My family was in search of a place to vacation together, away from crowds and health risks. We wanted to be on the lake with a yard and plenty of space. This home met all of our needs - it is spacious, well taken care of, and in a beautiful area.
Joe was very helpful answering any questions we had ahead of time, gave us a brief tour and orientation when we arrived, and responded to a couple of questions we had while staying there. They also had a little guide put together including area attractions, maps (including a route to take for a nice walk), and reminders on how to use some of the amenities (covered during orientation, such as how to restart the modem if the WiFi quits working).
A couple of things to share for future renters:
1. Other reviews have commented on a lack of parking space. They’re not wrong, but we were able to park one car in the garage, and two in the driveway when we arranged the cars carefully. Joe had also pointed out a place we could have put a car across the street if necessary.
2. The water is filtered and we were assured it was good for drinking. A comment I want to leave is that it is also softened water. If that’s a flavor you’re used to and enjoy, then you won’t have any issues. We opted to buy bottled water for our stay.
3. The upstairs bathroom is accessible from the hallway as well as the master bedroom. This was a huge plus for us, since the 3 adults staying upstairs NOT in the master didn’t want to have to go downstairs in the middle of the night if necessary.
4. Other reviews also mentioned lack of space in the kitchen for putting food. This is accurate. The fridge and freezer are large, and were able to hold all of our cold items. But nearly everything else we brought was arranged on the counter, in front of the fireplace, and in the tubs we brought it in. The flip side of that is that the kitchen is well stocked with just about anything you could imagine needing.
5. There are a couple big trees out front to give shade to the yard even when the sun is directly overhead. There is also plenty of space in the yard that is in full sun if that’s what you’re looking for.
Aside from these few notes, we had no complaints and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Our party consisted of myself and my partner; my teenage daughter and her friend; my brother, his partner, and their daughter; and our mother. Ages ranged from 2 - 69 and every one of us loved staying here!
