The home was beautiful and very well stocked with everything we needed. We really appreciated all the beach items!
The steep driveway was a little tricky to navigate with our 12 passenger transit van, especially if a car tried to come up the driveway while we were coming down. (The cleaning ladies got stuck and had to call a tow truck.)
My only issues with the home were the bedroom doors were tricky to keep closed. The latches were very finicky. Also the beautiful bathtub was not useable due to the plug not working correctly. That was a bit of a bummer.
We also had a unique experience with the 6-8 flying squirrels that live in the tallest point of the roof. While sitting on the deck every night the squirrels would swoop down near us and fly between the trees. Scared us at first, but then they were quite entertaining!

The home was spacious, attractive and a great layout for our three families. The view was awesome. The beach toys were wonderful. We had a mixed bag weather-wise so it was great to have a beautiful house with ample room to complement our beach days. As long as you can handle the steps down to the beach this is an ideal Great Lake getaway!
The house is beautifully decorated and comfortable. We had some stressful moments (local contact information was wrong and it took some time to get it updated) and on arrival there was a plethora of flies (inside and out), most likely due to rain, that really gave us all pause. The propane tanks were also both empty which added to the irritation since we had planned to get settled and grill our dinner. After a call to the contact and a run to the local gas station for a tank exchange (which we were reimbursed for) we were finally able to relax a bit.
The beach itself is wonderful and quiet! It was super windy so we were unable to take advantage of the fire pit but I'm sure it provides many memorable times for those who can use it.
Our family ended up having a good time despite the rocky start. There are a few things that surprised us given that we were renting so early in the season (door hinge issue and a trash drawer that self-opened) but all in all it was a positive experience.
I think some of the issues we experienced were due to the property having just switched to a new cleaning crew so more learning curve than deliberate.
For awareness: MANY of the local restaurants are closed on Monday and Tuesday even during the summer.
