Beautiful lake view, but safety & maintenance concerns. Lakeview Haven has a beautiful setting, and my family enjoyed being together, but future guests should know a few things first.Safety: We found a locked gun safe in the downstairs kitchenette, accessible to my 13-year-old nephew and other kids in our group (ages 7–12). We moved it ourselves to a separate room and told the host. It shouldn’t have been left somewhere accessible to children. We also had a bear come close to the house one early morning — guests should be prepared for wildlife.Maintenance: The hot tub’s control panel showed the water change was overdue by 254 days.Layout: One bedroom is in a separate structure with no attached bathroom — using it overnight means walking outside, which felt riskier given the bear activity.Condition: A bed had structurally bent legs and was unsupportive. Part of the living room floor had visible air bubbles. Furniture and bedding were low quality. One toilet sat so close to the wall it was uncomfortable to use.Note: The host asked directly for a 5-star review, stating anything less “is treated as a sign the stay was not good enough” and can “significantly affect small businesses and homeowners like us.” Tying honesty to their finances felt coercive. I’m leaving an honest account instead — future guests deserve accurate information.
