Beautiful Home, BUT A Few Things You Should Know First, let me start by saying that the house itself is absolutely beautiful. It is spacious, comfortable, has plenty of sleeping space! We had everything we needed for a great vacation, and there is a lot to love about this property. With a few improvements and some basic maintenance addressed. Now, with that said…since this is a vacation rental review, I think it is important to share the good, the bad, and the smell! The WATER: The rotten-egg smell coming from INSIDE was, without question, the most unpleasant part of our stay. Once the hot water was turned on, the entire house immediately smelled like a science experiment that had been left unattended. I’m not exaggerating when I say the smell was STRONG. It made us uncomfortable drinking the water, showering in it, and bathing in it. Turning on the hot water essentially became an exercise in deciding how badly you actually needed a shower. The Outdoor Area and Dock: The lake was one of the major reasons we selected this property, so access to the outdoor area and dock was important to us. Unfortunately, the path leading toward the dock was extremely overgrown. The stairs were also in rough condition and, more importantly, did not have handrails. The Hot-tub: never worked correctly. Despite these issues, we want to emphasize that there were many things we genuinely liked about the property.
