The location on the lake was wonderful. The Apartment was clean. Well stocked. Internet was very fast. Bonus: Coffee/tea and snacks were offered.
Cons: It was a bit musty smelling, I am a light sleeper and with the windows open, I could hear a lot of traffic. With the windows closed it was much better.
Wished for better guidance in locating the property very late in the evening. Caused us concern since lighting was questionable/ carport to use had stump in front with painted sign sign wood sign / addressaccessible

The lake access was so pretty and having all the basics for kitchen and laundry was so helpful. Going in the heat of summer was the only issue, as there is just one AC unit in the living room so both the bedroom and the kitchen stay really warm. Otherwise, it was near the family we were visiting and made for a relaxing home base.
