Disappointed and Disgusted on 09/02/2010
Cabin 202 was INFESTED with bedbugs at the end of August 2009. The three bedrooms had evedence of bedbugs on the mattresses. The bedbugs were in all stages of life, especially upstairs where my friend and her husband were staying, which meant they had been there for a while. She turned out to be allergic to the bites and that is how we realized there were bedbugs. She ended up in the hospital. After the Orkin man left, the management had all the mattresses removed and taken away in the pick
up truck the following day, but I don't know what became of the couch and furniture, etc.
After 15 years of staying there, and family and friends renting a total of 5+ cabins together the same week in August each year, they refused to refund our money for the one cabin. We were very disapointed in their response to the bedbug infestation. All they did was give me two rolls of quarters to wash ALL my and my husband's clothes and my childrens clothes, but I am the one who had to spend my vacation time doing so. My friend never even got to see the Lake that year since she was sick most of the week. Oh yes, they gave us a different cabin... a filthy one.
I left 2 $50 pillows there and my suitcases. I dropped all of our clothes off at the laundromat on the way home, and nothing entered the house until being in the hot garage for a few days. Knock on wood, I haven't had a problem in my own home.
No nearby bug reports
