Place was ok. Entrance to the back door is very unsafe. The steps you climb have no hand rails and when you got to the top there is almost a 3 foot drop off the slab to get into the house with no railings to prevent you from falling.The light switches through out the house are very awkward, being located behind doors, second bedroom didn’t have any light switch had to use lights on the table, master bedroom light switch was located outside the bedroom.TV had a big crack in the screen which we were told about after we checked in so we only had a half of screen. Yes there were other TV’s in the house but my husband walks with a cane not comfortable going up and down the steps. We asked about moving the downstairs TV upstairs but didn’t feel comfortable taking it up the steps.Sign told us to remove our shoes but was not comfortable walking on the carpet had a lot of spots on it. They left shoes I’m assuming were for us to use but I don’t care to wear other people’s shoes it’s summer time I had no socks on.My daughter slept downstairs she said it was a little damp smelling. She said you were either cold or warm down there.Upstairs’ bathroom had men’s shower gel but nothing for women. The shampoo and conditioner were nice.These might seem like little picky stuff but when you spend that amount of money it’s nice not to have to worry about the little things.

The host made a mistake about our check-in date so the check-in information was incorrect and a bedroom and kitchen sink were not clean and ready. When I contacted them, they were very apologetic and offered to come and clean. They were very responsive. Other than that hiccup, the place was perfect for our trip and we had a wonderful time. The little lake was fun, the downstair space was great, and it was close to all our activities. Our family would go again.

Beauty property. We loved and enjoyed the extra accommodations/equipment for the lake water activities; best part. More towels and linen then expected which was a nice surprise. Interior: Comfortable, neat, clean, lots of open space for families. Exterior: could benefit from a monthly insects spray &/or power wash to remove the abundance of spider webs from front porch, light fixtures, back deck chairs, steps, house, etc. & over grown weeds. Host was proactive with check-in info which made it a breezy. I would definitely recommend this location for any family.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The kids had a wonderful time with the paddle boards and my grandson was thrilled to have a basket ball hoop. The lake was a big hit.I do have a couple of suggestions: We couldn't get the little coffeemaker to work and the main light and the closet light in the master bedroom didn't work. The patio was lovely. I would have loved to have had a clearer view without the thick trees-maybe a little thinning out? It's a beautiful spot.

Loved this location for family to stay while they were in town. Listing could have been more accurate about number of beds available for all of our guests. We made it work, kids had fun fishing in the lake in back, host was very communicative and made sure we had what we needed!

It was nice. Little short on sleeping places but kids slept on floor. Teenagers disappointed in no wifi but parents thought it was a good thing. Overall it worked for our family to all be in one place instead of all hotel rooms for a family wedding

In town for family event and was impressed with how well the kitchen was stocked for home cooked meals. We were surprised not to find tv in living room on first floor but it promoted family time. Great location and very comfortable.
