Pretty View but Misrepresented
The house and photos are old. While this must have been a beautiful home in its prime, it is in desperate need of maintenance and cleaning. The listing states five bedrooms but only saw four, one of which was unmade and only had entrance from the courtyard which would not have been an issue had it not been for the swarms of lake flies at every entrance. Another room was locked which we suspect is one of the rooms in the photos but keys did not allow access. One bedroom could be accessed from outside or through the master and bathroom which was not convenient given the fly situation. The doors and windows were filled with spiderwebs which I guess are to help capture the flies. Ripped and stained towels and sheets welcomed us. There were safety hazards littered across the property from a taped up broken kitchen window, boarded kitchen door with plywood, axe which the head fell off while chopping, broken pottery shards which we think are the clay tiles from the roof randomly falling off, lever to turn on gas to the stove which pilots had to be lit by match, no oven (listed but not working), no spoons or usable pans other than cast iron, and lake access courtesy of a bent barbed wire fence. We frequent Kern often and are used to critters so the lizard we caught inside was not an issue but the swarm of flies and mice defecting on our belongings has not been encountered by us at any other of the other properties we frequent often.
