Sonya was fantastic to deal with and patiently answered all of my family's questions! The house is quite remote and very peaceful, with lots of deer roaming ! The views of the lake are amazing & we all loved our stay. We were 3 couples and 2 children. The adults each had their own room and bathroom and the kids had a pull out in the TV room which has a door to close off from the kitchen/living room, which was great because the adults could stay up at night without disturbing the children.
The downside was that none of the tables were for 8, so we had to add patio chairs to the corners of the outdoor table and the indoor dining table is very small. It wasn't a huge issue for us, but a larger dining table and on the deck with the view would be perfect! We were able to make it work fine as we had 2 children in our group, but 8 adults would make it tight.
The beds were all comfortable and although the house isn't modern, it was very clean and the bathrooms upstairs have all been modernized. Tons of storage space, great walk-in closets upstairs. The bedroom on the main level is small &the main level bathroom is dated, but all fully functional. There are lots of outdoor patio chairs which was perfect for us as we spend lots of time on the big deck overlooking the lake! Another lounger would be perfect though!
The amenities list should include hairdryers, no dvd player, but cable/Netflix&some beach towels so that people don't need to ask. There were lots of bath towels too. Unfortunately, there were no full-length mirrors in the house, so for anyone renting to go to a wedding or event, this could be an issue.
The house is close to some beaches, but the closest one we went to was actually private and the owner asked us where we had come from as he never sees people there usually?! We walked a little further down the road where it said "beach access" but there was no beach, only rocks/lake access, which was ok for us as we just wanted to go swimming, but take note if you're looking for a place that is walking distance to a beach as this property is driving distance to nice beaches, but not walking. The lake is fantastic to swim in!
Overall it was a great stay and we definitely recommend the house. There's lots of space for a group to not be on top of each other and be able to relax in separate areas, both inside & out. Thank you Sonya!
p.s I'd love to see the house come with instructions for recycling to encourage all guests to recycle properly
