Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Great lake views, fairly easy access to water across the street, nice dock to relax on. Overall we had a good time. Every room had a fan which was a necessity because this property does not have AC. Most of the year it probably isn't necessary but if you are going in the summer you might want to check the forecast. We had very hot and humid weather so would have loved some AC. The water was beautiful though and we made full use of it. There are a few areas that could be spruced up. The deck and sliding door and a few windows could be updated. Still, under the right circumstances I would come again. The lake was worth it!
