My biggest issue with this property is that it was more like a run-down camp on the water than a nice house by the water. The location was absolutely lovely, but the house...For instance, the microwave had a broken handle that was secured by a zip tie. It took a fair amount of force to open the door, and then a sharp protrusion of plastic would likely stab you in the hand.I saw two mice, one in the basement (more understandable), but one in the living room as I was reading in the evening. The banister had a round decorative ball on it that would fall off if you touched it. Unfortunately, you tend to touch banisters. I would have just kept it off, but there were sharp screws pointing upward in an attempt to keep it secure, and I'd rather try to avoid touching a wobbly ball than get stabbed in the hand on the way down the stairs. The foosball table, which the kids love to play, had a broken goal. So if a player scored, the ball would fall onto the floor, and you'd have to chase it. That got old really fast. The pictures online made the basement look like a great hangout space, but it wasn't any place I'd be willing to even sit on the couch.Thankfully, we had great weather, so we didn't have to spend much time in the house. The calm river in the back was gorgeous, and we loved taking the kayaks out. There were plenty of dry life jackets to use, and the chair of the deck was a peaceful place to have a cup of coffee in the morning. We also saw an otter!
