We booked this and held a small lakeside wedding ceremony, for our daughter. The views of the lake are beautiful. We would love to stay here again. We had some older (70- & 90-Year-Old) people with us, and we were concerned about potential falls because there was not proper railing on the stairs both indoors and outdoors. I highly suggest the owners install railings soon. There are plenty of towels & kitchen utensils available. It was clean and comfortable. The hot tub on the deck was very nice. Wear shoes on the lake shore as we had one guest who was cut on the foot by broken glass in the lake shore.

The upstairs bedroom next to the master has a very uncomfortable bed. The mattress should be replaced. There was a missing screen on an upstairs window so it could not be opened therefore it was very hot. No outlets in the master bathroom. Broken lock on downstairs bathroom door. Not enough toilet paper. The coffee pot was incredibly dirty and clogged and didn’t work.
