There is no question that this is a beautiful home situated in a breathtaking setting. The views, location, and overall ambiance are exceptional.Unfortunately, my stay ended with a serious accident that raises concerns about property maintenance and guest safety. While using the stairs to go down to the lake, I slipped and fell due to what appeared to be deteriorated and poorly maintained stair conditions. The injuries are severe: a broken ankle in two separate locations along with torn ligaments and tendons. Instead of enjoying the remainder of my vacation, I drove myself to the ER, returned with a splint and prepared to return home for medical treatment. Subsequently I am now facing 8-weeks in a cast as well as a lengthy physical therapy recovery period.A beautiful property should also be a safe property, and I hope the owner takes the necessary steps to inspect, repair, and maintain these stairs before another guest is injured. My intention in sharing this review is not to discourage visitors, but to encourage corrective action and raise awareness of a condition that I believe presents a legitimate safety concern.There are numerous other issues that suggest deferred upkeep. The lock on the deck door does not function properly. The deck itself appeared not to have been maintained for years, and portions of the railing felt loose and unstable. The overall property is simply unkept with clutter throughout the yard, dying plants, as well as a non-functioning deck umbrella. The entrance gate is also severely damaged. Although the beauty of this location and the charm of the small lake house is undeniable, the owner's failure to maintain the property was a distraction from my overall experience.
