Okay House

The deck was essentially unusable because of the unstable boards popping out. The beds are incredibly uncomfortable. Overall, it did not feel like it was recently cleaned.

This home has been newly renovated and was very clean. The lake is great and fishing was good. We were very surprised to find that the 2 bedrooms upstairs did not contain the queen beds as noted on VRBO. They were only full size. To verify I was not mistaken I even checked the size of the sheets, they were full size and fit perfectly. With the stairs being somewhat narrow, it might be noteworthy to add to the property description that the kitchen is downstairs. The area was very peaceful.

Girls Trip

The house was clean and looked like the pictures. There were 3 of us and we didn’t spend much time inside the house, but we all slept comfortably. It took us a little bit to get used to the kitchen being downstairs

Not typically a review leaver unless theres reason. And i think this house calls for it. Firts the pros- location, price, super friendly property manager, gentle slope from the driveway to the dock, the house was relatively clean.Now the cons- first and foremost the DECK- DO NOT GO ON THE DECK! Ill try and include some pictures of the deck, there was a spot in the middle that sagged a good 5 inches than the rest if the deck. The boards are so splintered and coming up its just a death trap. I cant believe the owners leave it the way it is. Luckily because of the next con we never had a use for the deck any ways. The layout of the house is definitely different. Kitchen and master bedroom and a dinning room are on the basment level with a walkout. The stairs going down to the basement are very narrow and steep.There are no drapes in the place. So hopefully you like getting up with the sun rise. Even the bathroom upstairs lacked a proper drape for it being a bathroom with a clear shot out the window.The beds are absolutely terrible. And the beds are on rollers on a hard floor so it moves all around. There was 3 coffee makers. 2 had moldy brown water in the reservoir. Luckily the 3rd looked brand new. I assume abother person staying there brought it becsuse they wouldnt use those other nasty ones.The kitchen was minimally stocked. We had to get very creative to make a meal chickan kabobs. Overall we would not stay here again.

Great house, great location

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was awesome, spacious and fit all of us very well. We also loved the kayaks that came with the house. Will definitely come back again. A few minor comments for things that could be improved: two of the beds could be replaced, the bathroom needs a lock, would be nice to have shampoo and soap.
