Wanted to reach out with a review of our experience staying at Lake View Acres. My husband and I decided to choose this location based on the beautiful photos and reviews. We were looking for a relaxing, romantic place to spend some time together. We are both retired and are always looking for places to enjoy life and enjoy each other's company.
We were excited to arrive and begin our vacation, but things started going wrong immediately. First the key didn't work on the door. It took us 10 minutes to get in the cabin. When we did make it inside, what we saw did not match the photos on the website. The furniture was broken down and in need of repair or replacement. The kitchen was dirty with dried up food on the cabinets and in the sink. The stove was so dirty we didn't feel comfortable using it. The refrigerator was dirty and in need of repair/replacement. It had one shelf and the shelves on the door would pop out. It was plugged in with a red extension cord with exposed wires. The dishwasher leaked onto the floor.
The living room had a lot of glass windows without any coverings so there was no privacy. The lamps also had the nobs removed and were not adjustable. There was exposed wiring sticking out of the ceiling fans. Inside the bathroom there appeared to be dog hair on the door. The tile in the shower was chipped and our feet stuck to the bottom. The water temperature was difficult to adjust as either it was scalding hot or freezing cold.
The dryer had to be unplugged and then plugged back in in order for it to work.
We like to enjoy sitting outside and take in the fresh air, relax, and enjoy the views. But we weren't able to do this due the presence of several large dogs which would constantly bother us.
Overall this was not a pleasant experience. We did not get the relaxing, picturesque experience that we were promised. The photos on the website are not an accurate representation of the current state of the cabin which was in serious need of repair. For $700 we feel like we were ripped off and deprived of enjoying our precious time together (also note that we were not provided with a receipt). If you are wanting to stay someplace relaxing, on a lake, I would recommend you look elsewhere. read more
