What more can I say? This house was great & exactly what I was looking for. So peaceful & it was nice to be disconnected from the world for a couple days.
The house is beautiful. There is a ton of space & very deceiving from outside. From the 4 bedrooms (w/ 5 beds), finished lower level, vaulted ceilings in the open floor plan, 2 full baths, & a great 4-season room, you will never run out of space. The house has been updated & is very clean. It also has a perfect blend of modernization & rustic flair - utilizing older characteristics like games, movies, organ, & accessories blended with updated kitchen, appliances, TV's, bathrooms, & finishes.
The outside is nice as well. A useful carport, which works well if it is raining (or snowing), with entrance directly into house. There is a decent yard for entertaining - along with a propane grill for cooking on the deck in the back yard. There is also a deck on the front, off the Living Room, overlooking the lake. The lake is across the street, but owners have a deeded space & their own dock on the water. We had full use of the paddle boat, canoe, & kayaks. Everything you need to go out on the water. We had access to their shed which is full of life vests, floats, games, & anything else needed for a great time on the water. The lake was so peaceful. There were not a lot of people around & we were the only ones on the water at a couple points - hanging out with all the ducks & loons.
The area is nice and quiet. We met a couple of the neighbors & they were so nice & accepting. Be aware, there is hardly any cell phone service around here. I had two phones (verizon & T-mobile) & neither was able to get any consistent signal. We were the first to rent the house from the owners & wifi had not been installed yet - so communication with the outside world was spotty. I actually really enjoyed this & it was nice to be cut off for a couple days. Down the street, we were able to get signals - so you don't have to go far. There is also a land line in the house for local calls & emergencies. Once the wifi is set up, most people with have no problems.
Lastly, the owners were great. I get nervous renting because you never know what the response will be & some of these units you are putting down a lot of money. David was amazing. Emails answered within minutes & left phone # to contact. We talked & you could tell he was excited to rent out the house. Wish all owners were like him. Thanks & can't wait to go back.
