Disliked: Cleanliness

Not the cleanest. Toilets were not completely clean. Refrigerator also. Dead bugs on window sills and lots of cob webs outside. Nice patio in back could not be used because not clean and old, dirty furniture. Shame cause could be a nice patio. Front porch same condition as back patio! Place smelled of mildew and carpets were disgusting/stains. Only saving grace was location but probably won’t do VRBO again.

Great place for a November weekend

Cozy place for the 2 of us. Lots to see and do nearby-hiking, lighthouses and the beach. We enjoyed the Orchard for drinks (the Coop) and later for dinner. Melissa was very responsive and gave us good directions on the house.

We had a great time at the house. The location was perfect since we were there to fish. Weather was beautiful and the lake was calm enough to fish both days.
