Nice location, some drawbacks.
Liked the location very much. There were some issues. First, the WiFi password in the listing is not correct and VACASA was unable to find the correct password. But the house rules book, in the house, has the correct WiFi password. Look for that.
The house is two story with all the bedrooms downstairs. For us older folks, my wife and I are in our 70's, that was more stair climbing that we wanted.
The upstairs of the house gets very warm during the day. Running fans and opening doors and windows helped. Ceiling fans would have been better. That said, we saw very few insects so leaving doors and windows (some don't have screens) open was not an issue.
The deck, in places, has nails that are coming up. Watch out for that. If you stand outside at the front door and turn left to go around the deck you will see two sheets of metal flashing nailed to the deck. Two of the edges are coming up. You wouldn't want to step on them in bare feet. I sent a picture of this to VACASA.
The unit with the pool table and bunk beds was unavailable to us because it had failed a fire inspection. While we were there a man from a landscaping company came by to look at it. He hadn't seen the fire Marshall's report, so wasn't certain what was wrong, but he speculated that there was too much foliage or pine needles near the structure. He was going to investigate and attempt to fix the issues.
Plenty of laundry soap and dryer sheets available. Only one packet of dishwasher soap. We bought more and left them there. The hand soap at every sink except the master bedroom was hidden and needed to be refilled.
There are shelves in the small kitchen but no cupboards with doors. If you bring food and a dog be sure to store the food in the shelves above the counters.
On the positive side, the property is very near the lake and several beaches. The house is surrounded by other homes, but with the trees, we could sometimes hear the neighbors but not see them.
