This property was all we could ask for in a place for 5 of us to spend Christmas. The property was well described online. It was very clean and had all the amenities we needed. It even had a small Christmas tree and a board on the kitchen counter stating Merry Christmas. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and appliances. The furniture was comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
a few dead bugs and areas that had not been swept in awhile...bed mattresses were pretty hard to sleep on...a little to firm for our group..convenient to stores and restaurants

Disliked: Listing accuracy
Very nice home that was fully stocked. Unfortunately there is no water in the canal. I'm not sure if it's due to a drought or it was damned up but it is only full of overgrown vegetation. The listing should be updated to reflect this. The water in the second bath sink did not work. The guest house smelled so bad that we couldn't use it. Not sure if it was from being closed up for a long time but it did have spiders and cobwebs inside.
We booked this property for a family getaway specifically because it was heavily advertised as a "waterfront home." The main listing photo shows a beautiful fire pit area right on the water. Unfortunately, the reality of the property is completely different.Upon arrival, instead of water, we found a dried-up, unmaintained ditch entirely overgrown with tall weeds. When we reached out to the host regarding this, they simply pointed to a hard-to-find note in the listing about "seasonal access." However, a neighbor informed us that the water barely reaches a foot deep these days, which is why the area has been abandoned and left to overgrow. To make matters worse, we weren't provided access to the POA park, leaving us with absolutely no water access for our entire trip. It felt like a scam.The sleeping arrangements were also unacceptable. The advertised "3rd bedroom" is actually a detached utility room. It lacks proper ventilation and smelled so bad that no one in our family felt comfortable sleeping there. We ended up having people sleep on the floor in the living room instead.To be fair and highlight the positives: the home does feature a fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable, spacious living room.
The home was spacious and the owners thought of everything you would need for a stay. The outdoor deck and firepit are an added bonus. Although the lake is a bit low at the moment it was a wonderful outdoor view. comfy beds, living room and local places to visit if you desire or just hang around the home with corners for each person to read, do a puzzle, watch a show or nap..
This is a great property! Clean, spacious and very comfy! Great spot to stay for a quick run to Canton. Would be a great place in summer for convenience to lake. Host was extremely easy to work with. Highly recommend!
