Not very happy
There were a lot of issues with the property. The house wasn’t clean, the linen was washed in one of the rooms. Hair was in the shower and the house had a smell.

Beautiful house!
We had a wonderful time there. Very comfortable and clean. Had everything we needed for daily use. So peaceful in the mornings. The piano could use tuning, but my daughter enjoyed playing anyway. We used the kayaks and fished in the dock. Didn’t get a single bite. We had to leave early because of the hurricane but plan on going back.

Gorgeous Lake View
Lake Talquin is a favorite when visiting Tally. It’s out of the way, quiet and you can’t go wrong with a lake house. Huge house with open living area and bedrooms We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen and the dock. Melanie was so very helpful. If I could give 6 stars in that category I would.

We were unable to stay at the property and immediately contacted the owner who helped us through the process of cancellation and refund. She was very understanding and cooperative. The location and view of the lake is wonderful.

Beautiful Home on the water
We took our grandkids for a three night stay, four adults and five kids. This place was perfect - very spacious, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We caught lots of fish right off the dock. The home was just as pictured. There is just so much space to hang and enjoy - we didn’t even get to use them all. This is by far one of the best VRBO rental we have ever used.

Lovely Lake House
This is such a cute home with lots of character and being able to step out the back door and be right on the lake was so nice. It had all the amenities we needed and there is a convenience/bait store close by as well if you need to pick up anything. We spent most of our days fishing or exploring some of the state parks that are close by. Had such a lovely time that we are already talking about coming back for another trip.

Great space and views
Our family of six adults really enjoyed all the space we had to spread out. The kitchen is large and the dining area is Lars also. The kitchen could use a little updating and I gave the host a couple of suggestions for things that might need to be fixed….. overall we would definitely return.

Wish we could have stayed longer
Very nice property. Grandkids thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks, swimming and fishing. I got to spend family time with my siblings who live close by. Only wish we could have stayed longer ( school schedules dictated this). The appliances are a little outdated but nothing we couldn't handle. Melanie was very responsive. Will definitely return

Great experience
Our car broke down about four miles from the house on a Sunday afternoon. We were verging on panic, even after we ordered a tow truck because we couldn't figure out how to get to the house. I called the property owners and they sent a family member to pick us up and brought us some food because everything was closed. So happy.

Relax with a beautiful view
This house is spacious, clean, and well equipped. A unique feature is the screened porch which overlooks a large lake, making it another ‘room’ for playing games, reading or just relaxing at the end of the day. The house has 2 king bed master bedrooms, as well as other sleeping spaces, so lends itself to gatherings of friends or family. Communication with the owner is easy and friendly.
