This house was what we needed at the specific time in our three-week trip after hotels and B&Bs; a quiet home to ourselves in a real neighborhood, a kitchen we could use, and a washer to catch up on laundry. It had the basics, but not much more. We would have appreciated a coffee maker, table lamps on both side of the bed (since we are both readers). The furnishings could do with an update, and the arrival instructions need a bit more specificity (e.g. the front door is on the left side of the house, open the lower panel on the alarm pad to turn it off, the heater is a splitter on the living room ceiling), but we made do and even after a day we felt quite at home. Again, the fees of the lake are astounding and inspiring, and the house - ideal for active families with kids - felt quite comfortable. We would stay there again.
