On A Whim #65 [1]
Beautiful Home and Setting!
Reviewed on 2022-08-18 by Sue R. , Bellevue, WA United StatesWe LOVED our stay at On a Whim! It was the perfect spot for 10 ladies to celebrate a milestone birthday. The house was clean, spacious and well appointed. The deck was perfect for morning coffee, meals, games and chats! Excellent customer service from the manager. We would highly recommend On a Whim and look forward to coming back. The location and view were both amazing and we enjoyed all the amenities that the Lookout offers.

Great house!
Reviewed on 2022-06-30 by Chantel G. , Ferndale, WA United StatesGreat house with great views. We would have loved to have more toilet paper, paper towels, and dishwashing tabs. Especially for the price of the house we shouldn’t have to worry about those things while on vacation. The sheet on the master bedroom bed also did not fit and would slide off every night. Other than those things it was a great house with plenty of room!

Over priced
Reviewed on 2022-06-14 by Thomas T. , Grand Junction, CO United StatesContacted office many times but none of the above was ever corrected.
Many things didn't work. Missing items. Many rules that we followed but not enforced on others so parking was impossible. Beautiful spot. No privacy on decks and noise from neighbors was extreme.<br/>Contacted office many times but none of the above was ever corrected.

Very Nice Home
Reviewed on 2021-12-14 by , Bellevue, WA United StatesWe enjoyed our stay and had a very nice time . The home location was perfect. The house had everything we needed and was in great condition . We loved all the light from the big windows. Had fun sitting on the deck all bundled up and watched the Holiday Fireworks display they had in town . Only downside for us was the Master Bed. We did not even sleep in the master due to the bed being so uncomfortable. It is a foam mattress and that was the one downside to our visit . We would like to return to the house but not sure due to the one bed . Other beds were fine. Couches were very comfortable and loved the fireplace.

Reviewed on 2021-10-28 by , REDMOND, WA United StatesThis house was really fantastic! It had great space and very clean. Location was amazing, loved the outdoor deck even though we didn't really get to use it because of the weather. The unobstructed view of the lake was wonderful! Plenty of bedrooms and baths for our group of 7 ladies. Plus w nice size livingroom areas, one upstairs and one down. I would rent here again!

Amazing View in the Lookout
Reviewed on 2021-09-15 by , Newcastle, WA United StatesThis house has an amazing view. It's one of only a handful of houses on the bluff with unobstructed 180 degree views of the lake. Simply amazing. The house is also nice - clean and well furnished. The umbrella for the outdoor dining table was there when we stayed in June, but gone in August. That was nice to have for meals outside. Unfortunately, the dishwasher broke on the second day of a 10 day stay. With a family of four, that was really difficult. They did bring us a tiny counter top one, but it was very hard to do our dishes. Gnats were also a huge problem. We could open the door (or the nana wall) at all because too many gnats would come in. I put out apple cider vinegar, and it had a 1/2 inch of dead gnats by the time we left. But that's an issue with Chelan in general in August. The house and view are overall fantastic though.
Views, beautiful home and delightful neighborhood
Reviewed on 2021-08-10 by , Seattle, WA United StatesWe had a wonderful stay at On a Whim. This rental home is the perfect combination of class and cozy. Everything is quality: from the living room furniture, the beautiful dining room table right through to the beds and bedding: all very high quality. Two living areas: one where the kids could watch TV and play board games and the main level living area with that beautiful mesmerizing view. The outdoor living is exceptional. We also loved the marina area and made use of their jet ski rental: very simple and straight forward process. We loved the neighborhood's walkability and loved walking to the Bistro for dinner and to the coffeeshop at the pool. We made use of the pools and hot tub and it was very pleasant and family oriented. There was a firepit with tools for Smores. The developers thought of everything! One of our best vacations. We LOVED LOVED our stay and hope to be back.

ON A WHIM REVIEW
Reviewed on 2021-07-26 by Jodi R. , Marysville, WA United StatesWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house and the Lookout. A couple of issues at the house that we would like the owner to be aware of: the heating/cooling system did now work properly. We froze at night upstairs (blowing cold air) and one night I had to sleep on the main floor. We reported the issue and it was looked at but we were told they needed to reach the owners to fix the problem. The main floor never cooled down. The downstairs was very cool too. The Net control adjustments were temporary. We did not try to heat it up using the ductless system. A new coffee maker is needed. The home lacked large serving trays, basic utensils, and dishes (bowls).
Spacious Home with A View
Reviewed on 2021-06-08 by , Seattle, WA United StatesOverall our stay was very pleasant. The home is in a good location (close to shuttle to waterfront and pool) with great views. Home well furnished and in good condition. We especially loved the spacious deck and cozy furniture. Property management was adequate. Sometimes had difficulty reaching office and often went to voicemail. Would have loved it if the management provided a few more dishwasher pods and garbage bags for a 5 night stay where we predominantly cooked at home.
Great as expected
Reviewed on 2021-05-01 by Joe B. , Seattle, WA USThis view was spectacular. The deck was great and I was very pleased by all the kitchen supplies. I love to cook.
