We enjoyed every second of our stay. The house is beautiful and clean. There’s ample space to spread out and enjoy yourself, including many levels of decking. You’ll definitely get a workout in going up and down the stairs to and from the lake!!
Great house and accommodations! Some updates are needed. But I guess they are waiting for someone to purchase the house as there was a for sale sign there. The house had everything we needed for my large family. Be prepared to bring bug spray and watch out for the spiders.
We had a great time up until we checked out. There were some minor issues with showers (water pressure & not enough hot water in one of the showers, but there are 3 showers available. Pretty much everything was great, especially the lake access with the water trampoline & kayaks. Not recommended for anyone who cannot climb a zillion stairs to access the lake though. Upon check out, I let the property owner/manager know the lock on one of the doors was possibly broken. I received a text back asking about why we moved the ceiling tile the in laundry room (no one even noticed that it wasn't originally in place or not). Stated that we basically ripped the screen door out; it was ripped when we got there (I almost took a pic & sent to her, but of course, didn't). We kept the screen door in a locked open position so it would not become more damaged. Upon check out, I noticed the lock on the one door was loose/broken and was told according to the maintenance man it was "fine at the last check out. He explained that 'they pulled the out the lock knob & unseated the tab that holds it in place....It sounds like it was intentionally tampered with because it was inconvenient." We never touched the lock after we unlocked the house upon arrival. I was told they will hold our deposit until repairs are completed. I have never had such an experience in any other homes we have rented in the past. Luckily, I purchased insurance, but now I will need to file a claim.
