This was a lovely, old, wood-frame original lake house. It had lots of character with slanting wood floors and a nice front porch with a partial lake view. The house was very clean and smelled wonderful (had nice scented plug ins). The main bedroom was very pretty with nice, soothing decor and a very comfortable queen bed. The kitchen was large and well-equipped. There is a large back deck with a table and chairs and gas grill.
The issue was the location. The house is across the street from a bar, The Big House, that has an outdoor concert venue. It was not hot when we were at the house but we turned on the air conditioner in the bedroom to try and drown out the sound of the band playing at the bar (it was a Saturday night). The next day (Sunday), bands started at noon and you could hear them loudly from the house's front porch. In addition, you are also across the street from the boardwalk and arcade. You can here the bells ringing as people win in the arcade. The back deck of the house backs up to the back of the row of take out restaurants on the boardwalk so you hear the exhaust fans from the restaurants. Being this close to the boardwalk and everything going on on Weirs Beach might be attractive for some (you are a quick walk to the nice, sand, swimming beach), but it was not for us. It was a very cozy, attractive, historic home in what we felt was a really unfortunate location.
