The view and utilization of the lake was amazing, and that's kind of where the good stops.
This was my first EVER getaway for just me, and first personal experience using this site. I had messaged Gary earlier in the day letting him know my approximate time of arrival, and asked a question (no reply). I ended up arriving sooner than anticipated and saw that there were two vehicles in the driveway, as well as a pop-up trailer. I messaged Gary again asking if I'd be blocking someone in. After waiting 10-15minutes with no reply, I followed the path up to where I'd be saying. I heard voices, so I knocked. Their son was in the room and said he was told my reservation was canceled. After about 10minutes, he was able to "clear things up" and was going to prepare the room again. 45minutes later, I finally get into the room. PLEASE NOTE: THIS ROOM IS ABOVE THE HOST'S HOME AND THERE IS A NEIGHBOR VERY CLOSE AS WELL.
It is smaller than pictures portray...one room with a couple chairs, a very firm bed, a loveseat, and a kitchenette. The deck is not screened in, but does have safety rails and glass to protect from falling. The wifi is spotty at best. Little bit of a trek to get to the dock, on an incline that may not be great for people with really bad joints (my knees aren't great, but didn't have much issue)
Joy came by about an hour after my arrival with toiletpaper, papertowels, and a couple treats. She had apologized profusely, and was nice.
After enjoying a day on the lake, I was winding down for the evening when a VERY pungent smell (drug/skunk/sewage?) started wafting into the room (only 1 window was open). It instantly gave me a headache to the point I packed my things and left.
Overall, not an amazing experience. I personally, will not be returning. This was supposed to be a getaway for self care and mental reset...having people on the same property was not what I envisioned.
