I booked this house almost a year in advance to celebrate my parent's 50th anniversary. We stayed here this past July & while we had a great time there were a few issues & for the price paid for the house, I feel like some things were lacking.
Communication with the owner was great, however, most of these reviews seem to be from the previous owner. When I rented it was with Jane & when we stayed we were dealing with Kelly. Just throwing that out there.
There were some issues with broken/dirty things. The kitchen faucet came off in our hands as soon as we turned it on. We were informed about the broken sound system on the main floor, but it was disappointing that we weren't able to use it, wifi was nonexistent & cell service spotty. You shouldn't advertise wifi if you can't be sure it will work. My daughter had college classes to attend while we were there & we were counting on the wifi, she had to go into town to do her school work. The grill was gross as well as the oven & anytime we cooked it put smoke in the house. The kitchen could be stocked a little better. The sheets on the bed we slept in, the king downstairs were dirty/dingy & had holes in them, I only wish I could post pictures. Not what I would expect in a house like this! Air conditioner vents were disgusting & there was just a feeling that not a thorough cleaning was being done each time, even though you pay a hefty cleaning fee. Needs some outside maintenance as well, cobwebs everywhere, ants on the front porch, dirty furniture.
House is noisy & I know that is the design but you can literally hear people in the next room, toilets being flushed, every step made upstairs. Voices travel so make sure you go outside if you want privacy when you are talking. We also had construction going on next door which was not mentioned & while I know it is out of their control it really should have been mentioned. They started fairly early with the construction so no sleeping in & it kinda took away from the peacefulness of the lake.
Being on the water was amazing, we rented a boat & parked it at the dock for the week. It was so nice to be able to come & go as needed, especially since we had rain showers off and on all week. And the view was breathtaking. The lake toys were a nice feature just wish they weren't extra $$ and would be nice to have them down at lake level so you don't have to carry them up and down.
Overall we had a great time, but the house needs some attention in certain areas.
