Good inexpensive place for family

For the most part I liked the place. It did however actually need to be cleaned better. Laundry in the washer and dryer that was welt and had some mildew on it. The Coffee pots really needed to be deep cleaned which my brother in-law did. Some of the dishes were dirty and needed cleaned. We did see a few safety items that should really be taken care of. One of the deck chairs really needed to be thrown away, it was one bad sit down away from a lawsuit maybe fall into the fire pit. There are dead ash trees with limbs falling down by the docks. The lint trap was crammed full (fire hazard), my brother in-law noticed this and cleaned it out before something bad happened. Finally the big sliding door on the 2nd level does not appear to be fully attached as we noticed it would slide out some if you used much outward force while opening the sliding door. The big door looked like it needed finished so we assumed it just wasn't finished. Comfort wise the place was pretty good, upstairs was a bit hot, the master bedroom bed was really soft which made for some lack of sleep. All in all though for the budget it's worth it just be aware of these few items. I'd wager other places at the lake cost at least twice the price. We enjoyed our stay and hanging out at the campfire having smores in the evenings.

Lake house fun

Jill was great in accommodating us even with last minute issues. The kids enjoyed paddle boat, air hockey table and foosball. There was enough space for all and enough sitting space inside and out.
