Great place to stay.
The ambiance of the property is very soothing. The weather was perfect. There is a wide open view of the lake. Would love to stay for an entire week.
Beautiful property / Disappointed upon arrival
The cabin was beautiful, we were surprised to find there was an on site property manager. She was very friendly. We were extremely disappointed to find out we were unable to float, boat or swim. We chose this place so our 5 kids could do these activities. The lake is so toxic, we were warned by the folks around town not to even touch the water. I looked on the internet and found further information of high levels of phosphorus and E. Coli along with toxic algae are in the waters which might explain all the dead fish. This has been known for many years and nothing was said prior to the booking. The cabin is cozy, the property was very clean and we had most of what we needed. If you want a pretty view but no water activities, this is the place.
a great place to stay great home & beautiful scenery
The holiday home is wonderful. The home is beautiful the location is peaceful & tranquil. We truly enjoyed our stay
Waterfront
The house had great water views and the caretaker Kay was very accommodating and helpful. However we felt we should have been told prior to booking about the water situation. Upon arrival we found out we could not use the water for drinking or cooking. Also the water odor was so strong we did not feel comfortable using it for anything. It was so sad to see this huge body of water so green with algae and other residues.
Relaxing vacation
Overall we had a good time. There were five of us and the house was a good size. Although the house needs a little attention...a thorough cleaning would help. Also, the "manager" lives on the property above the garage about ten feet from the house which is not mentioned anywhere. She has a rather large dog that seems to have free run of the property. My granddaughter runs around barefoot and luckily she didn't step in the dog's messes. It would be nice to mention all this to renters.
comfy, cozy, quiet, and pretty place to relax.
House was super cute, and property was great. We enjoyed sitting on the patio, and watching the water, birds, and animals play. The beach area had some glass, so I was a little nervous about letting my son play over there. We went and got him wading shoes, and her was good to go. The guys enjoyed being able to walk outside and fish any time they wanted.
The smell, taste, and lingering odor from the house water from the washer, and shower were at times stomach turning. We were told that it was in the works of getting placed on city water soon. We bought water for cooking and drinking. Simple fix for those situations, but you still have to shower, and wash your clothes in it. It is actually a rather small inconvenience for the peacefulness of the location. We would go again for a weekend getaway.
The property manager was a great help, and fun to hang out with.
