Spacious and beautiful view of the lake

This rental was quite spacious and could easily accommodate more than just the 4 adults we had. The building is older and some minor inconveniences go along with that like a front door that doesn't open all the way and a lack of outlets in several rooms including the second bathroom. The view from the dock is beautiful and the little dock was great for launching kayaks from, but the "shared" deck wasn't really sharable. Another unit has a sliding glass door with no curtains that lead onto it and you feel like you are invading their space if you sit on it. The plants along the driveway needed to be cut back because it was difficult to unload from both sides of the car without pushing plants aside, and if it had rained, getting quite wet. The host was very responsive and was able to assist me when I needed to locate a few items. The kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated the welcome tray of snacks. It was nice to be close to town to get bagels or pizza but the noise from traffic was loud in the front rooms, particularly. Overall a good place to stay with a responsive host.
