The pros: 1) its a great location. Beautiful, quiet, spacious, right on the lake. We saw squirrels, chipmunks, deer, and even a couple bald eagles on the property. 2) Its a hundred year old house with a lot of charm. Huge wraparound porch, oversized trim, attractive paint job, etc. 3) it was quite clean and had a number of extra conveniences. The outside picnic table, fire pit, and paddle boat were all put to good use.
The cons: 1) its a hundred year old house with tiny rooms and some very awkward furnishings. 2) the only bathroom desperately needs gutted. The toilet is tiny and riddled with cracks that worried me. The shower is jerry-rigged, claustrophobic, and disgusting. The sink is little better, and the water tastes like you're licking shale. 3) The appliances are from the Carter administration and the dishes (what few there are) look older still. There was only one decent glass in the place, so we bought some at the Dollar Tree (you're welcome). 4) the wifi never worked and even though we called about it we never heard back and they never fixed it.
We paid a princely sum to rent the place for a week and it really seems like they are not spending any of that money on upkeep. If you're OK with a very dated property to get the location, then go for it.
