First let me say that I have stayed a about half a dozen VRBO homes over the last few years so I have a idea what to expect from a home. With each one I have had good experiences. This home was also an overall very good experience.
To start, let me say that the home was in immaculate condition. It was extremely clean and comfortable. The furniture and beds were in top notch condition and looked very nice. Everything in the home worked as it should, the pool table and cues were in good condition and the sauna and hot tub were enjoyed as well. It was too cold to use the lake for water recreation, but it did look to offer a nice time. I liked that there was wood for the fire pit as well.
The following are reasons I decided not to give a 5 star rating.
1. The home is set up to sleep 14, we had 12 in our group. Items such as the number of plates and other kitchen supplies were limited for a group of out size. We had to wash dishes after each meal to have some for the next.
2. Add an information book. Most rental homes have a book/binder with basic info for the home including check in/out procedures and local recommended attractions and restaurants etc.
3. Check in was 4pm. We were hoping for an early check in if possible. We were told that wasn't an option yet we were not notified when the house was available and a little after 4 pm had to call to get the access code as it wasn't provided.
All in all this is a great home and recommended.
