The house is in a great location on the lake, near town, 30 minutes to great hiking, etc. The house has a fantastic view especially since the front room with all the windows makes it feel like you're sitting right on the water. Loved being able to walk right out on the dock early mornings and throughout the day and take in the mountains, the lake, and all the foliage. We used the dock and the firepit daily.
One thing to consider is that when it is said that this property is shared, it is actually shared with 2 other homes. The dock and firepit are all shared. This didn't become an issue at all for us, as our neighbors were friendly and only stayed for 2 days. But I will say that the other homes are closer than expected. The two homes on the water have what seems to be about 50 feet between them, with the firepit right in the center of the two.
Despite this, we thoroughly loved the location, the dock and the firepit and would stay again.
I would say that the house is in need of some attention. It just didn't really seem like any preparations were made to have guests in the home. The kitchen had pots, pans, utensils, cups, plates, etc. spread out all over the place. The laundry equipment was falling well into the bathroom space. We wiped down all surfaces upon entry because it just felt like the house had not been entered in some time. We weren't expecting a 5-star hotel, but for what the home is, it certainly could have been presented in a much more inviting manner.
The host was great! Quick responses to all our questions without issue. She did hesitate on a question regarding Covid-related return/cancelation policy, forcing us to book without an answer. But aside from that, very easy process to check in and Cathy was great to work with!
As I said, I would certainly stay here again, perhaps finding a way to bring more friends and family to rent the other two homes at the same time!
