PROS: Right on the lake, nice wrap around porch, nice pond, grill worked, beautiful view, location is in the middle of nowhere so you are very unplugged for sure, had some great family time playing numerous games they have available and used kayak which was provided. Owner had great response to phone calls. Area is beautiful, very secluded
CONS: Was not cleaned when we arrived, . Owner answered phone right away, cleaning lady came, had to wait 3 hours for her to clean it. House is in full sun from noon until sunset, air conditioners were not on when we arrived and shades were not drawn, house temperature was 94 degrees. Two portable air conditioners could not cool down house, took two full days and only then did it get down to 74 degrees. We did stay during a very hot week, but kept shades drawn during day. There were quite a few things that were broken, fan upstairs, bed box spring in spare bedroom so bed slanted down, mattresses on bunk beds were extremely thin and could feel springs underneath, canoe has holes and leaks, one of the seats in canoe was broken, hot water heater died, had to be repaired twice which took away from our time with my husband trying to troubleshoot with owner on the phone and having 3 different people coming to figure out problem during the first 3 days, smoke detectors went off at 6:30 am for no reason, low batteries I'm guessing. Thought we would have a nice quiet week on the lake until the construction right next door started on Monday morning and lasted all day during the week, hammers, saws, etc..... They are rebuilding a house, that was awesome. Wifi never worked, maybe for 10 minutes once a day. Adirondack chairs on lawn are wobbly. This property needs some maintenance for sure. No cell phone reception in area except near Walmart (however this wouldn't have been a concern had the wifi worked as it was advertised.)
Owner did refund us a small amount of $ due to all of these concerns and did offer us to return our money if we wanted to leave but there was nowhere else to go and we were only staying a few days, plus it was my son's birthday. It was not the vacation we expected but we made the best of it. Would not stay here again unfortunately.
