This rental has pros and cons. The house is architecturally interesting and the lakeside location with the dock is nice. Unfortunately, there is an issue with the next door neighbor. It appears that the owner is doing an addition/renovation on his home and at times it can be quite noisy with sawing and machines running (floor sanding maybe inside). Also there is a very bright spotlight aimed directly at the side of the rental house that will go on and off for several minute intervals at night so sleeping in the main level bedroom can be less than restful. The next door neighbor's shed, large RV which family members live in, his trucks are parked directly behind the rental house and the parking for the rental house is behind the neighbor's house. Therefore early in the morning the downstairs bedroom gets the building material sounds and sawing from the neighbor working directly behind the bedroom windows. The question is why don't they use the areas directly behind each house as originally plotted? That way the neighbor could have his shed, big RV and construction materials behind his own house. In speaking with the builder/owner, the house was sold because the owner was fed up with the neighbor's behavior - such as refusing to switch the parking areas when they switched ownership of the house lots.
The other issue is air-conditioning. The upstairs air conditioner is actually in the loft bedroom. It is not meant to cool the whole house. The bedrooms on the bottom level of the house have only a sliding door for ventilation. Several nights were quite warm and the downstairs had no air circulation. The air conditioner did not cool the lower level - wasn't meant to - and the few windows on the ground floor that could be opened had no screens. Being able to open the windows would have been great.
We did really enjoy the screened porch especially in the evenings to hear the loons, watch the sun go down, enjoy the lake. The outside dining table was wonderful too.
Kayaking on the lake was fun and interesting.
Out grandkids had a good time swimming and catching frogs and releasing them and fishing.
The house is near some great hiking and the lobster boat tours are highly recommended.
We did enjoy exploring the area and the friendliness of the locals.
