Nice home- some maintenance needed

Overall we were very happy with the Loons Nest accommodations and we had a good week. The home is nice with some good amenities. The large kitchen is definitely a plus (as our family loves to cook). We appreciated having the dishwasher, microwave and toaster oven as well as the regular oven. It was also nice to have a washer and dryer in the home. The refridgerator/freezer has good space, however the ice maker did not work at all. The path to the lake is nice and we enjoyed using the pontoon. We were a bit disappointed about the condition of the water and the fact that we were unable to swim off the dock d/t weeds and poor water condition. We were also disappointed that there was no boat landing/access to the lake. I should have clarified this during our phone conversation prior to our arrival that the boat access was for the chain of lakes, not Tambling. The issues we noted during our stay are as follows: Futon leg (on the large futon) is broken Futon chair (closest to the front door) seems to be broken- it did not sit correctly The screen door off the dining area is ripped Toilet in the master bedroom uses warm water- we have never heard of that before and are wondering if it was connected wrong. When the seat is left down, the warm water causes condensation on the seat… thus a wet seat when you sit down. The toilet seat in the master bedroom was broke and my husband fixed it (it would slide side to side when someone sat down). Toilet near the main room was running constantly every time it was flushed- my cousin fixed this while we were there. Air conditioning did not work- no air flow through the vents. When we used the pontoon the first time it had not been cleaned- we had to wipe it down before using. Also the gas and oil were low and we filled both during the week. The cover for the pontoon is torn and was rolled up in a ball on the pontoon. Propane tank for the grill was only half full when we arrived with no back up tanks. Although we didn’t use all of the half tank, we bought a new one to leave at the home Numerous light bulbs burned out inside the home and outside. We replaced these during our stay. My husband fixed a light bulb ring in the kitchen as it had no light bulb in it and the ring was hanging out. We did enjoy our week overall. However, most people don't want to perform any "rountine household maintenance" during vacation and want a clean, well maintained environment.

We have stayed at the Loon's Nest in the Fall, Winter and Summer months. The House is very clean and has all that we needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. The crystal clear lake is an extremely calming place to sit by on the dock or in the pontoon. I love taking long walks through the woods. And if you like good food and shopping, Eagle River has it all. If you are a crosscountry skiier or snowmobiler, this is the place to go. And when you get home from your winter activities, you can relax by the crackling fire. We love it and will be back again soon.
