Summary: The house is okay. It had what we needed for cooking. The beds were comfy. The house is very dated. The outside deck, tables and chairs were dirty so we did not spend any time out there. The stairs leading down to the dock are in dire need of repair. We all went very slow down and back up from the dock. The dock is in desperate need of repairs as well. The ladder to get out of the lake is a tetanus shot waiting to happen. There are trees leaning over the house constantly dropping debris on the roof which woke us up at night. There is no yard, I mean, there is one but you are not playing in it or walking around with your kids. There was no cell service. Supposedly there is Dish network but it was not working and instructions to call but since we had no cell service we could not do that but who wants to do that kind of adulting on a vacation anyway? Not us. It could be a great place. The homes around it are quite lovely. I hate I paid so much to stay here but hopefully the profit will be used to improve the home and yard and dock AND the stairs leading down to the dock, they really are scary. I would not rent this place again.
