We booked late in the season so were happy to get this property and paid more than we had hoped to spend, but seemed like a good value with crystal clear lake, great location and access to kayaks, fire ring, paddle boards, row boat, etc. so felt like we got lucky. There were a few things we wished we had known about the property before booking. The property is a group of cabins and the outdoor spaces/equipment are shared amongst all cabins. This can change the solitude/privacy one might be going for and perhaps our experience was a one-off but the owner and family were present with the other cabins occupied by their family/friends (which were very nice, just unexpectedly changed the feel of being the outsiders). We also wished we knew about and/or were more prepared for the risk of swimmers itch in the lake in advance of arrival as we could have packed accordingly and planned our days for later lake use. Additionally, there were a lot of ants in the kitchen, and understanding that it is not unusual for the “cabin” experience was an added layer of annoyance. The property was clean, otherwise pretty well maintained and had the supplies one would expect for air bnb stay.
