• Wouldn’t

  2/5

  House needs some help. Dishes are dirty and left in the dish washer from previous guests. The dishes available are random and unorganized. The pullout mattress is filthy, flat and covered in stains. I did not check other mattresses due to being scared what I would see. The mattresses did seem to be very old though. Furniture is very outdated and impossible to clean. Shower in the basement leaks. Paint is falling off and chipped. There is a wasp infestation living in the ceiling fan on the back porch. Kitchen countertop is completely detached from the wall and unsecured. Garage play area is dirty. The kids didn’t want to play in it because of how dirty everything was. Bird nest is in the children’s play area doll house which poses a health hazard Dock is warped. Kayaks and paddle boards advertised but are actually at an additional cost per day. Gas grill is advised but it is a charcoal grill which would be good to know for additional planning purposes. We made the best of our stay as it was a family gathering, but it was nothing like we anticipated. We would not stay here again.

• cozy older lakeside home

  5/5

  While this home could easily accommodate a family of 10 or 12, we were only two, visiting over a long weekend during an unseasonably warm spell for mid-November. We enjoyed the hot tub after days spent hiking around the parks and lakeside trails. We did not get to experience this home during its high summer season, when kids would no diloubt spend hours diving into the lake off the fork, swinging from the rope swing or playing pool, foosball and ping pong later in the garage into the night. Amply stocked with spices and cooking oil, a gift basket of cookies and chips, and a well accessorized kitchen with pots, pans, utensils and knives, we enjoyed peaceful nights' rest, waking with the morning light and doing puzzles until we were ready for bed. We came to unplug and recharge, and that is what we did. But the two large TVs and decent 5 GHZ wifi are a bonus if keeping up on college football or answering email are your needs.Several of the window sills need to be replaced and we had to go find light bulbs for a couple of bedside lamps. Other than that our stay was wonderful and we hope to go back in the late Spring or early summer to enjoy all the lake has to offer -- boating, fishing, swimming, and hawk watching... We must have seen two dozen hawks in the sky at one point, sitting down by the lake in the wooden swing around 5 pm, watching the sun descend and the golden light turn purple and fade into blackest night.

• Great place to stay on the lake

  We have gone to this property 5 years in a row and we have enjoyed every time the family stayed there. It has great location and everything you need.

  We will go back next year.
