We were very disappointed by this house. It is not actually a four bedroom. One of the bedrooms is just a loft that leads to a closed off separate bedroom on the 3rd floor. The fully stocked kitchen was missing some key items. It did have an obscene amount of coffee cups (taking up the majority of the cupboards) but it was missing measuring cups and baking sheets/pans among other things. I am used to having mixed/matched things in rental kitchens but they have always had at least 1 measuring cup and 1 baking sheet/pan. We ended up having to buy those and just left them there. Misleading pictures were taken from such an angle that it does not show that there is a street in between the house and the stairs down to the dock. The stairs to the dock are unsafe and poorly maintained. Listing mentioned a communal pool; I can only guess that was referencing the lake.

The house is very haphazardly "maintained". The oven was held together by duct tape. The washing machine took hours to complete 1 load because the water was just trickling in. The handle for clothes dryer was a metal hanger. The house was overall dirty/dusty upon our arrival. The jetted bathtub was scary/dirty. I could keep going, but that wouldn't leave any room for what is by far the most infuriating part of our stay.

We rented the boat from the “third party” mentioned on the listing. This “boat” was in horrible condition, but we figured it would give us the benefit of having the boat outside Marina hours. We unfortunately assumed that the boat worked. The battery was dead upon our arrival and there was no rope for the anchor among many other things. After wasting the majority of our first day waiting for Ricky to deliver a battery jump pack, we discovered that the battery couldn't hold a charge anyways after wasting hours at a Marina waiting for the battery to charge. Our second day of the rental ended after we died in the middle of the lake and had to be towed back. We asked for a refund because our only two days with this boat were headache-filled to say the least. We were only given a partial refund because that “was only fair”. What would have been fair was to have an operational boat!

I recommend renting from the Marinas. It is more than worth the money. We rented from various marinas the rest of our trip and we should have done that that from the beginning. First, the boats actually worked. Not to mention, they boats were much newer and didn’t guzzle gasoline.
