Beautiful property; great beach for us; lots of spaces for relaxing and fun; many games and water vehicles. Property manager does not know property. No hot tub or EV. Several water craft, not one. We did not have to call during our stay except our access code did not work. We all received multiple insect bites from outdoors and inside the house. Only one relatively small refrigerator.

Beautiful, spacious home and location. Upkeep of house could be better, and offer more resources to clean up during the stay (dish soap, cleaning wipes, etc). It would benefit from a deep clean, but we enjoyed our stay overall!

Jessica - Posted: 9/29/2024

Thank you for your review, Jessica! We are grateful you enjoyed your stay. This is not reflect the high cleaning standards we expect. We appreciate the feedback you have provided and welcome the opportunity to host you for a future stay so we can give you the 5-star experience you deserve.

Beautiful property, enjoyed our stay. That said - Access code that was provided - did not work. Very thankful that a door was unlocked after checking each door. While on the phone with the management company multiple times. They finally got back to me a few days later, as where to find the spare key. Fees were excessive, $50.00 to check in one hour early! With what you pay for cleaning and management fees. I expected more. One 42" TV. The property has listed a hot tub. A Jetted bath tub is not a hot tub.

TERESA - Posted: 9/19/2024

Thank you for your review, Teresa. We are sorry your stay missed the mark on your expectations, and that the code did not work upon your arrival. We have confirmed the listing details and amenities are and have been accurate to show the home has 1 Smart TV and has a jetted bath tub only. Thank you again!

Overall, we had a great stay! The location is perfect, close to the all the small downtowns and parks. The lakefront view was amazing! The host was great to work with, quick to respond and resolved any of the issues we had.
A couple of negatives:
1- The listing mentioned DirecTV but that was not actually available and had been removed. There was a smart tv but you were not able to add any apps so you do not have any way to watch live tv or sports.
2- We had some issues getting into the front door (the code did not work) and the internet password did not initially work either. But the host was very quick to help us fix both.
3- Not all of the doors lock or close properly. Not a big issue for us but could be for others

Location on the lake was perfect. Very private with views every bit as good as the pictures suggest. Perfect for our large group including small children.

The house was perfect for our three families. It had various areas for lounging both inside and outside. The lake itself was very calm and quite sleepy for mid-July. It was heavenly. I enjoyed morning kayaks listening to my audible book. When it came to the kids, we loved that the water was shallow beyond the dock. It definitely made water play feel safer while the adults chatted away. When the kids went out in the kayaks and small boats, we, of course, had them wear jackets. We brought a few smaller ones since we read the property only had adult-sized jackets. The week was spent with the windows open. A lovely breeze blew in each day. Since it's a nicely shaded property, the temperature stayed cool both day and night. We had a couple of issues with a clogged sink and dislocated shower head from the group before us. The management company did send a plumber. We were pleased with the timeliness. STAY! You won't regret it!

Beautiful home, setting & lake! Shallow but sandy bottom, great for swimming. Not a fishing lake but clear.

Mary - Posted: 7/22/2023

So glad you had a great stay!

Great location, very quiet lake, friendly neighbors, beautiful home and property ( a few things maybe could use some small fixes - one of the bunk beds top bunk rails were loose ), all the bedrooms should have an air conditioning unit two did not. But we lucked out with only one day of humid hot weather. We will likely rent again next year.

Katherine - Posted: 7/8/2023

We are happy that you had a great overall stay and we look forward to an opportunity to host you next year also!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property and it was perfect for our long weekend getaway by the water. The house is beautiful and looks just like the listing. It’s a private lot, and a lovely view of the lake. We enjoyed use of the kayaks, paddleboat, and Adirondack chairs. The water on Kangaroo Lake is some of the clearest I’ve seen on a lake. As with a prior review, we had some trouble with the coffee pot but located another one in the pantry that worked. The house does not have central AC, which I noticed later was indicated in the listing and I had missed. That said, most of the bedrooms have window units that work very well, and while it was hot when we arrived, the breeze from the lake through opening windows made the house cool enough elsewhere. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would book again.

Lauren - Posted: 6/25/2023

Hi Lauren, we appreciate your feedback to us! Our operations team will be following up on the other coffee pot right away. We are so glad you had a great overall stay and we hope to host you again sometime!

Our family enjoyed our stay at Kangaroo lake! It’s a wonderful space for larger groups. My only negative observation is when we arrived the house seemed to have been locked up for a lengthy amount of time. It was very stuffy and stale inside. We opened all the windows to air the place out and it was very comfortable. I would have thought that a cleaning crew would have been at the location before we arrived given the strict check-in/check-out policy, however, my sister and I noticed a lot of dust on the raised edges of all the drawers in the kitchen and the door frames. I tried to send an FYI to the management company of the property but never received a response concerning this issue.

Brenda - Posted: 6/22/2023

Hi Brenda, we thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We take reviews very seriously and would be happy to have another opportunity to host you and ensure a 5 star stay.

This is a beautiful house in a tranquil, scenic location. We appreciated many details and comforts to accommodate 10 people: sufficient plates, soft drink glasses, and cutlery.
There was no corkscrew and only 4 stemmed wine glasses. Of the three coffee machines, we only managed to get one to function. Host provided one packet of coffee for 4 cups. We enjoyed using the Weber grill, though one of the wheels was broken, which means that the grill was dangerously unstable.
We were delighted to find three kayaks, two sg. and one double, but less happy to find only one good paddle and one barely usable wooden one. I suppose it is very early in the season, and I hope that these kinks will get ironed out before too many guests are disappointed.
The door locks are timed for entry after 4 p.m. arrival and 10 a.m. departure on the dot. So if you are traveling a long distance, be careful to plan accordingly so you don't have to wait, or pay 45 dollars extra to arrange an earlier arrival.
