My wife and father in law are sick with terminal illnesses and it was peaceful and comfortable thank you

Check-in flawless, with door code texted day before. Wi-Fi not great. Plenty of parking. Best stocked kitchen in any vacay rental I’ve ever been in. I would absolutely stay again provided the few changes I mentioned to the owner were made. I loved the open space idea. We were a group of 4 adults/4dogs. With all the 4-leggeds it was nice to have open kitchen/family room and lots of lawn outside to which to walk dogs and tether them. The lodge I suspect is meant to be a gathering place for families who stay in the smaller cabins in addition to the lodge itself. as there were tons of chairs, eating surfaces, plates, bowls, 2 fridges, 2 washing machines/dryers inside the lodge-much more than was necessary for those staying only in the lodge. The location to North Beach couldn’t be beat - 7 minutes. The location to dog-friendly beaches at Sage Springs and Mountain Fawn Day Use Area on East side of lake - 20 minutes (unless it’s a Saturday morning in the summer. Then you’re stuck in 15 more minutes of North Beach traffic. Location to Pickleville Playhouse-20 minutes. Word of caution: As kid-friendly as the upstairs bedroom and arcade loft may be, the only way to get up there is by a steep metal spiral staircase, slippery in socks, not suitable for Littles or those unstable on their feet. 3 of the 4 dogs were able to clamber up the spiral. And, the loft and upstairs bedroom get hot. An in-window air conditioner could solve the prob. Hose outside useful to clear sand.

This place is exactly what we wanted and how it looks. The location is awesome, the house is entertaining all by itself, and the management team is responsive and super friendly. Nice work Jake and Brian!
