| This lovely home was perfect. Others complained about noise and smell, we had no problems with any of that. This home was spacious and beautiful. She is starting to show her age a little with some minor problems, but when it came to service, Big Bear Vacations was on the spot. Their friendly and professional attitude made for a perfect vacation. The view is excellent and the location is close to everything. The home was comfortable, spa fun, and the lake a delight. It was truly a "Storybook" vacation and we hope to come again. |

Aside from being a gorgeous home with a great floor plan, the views were breathtaking. My family and I would definitely stay at this location again. It has been a great vacation experience. With that being said I would like to add that the office staff were great and attentive.
Thank You,
Melvin Cruz |

Beautiful house and view with a couple recommendations |

| Our family had a fantastic time at this property. The house was nicer than we expected, the kitchen was huge, the laundry room was nice, our kids loved the little storage room beneath the stairs with a mattress in it, the view was spectacular and the rooms were very nice. The decor is a bit outdated, but it fit with the style of the house nicely. One note to future guests traveling with escape artists (toddlers or young kids) like ours, there are 5 doors leading directly to the backyard/lake, not to mention the 2 leading to the front with no gates on the sides so there is a direct access to the lake with no fencing or other precautions to slow the kids down. 2 of the doors do not have locks from the inside (the handles turn and lock so outsiders can't come in, but insiders can go out) so you may want to consider bringing baby gates or just be prepared for that. Also several of the sliding doors and other windows do not close properly, so a little maintenance on those would be helpful. Future guests bring: trash bags, coffee filters, & dishwasher soap. We did have some minor ant issues in several rooms, but that's just nature. And for almost 2 hours on our 2nd night we could smell the sewer that someone else reviewed about, but luckily it went away. Oh and the neighbor kids right next door had a major party that lasted until at least 3am which was extremely obnoxious and loud, but again, not the fault of the rental company. Overall the property was very nice and the dock was very handy to use for fishing and the boat we rented. But there are some areas that the owners should do some maintenance on: shower heads, windows, cracks in the walls, finishing the flooring in the master bathroom, etc. The beds, pillows, new carpet, and other furniture were great. |

| Thank you for your response to our survey. All of our spas are locked and the key should be on the the same ring as the house key. Our in-hose maintenance department will take a spa key to the house if it missing from the ring. We hope you will come back and visit us again. |

| This home was gorgeous and perfectly set upon the lake-it seemed the ideal place for a family hang out-a grassy green for volleyball and frisbee, lovely view of the lake, quiet neighborhood. However, it was one house away from a sewer lift-and all evening and half the day it smelled like raw sewage. at night we had to close up the house to keep to stench out and were unable to sit on the deck if we wanted to breathe clean air. I would not recommend this place until the city fixes the problem-then I will re-rent it in a heartbeat! other minor issues: hot tub takes forever to heat-but nice to jump into right off the lake. |

| Thank you for your response to Storybook Lakefront Unit 664. There is a City sewer lift station in the area. This normally doesn't create a problem. We are sorry the lift station presented a problem during your stay. We sometimes need to change the water in a spa (when chemical measuremnts tell us to change the water)and it does take up to 8 hours to warm-up. We are sorry the spa wasn't warm at the time of your arrival. Again, thank you for your response to our survey. This will help us give our furture guests a better quality stay. |

Stunning Lakefront |
Reviewed by: Denny

| We had a bad experience with a different real estate company that promised us "stunning lake views". This one lives up to that promise in spades. It was so spectacular, that I found myself getting up a 5:45am just to watch the sunrises! Great dock, and beautiful landscaping too. |

Great views and hot tub but the house needs some work |

I really enjoyed being on the lake and having the hot tub overlooking the water. With that said there we some pretty big things that would make me not rent the home again:
-very old furniture. The bed in the "master" bedroom broke while we were sleeping the first night
-3rd bedroom bed size is only meant for a child under 10
-tv/stereo/etc are very outdated
not worth the price |

good view, but house was terribly cold! |

We rented the house for two nights in winter and for most of time we stayed there, the house was freezing, especially in the bedrooms! The heater was so inefficient that it took 2 days (just before we left) to heat the house to livable temperature. The decor was dated and dark, carpet was dirty. We couldn't believe that this house was rated 5 star.
The view was great so it would be better for summer rental. |

| Thank you for your review on Storybook Lakefront. The heat issue has been resolved since your stay. The ducting has been completely replaced. This is a four star home with numerous new furnishings and appliances. In December '08 the owner placed new furniture in 2 bedrooms. The carpet has been cleaned, as we do spring cleaning on all of our homes. |
