Relic of the 1950s unsafe outside and no TV service inside
The owner has spent a bit of cash trying to improve an old house (more to this below). But zero dollars or effort were spent to make the lakeside property area safe for guests. The pathway from the house to the shore is quite steep and very long and extremely unsafe because the actual "path" is only identifiable via a shallow, narrow depression in the dirt. That's filled with rocks and wood bits which are hidden under a thick, deep mat of wet leaves on top. A kind neighbor saw us struggling to not fall and told us to please use his paved pathway to avoid the serious risk of a broken leg. At water's edge is a scary, twisted, tilted ramp to the dock (50 EXTRA). The dock looked ok, but is unusable due to a fallen tree blocking the water. Inside, the house is roomy, but all windows are small, thus the whole place is dark and gloomy, so lighting is needed during daylight hours, The bed and bath rooms are redone and linens are ok. Furniture is newish. Neither TV would allow access other than Netflix, which only loaded in Spanish. Evening Management tried to help by phone but finally advised us to go online and get a new subscription. No outside or digital antennas would load. A friend called to tell us of approaching severe weather, possible tornadoes, and we could not get TV weather updates. Kitchen is equipped with old, beatup barely functional cookware. Multiple calls were required to gain access code and management's "Mister Plushy" who answered was not interested or helpful.
