  Beautiful view of the lake!! Comfortable bed with plenty of pillows and soft bedding. Extra towels! The showers had plenty of hot water and strong water pressure. The driveway would be difficult for me to navigate in the truck, but my husband did just fine!

• Charming Rustic Lake House with Strong WiFi & Beautiful Views

  4/5

  Great house for a multigenerational family trip. Despite the house having a charming “ rustic mountain” vibe, the WiFi was strong and there are a few smart TVs throughout. With both an upstairs and downstairs living area, there was plenty of space for us to spread out. There are lots of games and books to enjoy as well. The lake views were breathtaking! The kitchen is well stocked with dishes & cookware. As there is no dishwasher, we used mostly paper plates and plastic silverware to avoid handwashing everything. There was a big ant infestation in the kitchen when we arrived, but the rental company was easy to contact and got the pest control company out quickly. Our dogs appreciated the fenced-in yard space. The upstairs bathroom is beautifully renovated, as is the 2nd kitchen downstairs. The layout of the downstairs bedrooms is good for parents & children, but may not be great for friends, etc sharing the space as you have to walk through some bedrooms to get to the others and to the bathroom. The dock is near the house and perfect for swimming or fishing. It would be nice to have chairs or a seating option down there, though. In true mountain style, the steps behind the house to get down to the lake are made out of stone and are steep. Although we had no issues and appreciated their craftsmanship, they may not be ideal for those with mobility issues. The stairs inside the house to get to the bottom floor are also steep and narrow.

  This house could be an excellent fit for many groups, but it was not for us. We picked this house because we are a group of two families. Our friends stayed upstairs and everything seemed fine. Our family slept in the basement. Pros: The communication with the property manager was excellent. The upstairs of the house has been redone and is very eclectic and fun. Cons: The layout of the basement was very tricky. From the basement living room, you must walk through the room with twin beds and through the hallway with bunkbeds to get to the room with the queen. Because the house is old there are lots of creeks and the doors are quite loud. So we ended up waking up our children in these two rooms in order to get to our bed. Then I woke everyone up again when I needed to use the restroom in the night. The other con was the large amount of spiders. The welcome book said we may see a spider or two. That was an understatement. We walked into cobwebs just walking into the basement rooms when we first arrived. There was a spider crawling across the queen bed. I sat on the couch in the sunroom and my calf was covered with cobwebs from touching the front part of the couch. Between the issues with the house and the bad weather, we left our trip a day early. When we got home and unpacked, we found two spiders crawling inside two separate pieces of our luggage! If you only need the upstairs or if you don't mind spiders, this is a lovely house with an amazing view.
