ and really awful to cook on. Very impractical. The kitchen was fairly well stocked but minus any cutting knives. I had to go and buy a set to chop veggies. When we arrived and sat on the deck, there were swarms of bees. Management response was âwell no one else complained â. They did have pest control service the porch and areas. The bees did return a day later and we had a few bee stings and I left messages for management that the bees were still a problem to solve. This unfortunately eliminated any time on the patio, the best part of the house. The lake access was really not optimal. No dock to access and frankly I felt cheated. It was very ambiguous where exactly you could be on the water, which was very swampy and not ideal. The space was expensive and it was okay but I would definitely not recommend you stay here. I have stayed at numerous VRBO properties and this was disappointing.
A wonderful hidden spot near CdA!
A group of us were looking for a spot for a getaway on lake CdA- this spot was perfect.
The house was clean, spacious and stocked with the essentials. The beds were soft and location was ideal for zipping into town.
The owners have put a great deal of time and effort into making the house a true vacation spot. We loved the decor!
The lower level was awesome for kids. They could throw the football, play video games and just hang out. We also enjoyed the fire pit on the deck overlooking the lake.
There were paddle boards, kayaks for enjoying the lake. The water access is across the street, and all we had to do was haul the boats down a side path. Very doable.
The only downside was the beach area. The âbeachâ is not a place you would want to hang out at- covered in goose stuff. BUT the water was clean and the lake was beautiful. Just a heads-up on that.
