Pros first - We loved the decks, sitting outside, and the dock. The dock is brand new, big, and has deep enough water on one end for kids to jump and dive. We second the recommendation to bring a 10x10 tent to provide shade during the day. Paddleboards and canoe were great. Living space was large and open. Check in was easy, linens and bath towels were provided, and the house was clean.
Cons - You absolutely cannot do laundry due to iron in the water. Laundry will be stained; in fact, our skin was actually stained orange within a few days from the showers. Bring your own water for coffee, drinking, etc… Several items in the house were not in good condition. Grill was broken and did not have grill cleaning equipment. Dartboard had no functional darts. Kitchen chairs and table were wobbly - we actually had tools and repaired them ourselves. Lighting above the table was very dim and we needed to use extension cords to move lamps in order to play games at night.
Vacasa was notified about the grill and the iron in the water. We were told that the grill would be repaired on Day 2 but no one showed up all week. We actually repaired it ourselves. Vacasa was also notified mid-week about the iron changing the color of our skin. They told us that they knew about the problem, that it was “not harmful”, and that they “work on it in between guests”. I don’t believe it’s harmful, but it is disturbing that everyone’s feet and nails were stained orange for an unknown length of time. Vacasa’
