Fabulous ski getaway!

We had a great time at the Unsalted Mermaid! 3 families from school enjoyed the spacious home, played games, explored the outside space with walkie talkies, had a cool kids-only bunk room, each parent had their own bedroom, and it was less than 20 minutes from skiing and tubing at Schuss Mountain. Everyone is counting down the days until we can return.

Great place to stay for a big group

This VRBO was perfect for our group! There was plenty of room and the sleeping situation was the best I’ve had for a group over 10 people. The only thing I would knock on it is the trip down to the lake. If you prepare to head down though you can be set by the water for hours. The view on the lake at sunset was the highlight of the property! Would 100% recommend!

Family vacation

House and property were as advertised. Tracey was very responsive to any needs. The lake itself was not very crowded, which made it great for watersports. The distance from the lake was not an issue for us due to elevated walkway. The only negative for me was that the bass fishing was very difficult, as it appeared the lake was sprayed for weeds, which can't be controlled by Tracey! The kids loved the zip line and seeing deer and turkey often. Overall, it was great for 3 generations from age 2 to 65 and we would love to return!

Exactly as listing depicts!

We had a great time at the unsalted mermaid. The best part of the house was all the amenities it offered. With the lake, kayaks, games, and volleyball court, there was plenty to do and keep everyone amused for an extended family vacation. The kitchen was well stocked, and there were plenty of beds for all 14 of us to sleep comfortably. The house was represented well in the listing, and the pictures do the house justice. We loved that there were chairs everywhere so that we did not have to move extra chairs downstairs or to the dock. There were a few chairs that were broken down by the dock. But it wasn’t a big deal as there were so many other chairs to use. We really appreciated that there was already a wood pile there to build a fire so we didn’t even have to run out and find wood. Temperature in the upstairs room was definitely an issue as we could not cool the house more without freezing out the downstairs. Tracey did provide multiple fans and we were able to keep the room cooler with windows open as the temperature went into the 50s at night. However, I could see how it would be difficult to sleep up there when it’s a particularly hot week. Overall, we loved the lake and had a fantastic family vacation there. We would absolutely stay again. Thank you, Tracey, for taking care of the property so well, and for all the communication so that our check-in and checkout could go smoothly.
