We greatly enjoyed our week. The house had plenty of space for our group (4 adults, 3 children) with room to spare. The kitchen was adequately equipped for us to prepare our Thanksgiving Day meal. The group enjoyed the back porch, particularly in the evenings. We made good use of the fire pit several chilly nights and smores were enjoyed by all! The game room was an added bonus and the kids enjoyed it immensely.
That’s the good. There just isn’t any other way to describe it: the house was dirty. Decor was heavily dusty, the first cup I grabbed out of the cabinet had a soda can tab stuck inside the bottom of it. Every dish/pot/pan we used needed a good scrubbing before it was put into action. In addition the non-stick cookware had outlived its functional lifespan with the coating coming off on every one. When we first arrived we thought it was our shoes making the sticking sound as we walked through the kitchen but soon found out the floor itself was sticky to the touch.
The main living area appeared to be equipped with an Amazon fire stick but it wasn’t functional and we had to contact the host to get someone out and get the cable working. The host was responsive and took care of it, and it was only a minor inconvenience. We ended up having a later arriving family member bring a personal Roku device for us to use while there.
Again, we had a great time. Just wanted to be upfront about our experience. There is massive potential for this location.

Hi Willie, We were happy to hear that you had plenty of space for your family and that the kitchen was well-stocked. Glad the kids enjoyed the game room.
We apologize for the issues you found, we communicated several times and you didn't mention the cleanliness issues we would have been happy to come back if needed to rectify the issues. We use Pine-sol to mop the floors to ensure they are clean.
We have done a deep clean and dusted all of the decor, we were unaware there were any dirty dishes. We have ordered new pots and pans, plates, cups, bowls and silverware. We have also purchased a new smart TV with ROKU.
We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.
The house was beautiful and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would absolutely recommend!

Great home for large gatherings with kids. The game room and bunk options were great. Thanks!
The house had tons of space for our family and all of the essentials - well-stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, games and toys for the kids. Gigi provided great restaurant and activity recommendations and was very responsive, even putting us in touch with the housekeeper to get an early check-in. Loved the location on a quiet cove with minimal noise and waves.A couple of "helpful to know" items: - The house has internet, but it is crushingly slow. We could not run any streaming apps. - You can tie up to the boat dock with your own boat, but the lake levels are currently so low that it's difficult to navigate getting in and out of the boat.
