Everything was excellent, but my only comment is I wish they had turned on the refrigerator before we got there because we brought a lot of food that needed to be refrigerated and it took several hours to cool down. Also a couple of the brick steps walking down to the lake are loose, which could be dangerous. Otherwise the property was great.

Thank you for the five-star review and for the helpful feedback. I’m sorry the refrigerator wasn’t cooled before your arrival and that a couple of brick steps were loose — that shouldn’t have happened. I’ve reported both issues to our team so the fridge will be started before future check-ins and the steps will be secured or repaired. Glad the rest of the stay was great, and thanks for letting us know.

Communication from the property manager was top-notch and super quick.But I will say the parking situation is not accurate and not very clear. If the house holds eight people and the driveway barely fits one and a half cars you have no other option or any other place to put the other vehicles, which causes a lot of headaches and too much running around to shuffle vehicles and people. The inside the house was perfectly clean and well put together.The outside of the house back patio was an absolute mess. It looks like it wasn’t taken care of all summer than all of a sudden landscaping crew shows up the day that we’re trying to hang out on the patio to do weed whacking and pull weeds. I don’t believe this is worth the value because we really didn’t use the outside because of how dirty and messy it was.

Great stay

The house was beautiful with a great view of the lake. The house was clean and as advertised! It was cold during our stay so we didnt get to enjoy the lake but the indoor fireplace and board games were great. Easy to get to and i would definitely stay again when we’re at the lakes. The host was very responsive to questions and loved the extra touch of the coffee bar.
