Space was certainly not an issue with this house. Plenty of bedrooms and living space. Lots of towels. Stunning property, with 30 acres on what looks like one of the highest spots on the lake. Very long 1/3-mile driveway, but it was cleared before we got up on the morning after a six-inch snowfall. I can see where this would be a great summer get-away for a large family or group.
The house has a lot of character, and it seems like stepping into the sixties. Could use some new updates, especially the kitchen. Some in our group complained a little about a musty odor. It was very prevalent in the basement. We also noticed some mouse traps.
We were suprised to find the refrigerator and freezer so full. There were many spoilable condements in the fridge, and we had to move them outside so we could have enough room for our food.
We wished we had another shower. Nobody used the basement shower because it did not look very clean. Plenty of hot water. We never ran out. There were two large bathrooms upstairs with showers.
Individual heat controls in the upstairs bedrooms were a plus.
We were puzzled by the absence of any electrical outlets in the half-bath off of the bedroom downstairs. Had to run an extension cord for a blow drier.
There was plenty of fire wood, and we had a good fire every night.
Enjoyed the stereo, which we hooked to an IPOD.
We had a couple of kids in our group for a night, and they enjoyed the toys in the enclosed porch.
All-in-all, we had a good experience, and will consider renting it again. I recommend this to large groups, but understand that this is not modern luxury. It is comfortable and quirky; a big old-time cottage that can be a lot of fun.
