Abgeschiedenes, familienfreundliches Cottage mit 2 Mini-Kabinen und einem Whirlpool am Lake Sanford

Unser abgelegener Waldretreat ist einzigartig. Es verfügt über 3 abgelegene Cottages (1 Haupthaus und 2 Mini-Hütten) auf einem 3 Hektar großen Grundstück am Seeufer mit mehr als 700 Fuß erstklassiger Angelküstenlinie am Sanford Lake. Der Hof verfügt über eine Feuerstelle und die meisten Hofsportarten. Entspannen Sie in der Hängematte oder unternehmen Sie eine Naturwanderung auf einem Waldweg. Unser Grundstück ist umgeben von 40 Hektar bewaldetem Staatsland. Diese 40 Morgen grenzen an Tausende Morgen bewaldetes Staatsland mit Wanderwegen. Gegen eine zusätzliche Gebühr steht Ihnen auch ein brandneuer Whirlpool für 4 bis 6 Personen zur Verfügung. Die Unterkunft verfügt auch über eine Anlegestelle für ein Boot, einen Ponton oder einen Jet-Ski. Wir haben 3 Kajaks, 1 Kanu und ein Ruderboot, die Sie gerne benutzen können.

Das Haupthaus ist 1.800 sf mit 3 Schlafzimmern, einem Etagenbettzimmer und 2 Badezimmern. Alle Schlafzimmer befinden sich auf der dritten Ebene des Lofts. Alle drei Schlafzimmer bieten jeweils 1 Kingsize-Bett. Das Etagenbettzimmer befindet sich im Erdgeschoss. Das Haupthaus bietet Platz für insgesamt 14 Personen (22 Personen, wenn beide Mini-Kabinen hinzugefügt werden). Die zweite Etage des Haupthauses verfügt über eine voll ausgestattete Küche und einen Essbereich, ein Wohnzimmer mit Sofas, einen 60-Zoll-Fernseher, einen DVD-Player und ein Wii-Spielesystem, ein komplettes Badezimmer und Wäschemöglichkeiten. Die zweite Etage verfügt auch über mehrere Außenterrassen und Treppen, die zum Whirlpoolbereich und anderen verschiedenen und einzigartigen Bereichen führen. Das Erdgeschoss des Haupthauses wurde in ein Etagenbettzimmer (so dass wir Schlafgelegenheiten mit Zugang zum Badezimmer im Erdgeschoss anbieten können) und ein komplettes Badezimmer umgewandelt.

Auf dem Grundstück gibt es 2 "Mini-Hütten", die für größere Gruppen gegen einen Aufpreis gemietet werden können: Mini-Hütte Nr. 1 befindet sich ungefähr 20 Fuß vom Haupthaus entfernt. Die Mini-Hütte Nr. 2 ist etwa 100 Fuß vom Haupthaus entfernt und in der Nähe des Wassers gebaut. Beide Mini-Kabinen bieten Platz für 3-4 Personen. Jede Mini-Kabine ist etwa 240 sf und verfügt über:
• Ein Futon, eine Liege und ein Kaffeetisch in voller Größe auf der ersten Ebene
• Ein Queensize-Bett im Dachgeschoss

Der Sanford Lake eignet sich perfekt zum Angeln von Barschen, Hechten, Muskies, Zander, Blaugrün und Barschen. In der Nähe unseres Grundstücks befindet sich eine Bootsanlegestelle und am südlichen Ende des Sees befindet sich ein großer öffentlicher Strand mit einem großartigen Wassersprühpark für Kinder.

This was a wonderful break! We played in the pool and hot tubs multiple times per day. The dogs loved the large area to walk around in. We took a portable fence so we were able to just step out the basement door and let the dogs out. Good exercise with 3 stories and lots of stairs. Kitchen was plenty big enough for all us to work preparing meals. Having a gas grill there saved us having to bring one! Highly recommend the hosts; they were reachable before we arrived and happy to answer all our questions we had after we arrived.

Great for a family vacation.

Everyone had a terrific time. The pool was great. The children and some adults had a great time in the pool and jacuzzi and Jim maintained it. There are no real bedrooms in the house but there are three lofts with privacy. We also rented the two cabins. It worked out very well for us. Looking forward to staying here again.

Lack of Lake does not impact

We had an amazing vacation our closest friends and fur children. The hiking paths were incredible and the pool and hot tub weee so relaxing. My husband caught fish in what’s left of the water on the property with great success a few carp and gahr. The dogs were in heaven. The bedrooms and cabins were all comfortable and quiet and cool as needed in the summer time. The firepit and endless supply of wood made each evening a memorable fun time. Great Wi-Fi quality allowed for music streaming and for smart tv watching the one night we had rain. We would come back and stay at Jim’s any time— and hope to rebook once the lake is refilled.

Graduation getaway

My family and I stayed here for a week. The area was beautiful and the house was really nice inside. I was with a bunch of teenagers so of course the wifi was a big deal. We had some problems with that working. Jim tried to get it fixed for us but it never really worked for us. The pool was beautiful, but the hubby was sad that the hot tub was out of order. Overall, the trip was good. I think this house would be great for someone with younger kids because of how the bedrooms are set up. But Jim was great and we had a good time.

Definitely not as advertised or pictured!

Before booking I asked the property owner if we had room to park and charge 4 boats since the only reason we were in the area was for a pro fishing tournament. He said yes! I also let him know that it was 7 adults staying with a 9 week old baby. He said it would be perfect for us. What he didn’t explain or picture was that the 3 king bedrooms are the size of a small tent that you can’t even stand up in that have curtains as a door. (Which by the way when you close the curtains you can’t feel the air because it’s provided by a fan attached to the stair railing🤦🏻‍♀️) The mattress is directly on the floor that you have to crawl in and out of after you climb 2 flights of stairs to get to them. There is no lighting upstairs except for a small lamp in each room on a wall shelf. So in the morning we used our phone flashlights to see in our suitcases (since there was no room for clothes in the room itself nor a closet upstairs.) The day we got there the hot water heater was not working, the electric panel kept throwing breakers. The owner did come get it working, but the breaker panel threw breakers every day we were there when the above ground pool was running. The owner yelled and told me not to charge the boats (which obviously wasn’t an option since we were there to fish a tournament and clearly needed charged batteries to operate them) He did attempt at an apology after our conversation but the damage had been done with his lack of professionalism and then he showed up EVERY SINGLE DAY after that. So, I hope you love hanging out with strangers because he is there a lot. We VRBO a lot and have never even seen an owner much less every day of the stay. 🥴 So, to summarize it, don’t stay unless you are bringing a lot of kids that would think staying in a tent size room on the floor is awesome! 7 grown adults did NOT like to crawl in and out of the rooms every day. I have pictures and would post if I could so everyone knows more of what they are getting themselves into!

This family retreat is pictured and described by owner accurately…. This reviewer and her husband booked on behalf of additional professional fisherman in the group. Everyone in the group apologized on behalf of these two shortly after arrival and on their way home after renting. In the future I will make every effort to only rent to family fun seekers. I tried to accommodate a group that was not renting to enjoy the property, they were in the area for a fishing tournament 30 miles away. Parking was not a problem, with the smallest effort boats could have been parked on driveway. The Yoders decided to drive across yard and septic field with no regards for damaging the property. I brought over extra extension cords to accommodate boat charging and heat guns that were used to change decals out for new tournament decals. Four heat guns and 4 boat charger will trip breakers because my cottage was not designed to be a pit stop for 4 boats. The electric power for pool filtration was unplugged every day. Pool turned green after a few days and in order to have the place ready for next group I had to visit the property daily. I was not willing to have they next group suffer because of the Yoders. I did what was necessary rather than have them leave the property (I regret letting them stay at my property). I was more than surprised to see this review and the comments. Apparently after every effort to accommodate this group the Yoders decided to make a extreme effort to do damage by giving a false and poor review. My property is pictured and described accurately. They VRBO site can not accurately describe my unique property, unfortunately the site describes each room as a bedroom even though the description and photos clearly describe a unique family retreat. When everything went sideways I contacted tournament organizers and sponsors asking for them to help get our situation on track and avoid additional problems. They were very accommodating letting me know I was not the only one to have trouble with this couple in the past. They gave me their contact information and asked me to follow up with them if there was additional problems. Unfortunately, I will have to contact tournament organizers and sponsors to let them know how poorly everything turned out. Fortunately, they know that it was not the entire group that was problematic. Future Families should read the descriptions and look at all the pictures. It is easy to ask questions about any concerns before booking.

The house was very accommodating, especially with the huge bunk beds and two extra cabins. The kitchen was sufficient, and the pool and hot tub were wonderful bonuses. Super easy check in and out.

Awesome Weekend Up North

My friends and I enjoyed an awesome long weekend up north at the property. There were a decent amount of us and the house was big enough to accommodate everyone as advertised and the outdoor spaces also help a ton with a group. We made breakfast lunch and dinner in the kitchen everyday and I am looking forward to going back in the warmer months to grill outside. It is a rustic wood cabin up north so keep a bit of a camping vibe and you will be just fine. The few times we had an issue we reached out and got a response immediately and taken care of. The trails around the house are really pretty and the deck and yard space is perfect for a group to all get together and have fun. There are three bedrooms upstairs and I would call this a loft as it is open to the main floor but you have curtains for privacy and we really liked that set up. The basement has a dart board and TV’s although I don’t know why you would watch TV while up north but there are large bunk beds through out the basement and our group fit perfectly as the bunks are full size mattresses and built with some really cool woodwork. Ultimately, we had a blast and anytime there was an issue we got a response right away. It is a beautiful cabin up north, if you’re expectations are a beautiful rustic get away up north and you’re not high maintenance, you will have an absolute blast. I’m really looking forward to going back with our group again.

The house is listed as 4 bedrooms. There is no bedrooms

The owner of this property is both disingenuous and, in my opinion, unethical. There were several issues we had with our stay. The first, and most prevalent is that when we booked the home the listing claimed that the home has four bedrooms. Upon arrival, we realized that—in fact—the home has ZERO bedrooms. It has a poorly refurbished garage that has multiple bunk beds in it. Outside of this, it LITERALLY has three large mattresses on the floor in the loft area that have been separated by curtains. These bedrooms are basically unusable for privacy. You cannot change clothes because you cannot stand up, there is a light that is plugged in and a television that does not work. There was literally no good place on the entire property for my parents to sleep. They had to choose between a garage in the basement, loft beds in separate “homes” that do not have bathrooms AND that you have to climb a ladder to get into, or mattresses on the ground. That is disgraceful. The second issue, when we booked the property over 8 months ago, we were planning to use the water features in the property. There was a devastating flood in the area, and essentially all the water was dried up. When we got to the property there was no stream, no pond, not even enough water to submerge our feet in. We are from hours away and had heard nothing about the floods, and the waterfront aspect of the property was our main reason for booking this property. The owner did not disclose that there was no water left, though he did send an obscure communication about not being able to use the kayaks, which was not enough information. The ethical choice after the flood would have been to disclose the new information, and either offer the chance to cancel OR to refund a portion of the money. Instead, he chose to ignore it and hope for the best. Other important notations from this property. The separate cabins have NO BATHROOMS, so people have to walk through pitch blackness to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. There are also security cameras throughout the property both indoors and outdoors, which is incredibly disconcerting as a guest. When we were able to communicate with the owner after returning from the trip, he basically told my family that it was OUR fault because we did not ask these questions specifically. The misrepresentations of the property, along with the lack of caring and empathy from the owner made this house completely awful

After 6 years of sharing my unique property with hundreds of family fun seekers I have my first Rental Regret. Fortunately, I have had an overwhelming amount of great reviews that motivate me to continue to share with great families. (Full disclosure there was a woman that was 9 months pregnant that had a difficult time and her review is listed.) This individual expertly asked for a 50% refund a week after staying at my Woodland Retreat. Before the request for a refund the guest had no complaints or concerns that he shared with me. I did effectively and accurately communicate to this guest that the lakes have been drained two months before rental. This renter did not ask to change plans. I would have given a full refund if the guest choose to cancel there reservation in advance. This individual denied the rental charge to his credit card company. Myself and VRBO had to prove that in fact this charge was legitimated and ultimately we did receive our rental fees. In the future... I will make sure guest read my listing and communications. I will make sure guest look at the pictures posted. I will make sure family fun seekers continue to enjoy my unique property. My Woodland Retreat is Great and Unique, it is not exactly like your home (That's the whole point of a Retreat...)

Great property, great host

Thrilled with our experience at Jim’s property. Had a group of friends for an annual trip and this one ranks at the top because of the property. So much space inside and out, ten of us slept comfortably and had an incredible wiffle ball game out in the yard (all equipment provided). Great fire pit with plenty of outdoor seating and firewood provided. Absolutely no complaints and every guest has requested to book again next year.

Great for a family getaway!

We had such a great time here! The property is so beautiful & it felt like we had our own little secluded park all to ourselves being able to enjoy frisbee, baseball, the jacuzzi, relaxing in the hammocks, hiking the trails, eating s’mores and sitting around the fire pit and all of it in our own backyard! We had a group of 10 - ages ranging from 2 to 70 and every single person loved it! The inside was also very spacious, clean and we loved the open floor plan and the ample room for sleeping. Plus the kids loved the bunkbeds!! And we also loved the space for outdoor eating and barbecuing. There are several decks to sit out on and just enjoy the peaceful mornings and evenings. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

Great place to stay!

Our group had a great time hanging out at this property. It's a fun spot set into nature. The mini cabin was great for a couple with their children to have a quiet, removed area for naps and rest times. Walking the properties trails along the canal was fun and relaxing. The paddle down the canal in the kayaks was a good time in the water. We even heard a few owls when we were using the fire pit one evening. Overall it was a great, relaxing place to stay with a a largish group (14 people).

The house is well set up for babies and toddlers: he has baby gates, high chair/booster, pack n play, potty seat, etc. The fishing was good, and tons of turtles. We bad no difficulty getting our fishing boat into the channel there and docking.

Responsive owner and clean house, but bedrooms/living area not as advertised

We rented this property in June 2018. We are an extended family of 5 adult siblings, a couple spouses, 3 kids (15, 13, and 9) and a 4 month old baby. Positives: The AC worked great, the hot tub was super nice and can fit 5-6 adults comfortably. The owner is super responsive, and the firepit area is nice as well. Negatives: The bedrooms. This house lists that there are 3 king bedrooms upstairs, so we were expecting actual bedrooms with beds and doors. This has 3 A frame cubbies with king mattresses on the floor and thick curtains in lieu of doors. With the A frame you can’t really stand up unless you are standing right in the middle. And with just a mattress on the floor, it was very difficult for anyone over about 4 ft tall up there (especially me since I am currently 7.5 months pregnant). The “bunkhouse” room is a converted garage. There were actual beds in there at least, but it still has a garage feel to it. It also has no separate doors (other than exterior doors). So there was no place for a 4 month old baby (or anyone else for that matter) to peacefully take a nap. The living room is very small and only has places for 6 people to sit. We moved a couple chairs in there from the kitchen, but there was no room for us all to sit and watch TV or even be in the same room at once. Plus, the cubbies (bedrooms) are open to right above it so any talking/laughing in the living room/kitchen is quite audible up there. I guess if everyone went to bed at the exact same time it would not be a problem, but we had some who were ready for bed and some who wanted to play cards/watch TV/talk etc and we couldn’t without disturbing each other. If there was another “hangout” area it might not have been too bad. There are a couple picnic tables outside for sitting, but those are not on the same level as the kitchen so even all sitting and eating together was not possible. There are kayaks and a canoe available to use, but the floating dock that you need to use it was barely tied up and was very wobbly and not easy to use without feeling like you were going to fall in the water (which is at the end of a channel and fairly stagnant). Like I said, the owner is very responsive, and the house was clean. We just did not feel that the house is accurately described and it did not work well for our family.

I am a business owner and entrepreneur who formerly served in the US Marine Corps. I live full-time within 5 miles from this property. I grew up having a family cottage that was the setting for many cherished memories and weekend getaways. I built this cottage so my family, friends, and others could also enjoy a quality family setting to make their own cherished memories.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

This unique property is centrally located in the state. There are to many family fun adventures to list in this area. I designed and built this retreat for family fun. I am keeping the price point low so that it can be enjoyed by as many family-fun seekers as possible.
