Communication with the owner was absolutely wonderful. Location was just so perfect; close to the lake, national park and state park. Restaurants nearby also was a benefit. The backyard was our favorite part - nice big pool and deck; well maintained, enclosed porch when it rained, outside table for meals on the deck. Our kids were always in the pool; really comfortable chairs by the pool. In our case we wished the 2nd bathroom was upstairs; or a bedroom was downstairs, but we made it work just fine. Overall house was just like a regular ranch home; I would say there were small things that needed "touched up" like paint etc, chairs which broke, but it really did fit all of our needs just fine. We would use it again just for that great pool !!!
