I rented this house because it said wheelchair accessible. Well it is not at all. In fact there were many things in and around the that made it not wheel chair friendly. Also, the description said there were a lot of amenities that were not there. For a vacation with kids and big family parties, this house is fine, except there is no lake access. For an older couple or someone using a wheelchair this is definitely not the place.

Below Standard

This home had was unacceptably filthy. It smelled strongly of garbage on entry. We were able to clear that overnight with open doors and windows Water pressure in the master bath was poor. The master toilet did not clear properly leaving a foul stench in the master bedroom and master bath.

Our family get together

We had a nice relaxing time with family and really enjoyed the front porch and the view. The listing said 4 bedrooms and there were only 3. My husband snores very loud so we don’t sleep in the same room but had no choice because the other 2 rooms were occupied by my SIL and my in-laws. On top of that, the bed was hard as a rock, I had to take every blanket I could find to put under us so that the bed didn’t hurt our bodies. I basically had no sleep the entire weekend :-(

Beautiful and Relaxing

I would stay here many times over. Beautiful view in a quiet neighborhood close to hiking. So much wildlife to see when sitting on the front deck with a cup of coffee. The owners were kind to provide coffee, snacks and plenty of fire wood! Excellent spot!

The unit accepts pets but nowhere for our dogs to run safely enclosed.

we had a party of 8 (six adults and 2 teens) . We were told the house would sleep all 8 comfortably. NOT The kids had to sleep on the floor. One on a folded-out pad and one on cushions from the couch. No AC. Outside it was cold and rainy and the house was very humid caused by no air circulation. plenty of steaming channels but no local networks to watch local sports.

The house was perfect for our family for a weekend stay. Kitchen well-equipped and labeled. Bedrooms were comfortable, bathrooms were adequate. Outdoor seating has lovely view. The lake is peaceful and the area is scenic, although it is far to markets and dining.
