Great House Bad Location
We rented this home because we wanted to be on a lake where we could swim from the house. We paid a higher price for a rental to be on the water. There were limited summer time pictures available for this house on the listing so BEFORE BOOKING I wrote and asked about the swimming off the dock. I was told it was excellent. Turns out it was not. Covered in algae and the DEQ had a warning for cyanobacteria. Hosts said sorry that is so rare. Per the neighbors, happens all the time at that end of the lake where the house is located and is often unsafe to swim. Also no cell service which was not disclosed in listing. We had both ATT and Verizon between us and no one could get cell service. We had WIFI calling out but no one could text us or call us. Again, hosts said they had never heard of such a thing. The hot tub was dirty and cloudy. To their credit, the hosts immediately sent someone over to drain and clean it. The house itself was beautiful and clean with a great layout for a larger group (seven of us). We did see a couple of live mice on the downstairs floor. We weren't too bothered by them so we didn't contact hosts about it as we did not want them to do an extermination in the middle of our vacation. We would not rent this home again because really it is not a usable "lake" house (you can't swim or safely get into the water at this location).

Wonderful family place
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. It has plenty of space and also worked for our son-in-law who is a quadriplegic and in a wheel chair. He just had to use his ramps to get into the house and used a small ramp to get in and out of the shower. The only disappointing thing was that the children could not swim at the house. The lake was very mossy and green and not a good place for swimming, ever from the dock. Everything else was great. Thank you for letting us use your home.

Great Christmas Trip
My husband, our two boys (11 and 13) and I stayed at the property over Christmas. It was a great property for us! The view over the lake was amazing from the awesome living room windows. Our boys loved the pool and ping pong. We enjoyed hours of board game fun in the downstairs game room. Communication with the property managers was excellent and they provided amazing local recommendations. Close to CDA and Hayden but far enough to enjoy the beautiful nature/views at the house.

A great family Thanksgiving
Wildcat Creek Lodge was fabulous for our family 2023 Thanksgiving!! The house was very accurately portrayed on the VRBO website. It was very clean, great beds, towels, kitchen was well stocked... It has great TV and sound systems, ping pong, piano, hot tub, all exceeded our expectation. We received consistent communication from the Vacation Rental Authority which made checking in and out easy. They even left a turkey roasting pan. We could not have asked for more. We recommend the house and management company.

Hayden Lake annual trip
We had a large group and the house accommodated us very comfortably with a lot of fun things to do for the kids! We enjoyed fishing at the dock, playing ping pong and playing piano. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice, quiet retreat! Beds were very comfortable as well! Thanks for a great stay!

House was easy to find and get into. Views are absolutley amazing from inside and outside the house. The driveway is a bit tight when you have 4 vehicles in it. If you have bad knees or who are older the rock stwps to get to the dock might give you a some trouble. Overall this was a great place and everyone had a great time!
