Check in was super easy. Neighborhood is pretty quiet. Roomy open plan first floor area. Plenty of beds/rooms to sleep in. Basement does remain colder than the rest of the house, but was nice for adults who sleep better in cooler temps. If you have a smaller toddler, pack a portable camping chair/booster seat for them to eat at as there is not a dining table, just bar stools. Nice enclosed deck to sit on and enjoy the sounds of the loons or great fire pit area with plenty of chairs. Make sure you bring your own firewood though. We had our pontoon boat and were able to launch at the public boat landing and dock right at the house which was very nice! Kids were able to fish off the boat at the dock when we weren’t on the lake. Not very big fish to catch, but the experience is great! Robert’s lake was not super busy when we were there, so kids had fun with tubing as well. Owner is quick to respond to questions/concerns and easy to work with. FYI-if your cell phone carrier is US Cellular, you will not have reception while there, but can use WiFi calling at the house. Also, make sure to bring paper towels, garbage bags, toilet paper, laundry, dishwasher soap, etc. as you are about 20 minutes from the nearest store. Bar/grill located across the lake, but we made our own food at the house-plenty of dishes/utensils to use. FYI- toilets seem small to me, but we have elongated toilets. Overall, good experience and would stay again.
