60 th birthday family get together
As advertised, the property is well located, beautiful views, peaceful and quiet. The owner, Donna responded very quickly to our questions and made the check in process very easy. She even offered us to use the game room for free as a birthday present. She seemed very nice, even though we did not meet her.
However, When we arrived, the dishwasher was fully loaded with dishes that had grown mold on them. I tried to turn it on, but it was not working. I texted Donna and she told me that it should be working. She sent instructions, but it still did not work. We gave up.
There were also spiders and dead bugs in the house and under the beds. I suspect we were the first renters of the year.
As soon as we arrived, we had to hose the boats down and we had to beat the outdoor cushions for bugs and dust.
Otherwise the house is well equipped, even though outdated.
There was a lack of curtains in the bedrooms, but we invested in a few sleep masks and made it work.
I usually do not give reviews, but I was very disappointed with the work we had to do as soon as we arrived to make the place look clean before the rest of the family showed up.
I will admit though that after the initial workload, we did enjoy our stay: we fished, saw turtles, hiked, swam, kayaked and canoed...the connection with nature is amazing and we really enjoyed it. Even though the yard and landscaping are beautiful, I feel our stay could have been better, if we had not felt that initial disappointment
