Quintessentially sweet but needs some TLC
This place is booked solid all summer for many good reasons: it’s on a beautiful part of the lake, affordable, very accessible, tons of parking, big lawn, close to town if you need stuff, has FOUR bedrooms plus a daybed on the porch, and it accepts pets! Our dogs loved it. It’s clean and cute as a button inside for the most part but it has some drawbacks. First off, the back porch windows and screens need a major overhaul, they are falling off/apart, need new tracks, we struggled to fix them all week, my husband is handy, but it was a headache. The shoreline is so overgrown with shrubs that there is no beachfront for wading, the stairs to the water and dock are old, rickety, narrow and more than a little dangerous especially, at night keep your wits about you. There’s no dishwasher which I expected but also there were no basic amenities like dishsoap, paper towels, TP, not even salt and pepper. Also Bring fans if you want to stay cool as no A/C, we had to make a Walmart run. Need to bring your own bed linens and towels too. There was Bare minimum in kitchen plates, cups, utensils, etc…we made do fine but luckily we brought our own wine opener. ;-) Bathroom is tiny. I found myself saying “quintessential” a lot, it is such a sweet and homey place but just needs a bit of TLC. However our “kids” are in their 20s now and everybody felt comfortable and made the best of it. Views are really awesome and we enjoyed some nice campfires and made new memories together. Thank you!!
