Clean space, beautiful location, good value for a friend group or famlies. The hists were very accommodating and were available to answer any of our questions in time. We really liked the stay we had for one night at this location, the fireplaces and heating were working great and kept us really cozy.

My group made the best of our stay. We were able to check in with ease, but was totally disappointed once we got into the place. It was very dirty, cob webs everywhere, floors were disgusting(our feet were black) and wet towels were just thrown on top of the washing machine. We barley had enough toilet paper for 10 people and had go buy our own. Also, the dining table that’s picture is not even remotely the same one as pictured. It was replaced by a coffee table.Not to mention, we reached out about our issues and were told the host was going to stop by to fix some issues, but never showed up and just stopped replying to my messages.On the positive side, the location of place was awesome, the outside property was decent for a lake day. The water toys were a nice touch. The beds were super comfy.There is no ac either which is stated in the listing, they provide lots of fans. Beautiful sunsets!

It was a nice place, a bit old, we could not open windows or doors it had no nets hard old and squeegee to open, it would get hot and humid in the evening. Otherwise very nice comfortable spacious enough for a group of 10. Quiet and private. Slightly over priced.

When we arrived multiple beds had been slept in, three out of five rooms had dirty towels strewn, dishes in the sink/ dishwasher Also mouse poop in all the sinks Floors dirty, deck full of leaves, all chair cushions left outside and soaked/ unusable.Most things were broken / almost broken.Some ceiling fans needed remotes to function and the remotes didn't have batteries.Multiple windows didn't function, NO A/C!!!Floors were very old and caused tripping hazards. In the bunk house the hot water didn't work. The water toys were stored up right and completely water logged. Unusable.Fridge door handle loose, all cabinets doors lose or unaligned. And I was told 8 men could sleep there and there were only 7 beds. One had to use the couch.After I mentioned all of this to the host the compensation they offered was a later checkout. They sent cleaners who arrived three hours after check in, we could not use the space untill 7 pm. Over all not a good experience.Be weary of this place, quite overpriced if you ask me.
