The house had a charm about it. It was one street back from the lake with easy access to lake and many tourist activities. Kitchen was very well equiped, off street parking and plenty of space. We very much enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful time. The house is spacious, clean and very cute. The layout is a little unconventional but that is part of its charm. Gert (the host) was very responsive, helpful, and generous. My son had an important Skype meeting on the day of our departure that ran till 1pm and Gert was very generous to let us stay till the end of the meeting (checkout time is 10am) without charging us extra!

A block from the beach, walk to coffee at the marina in the morning. Very clean. Unhappy as the apple remote was not charged and could not charge with our apple cords as the remote took an older generation cord. Emailed our host and got no response. It would of been nice to enjoy a movie/watch olympics after a day of outside activities. :(
