We had a wonderful time at Anstruther Lake. We stayed for 7 nights. The condo was clean and welcoming and Karen was responsive to our questions. She gave us access to her laundry area to launder the sheets before our new guests arrived.It is a really nice area for families and people who are respectful of the many other people who live in the 25 condos--not a good place for people who intend to party hard, make a lot of noise and stay up all hours.The issues that we had are all fixable or already fixed:...We had extra work to be able to use the paddleboat because it had been hauled up on land by neighbours who had found it out on the lake after it broke free from the dock after it was tied up by previous renters. The reason became clear quickly--the rope was rotted through. We replaced it with line from our sailboat. ...The Keurig stopped working repeatedly and there was no replacement at Home Hardware in Apsley but we lucked out when Angela next door loaned us hers for the duration and Karen was bringing up a new one at the end of our week. ...The can opener didn't work so we improvised. ... Another essential item for us (it turned out) was a toilet plunger; again Angela came to our rescue. ...I would suggest that future renters bring some lawn chairs with them if there are more than 4 people coming. It would also be nice to have some placemats for the table.Overall, Karen's place is a big step up from basic cottage living!
