Bills Island House
The interior of the house was ok and somewhat cozy and it met our needs. Everything worked but was pretty dated, especially the refrigerator, which was from the 1960s. You open it by pulling down a lever on the outside, which brought back memories of when I was a kid. It worked fine but the light inside was burned out and you had to stuff a rag in the freezer door to keep it shut. What I was really disappointed with was the outside. When we drove up it was raining and the driveway was not paved or graveled, just mud. So the five of us splashed in though the puddles and mud and squished across the floor of the entrance with our wet, muddy shoes. There was also an old riding lawn mower parked right in the front yard by the driveway which was something of an eyesore. But I'm not sure what it was used for because the property, front and back was completely overgrown with weeds, brush, and untrimmed overgrown trees. There was a piece of earth moving equipment parked in back about 100 feet behind the house within the view of the lake and it had dug a furrow from the house down to the lake for some reason. The information provided when we arrived said the house would be torn down and replaced with a new one after this season so I guess the owners had just given up on taking care of it. I can see why they might feel that way but when I'm paying 450 a night, I expect a place to be well maintained inside and out. The dock on the lake was in pretty good shape.
