Blue Breeze - Private lakefront w/ Hot Tub

This was a great property with a picture perfect view. We traveled here for my college graduation. We had no issues upon arrival other than the tv remotes not working and the downstairs door is still not able to lock, which appears to be an issue in a previous review. However, the downstairs bathroom began overflowing raw sewage one day into our stay. We placed towels down and contacted the host who within 30mins replied with a plumber would be out first thing in the morning. The following morning we avoided using that bathroom, but due to gravity and using the upstairs bathroom it began overflowing worse and the sewage began to flow throughout the entire downstairs. It got to the point that it had reached the stairs on the others side of the house. The smell was indescribable and was coming up through the vents. We decided it was unsafe for us to be in the house so we left for the day for the plumber to solve the issue. The host said a plumber was called. I asked about an update the host never responded. We returned to the property at 5 and still not plumber was there and the host never responded. We then contacted VRBO directly who was able to call the host and only then did he respond with “a plumber is still coming”. 20 mins later the host backtracked and said a plumber wasn’t needed it was electrical. The host went in circles solving the and refused to refund us for more than 50% even though we had to evacuate 12 hours before graduation. Very disappointed.

My brother and I with his son stayed here while visiting family nearby. The house was clean and comfortable. When we arrived the lower level sliding glass door was open and I could not figure out how to lock it. Other than that I have no complaints. There was a snow storm during our stay, they cleared the driveway and stairs within 24 hours of the storm. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of linens. We weren’t at the house much but the view was pretty. When we stopped for gas in our rental car on the way to the airport my brother realized he left his wallet. I contacted the host and we were able to coordinate and have a local family member pick it up. We were thankful the cleaning crew and host were honest and helped in that situation.
