PROS: The yard and lake are beautiful.
Also, Chris, the house manager, was exceptionally nice.
CONS: The house is large, but WEIRD. If the owner would spend a little money fixing it up, it could be a showplace. Did I mention it's weird? Look at the photos very closely before you book. If you're looking for a hunting/fishing lodge that can sleep 100 people decorated by your grandmother, this is your place.
BE VERY ADVISED there is no wifi, and the cell phone signal is very spotty. (3G) No wifi means no Netflix, Hulu, or whatever you prefer. Granted, we should be outside enjoying nature, but it rained the weekend I stayed. Plus, for those of us that need to check in with work on laptops, it's not gonna happen.
There are at least 100 light switches in the house that don't do anything. No, make that 200 light switches. I am very serious. We never did figure out how to turn on the lights in the living room, so we used the flashlight on our phones at night to see. Plus, some of the light switches that do work aren't in the actual room the lights are in. (Example is the master bedroom switches are in the outside hallway.) If you want light to see what's going on, keep looking. (I'm sitting in the totally dark living room as I type this.)
Another thing to note: there are a lot of places on the property that are off limits. Cool, but a locked room INSIDE the master bedroom gives off murder vibes.
And let me say it again: no wifi. None.
