We rate rentals on a 1 to 10 scale (5 is average, 10 is perfect) based on the following:

• location - proximity to the lake, ease of getting to the rental or resort by boat and car, and the general area
• staffing and service - is the staff helpful, friendly, and dedicated to making your stay pleasurable. If the rental is a house, we base this rating on talking to or from meeting the owner
• nearby activities - when you stay here, what's nearby to see and do and are there some good places to eat and party
• cleanliness and attention to detail - the place doesn't have to be immaculate, but we would like it neat and clean
• condition - is everything brand new or was it built in the 20's and has been heavily used since then
• amenities - outside of a bed for sleeping, what else is there to keep us busy on the property
• beauty - do we have view of the lake or the back of a building
• peace and quite - are we communicating with nature or listening to big rigs cruising the freeway and trains going up and down the tracks
• rates and value - is this rental going to cost us a years salary or is it a real bargain - for what you get is it a good value or a rip off
