There are a lot of great things about this property: proximity to the lake, BEAUTIFUL view from the lounge and deck, fully stocked kitchen, washer AND dryer, updated bathrooms, proximity to town and some major tourist attractions. We really enjoyed all that.I would say the property could use a really good deep clean and some trimming of trees outside so it’s easier to drive down the path. Initially I only received check in information from VRBO and I didn’t get a super fast response from the owner, however, we had already been able to get in at that point. Initially the internet was not working and we had to reconfigure that, but got it going. The tv remote was out of batteries. All small things, and perhaps not what we should focus on for a vacation rental, but it was also raining a lot and so you’re inside. This is a really well loved rental/family home and if you are okay with some small quirks, it’s a great place to stay.

Great location! Sunrises were beautiful. Quick response from host and we had everything we needed.

The house had a beautiful view and was well maintained. I would say that there was an overpowering musty odor. Maybe we were the first guests in a while? I grew up going to lake cottages in the summer so am used to slightly musty smells but this was a little extreme. Otherwise it was a lovely spot.
