Hotels & Accommodation near Gold Rush Water Park

Everything was wonderful. This is the second time we stayed there in the off-season.

The house is spacious with plenty do within the home. Our large family gathered here this winter to celebrate a late Christmas together. Some of our disappointments included- The entire downstairs of the house had a difficult time heating up and staying warm. The upstairs was plenty warm. We were surprised to find some holes in the walls upstairs. The dishwashers worked, however the doors and drawers inside were broken. The bathroom in the downstairs had a clogged toilet that we were unable to unclog. In one of the bathrooms connected to the bedroom upstairs, the bath tub/shower would not drain, it seemed to take hours for the water do drain, in that same bathroom the toilet continued to run. We worked on the float/plunger several different times during our stay but it continued to randomly run. The toilet brush in this bathroom was completely filthy with dirty substances in the brush bristles. The floors throughout the house were not completely cleaned- there was sand, dust and hairs in spots around the house. The walls and ceilings (especially in the bedrooms) had dust and cobwebs around. The rugs through out the home were in great need of vacuuming/cleaning and washing. We washed one rug from the kitchen due to a spill and there was a significant difference in cleanliness when we placed it next to a matching rug. We appreciate being able to have a large home to make memories in, we would have appreciated better cleaning/maintenance around the house.

If you love nature, seclusion and fantastic views of Lake Michigan, then you will love this house/property! Also, we have rented a lot of VRBOs over the years and typically you’re left with like 2 trash bags, one extra roll of TP, and no other house keeping amenities. These hosts have it all for your stay, which is enormously appreciated and goes a long way IMO. We will definitely be back! Only thing I would note is that the walkway is steeper than it appears in pics and could be an issue for the elderly. Thanks for sharing your amazing home!
