Host communication was prompt and professional. The house adequately accommodated our family of 7 and a toddler. Please note to check lake conditions! In July ‘26, the lake is very low which affects access from the dock and it was very rocky by land. We were able to dock a pontoon, but we had to jump down from the platform, which was a bit scary. The drive on water from Bridgewater Marina is about 15 minutes. The kitchen is well stocked, including cleaning supplies and baggies/foil type products. the beds are comfy and clean. As stated in the description- the water pressure fluctuates and at times we had no water pressure upstairs in the loft; showering is one person at a time. The living room is rather small for more than 5 people to sit and visit at once; photos are a bit deceptive about that. The cul de sac is very quiet and peaceful and remote. The view is great, but the deck needs some attention. The host generously provides kayaks and water play stuff as described in the listing. My sons enjoyed some fishing, and we got attached to “Sharon the Heron” (we named her). She seems to be the house protector. Overall, the house is cozy and comfortable, but think circa 1996 grandmas house vibes. A deep cleaning and some updates are needed. If you want pristine luxury, then this is not your place. If you want peaceful and cozy, then you will enjoy it.
