Elle was a very gracious hostess and was available for any inquiries we had about the property. This is an old farmhouse which was relocated to the current location and was added on to more recently. Overall the property was well maintained, however we did find many of the ceiling lights could use a thorough cleaning. The older part of the house still has the original wood plank flooring which adds character to the property but is also very squeaky to walk on. The house is well stocked with appliances and utensils for meal preparation. Having a dishwasher would be a nice addition to the kitchen, however with its current design there is no room to install one. The pontoon boat was a nice addition to be able to explore other parts of the lake. Be advised - the pontoon only has a 10 hp motor, so if you're looking for speed you won't find it with this boat. The property was pet friendly and our mini-goldendoodle seemed to enjoy roaming the property.

Great location the host was nice. The property needs some maintenance and repairs as well as the boat.. the boats depth finder does not work. The anchor rope is untwisting about to break. the dock lines are in rough shape. Also the horn on the boat didn’t work. The two red kayaks both seat backs are broken… the black stone was still dirty from the last renter… the fridge water and ice maker do not work, the oven stopped working when we tried to use it. One of the door locks were broken on the back deck door.

Wonderful owner. A few things could be done to improve the stay; the boat really needs some updating. A working ladder,new anchor;( I went out and purchased one) also all the bath towels should be replaced (threadbare old) other than that it really is a relatively nice lake (clean and not too busy)
