The Lightforest Chalet-The Hideout

Beautiful home

So 9 of us stayed at this house for 5 nights and we loved the house especially the game room. The property manager was very attentive and was able to rectify most issues. We loved that the beach was so close (approx. 5 minutes away). The water was a bit cold and the pool wasn't heated but the kids still went into the lake and had a blast. The fishing off the dock was also great. The reason I was only able to give this house 4 stars instead of 5 is because I feel that there really should be a checklist to every home to ensure it's ready for the next guest. For example, below are a few examples of what should have been checked before we checked in: -to ensure that there are enough towels and mats to put down on the bathroom floors so you don't wet everything. We needed to use our bath towels which left us without towels but once we called the property manager they came and gave this to us. - Ensuring that the backup bbq propane tank has gas. We were bbqing for only the 3rd time and ran out of gas. I did reach out to Candace who told me about the backup tank but that didn't have any gas either. She was able to send someone else out with gas but it did delay our dinner and with kids that could always be a disaster. - No DC adapter for the karaoke machine and Candace was not able to get one for us so the kids were not able to utilize an amenity in the house that they were really looking forward to using. - . Issues with the downstairs toilet. Again, Candace sent the plumber right away and they did . So overall, the property is great but management should be on top of having some sort of checklist to make sure everything is as it should be for the next guest.

Great place but management would benefit in having a checklist

We stayed here with our friends - 4 adults, 4 teenage girls! House was the perfect size, lots of room for everyone! The house amenities were great, we especially loved the pool table and air hockey! The community is do nice, walkable from the house to the lake/marina area. Beach area was lovely, but be sure to bring your own beach chairs. The clubhouse is nice and mini golf was lots off fun! Town is close for restaurants and groceries! We all had a great time!

Great house, lots to do in the neighborhood!

The house was what we expected from the pictures. The home was clean, spacious and the AC worked great. The home was close to everything. The property Manager Candice was always an ear shot away if needed. For the trip she was only needed once, and she gave us a welcome package as well. Looking forward to next year already.
