My family visited this location and had a great time in the backyard and family rooms. We were in close proximity to farmstands, restaurants and walking trails. The host was kind and directed us local attractions. We enjoyed being on the lake and the backyard firepit was a favorite for us.
We spent a lot of money on this rental. We arrived and the house was crazy dirty. Crumbs and bugs all over the floor. An inch of dust on all of the ceiling fans. Stuff in the fridge inside. Spoiled milk and other rotten items in the fridge outside. Dog poop all over the back yard. It looked like the place hasnât been cleaned in months. We booked 4 nights and ended up leaving after night two because I woke up with bites all over my body. When we told the host, she said that we are making all of this up to get a free stay and pretty much called me a liar. She is very rude and did not give us any of our money back. I would highly recommend not staying at this property. Oh ya, and the host stays on the property in an apartment above the garage which was also not disclosed on the listing.
The house is impressive with a large great room, nice kitchen / dining area and a very nice deck equipped with an outside bar (no water), table, chairs, and a functional grill. The backyard lawn is nice and the view is wonderful. The bedrooms upstairs are also quite nice and the master bathroom is amazing with all tile or stone work and a delux two-person jet tub. Morning sunrise was beautiful which you can't miss since there are no window dressings in the master. For our stay, the dock was not in (which we knew). The beach has some rocks near shore but after that it is great for wading around in the relatively shallow water. I had hoped to moor my large pontoon boat at the property, but I didn't feel comfortable with this because of the occasional large rocks, shallow water and occasional rough water that can happen, so we put the boat in and out at the park just south of the house (3.1 mile drive) which worked out fine. (We did moor a jet ski there with no problems.)
Beautiful place with wonderful views of the sunrise. We were lucky enough to be there while the leaves were changing colors also. Host is easy to deal with and very nice.
