The top half of the house was fine. We were unaware that the bottom half was being possibly renovated and had obvious water damage, creating a musty smell throughout the house. It isn't terribly steep to the water, but with the downstairs in the shape it was in, we felt the only way to the water was out the upstairs and walk around the house (which was steeper and a little difficult for our elderly family members to access). Both bathrooms upstairs had damage prior to our stay--one with a broken soap dish in the shower and the other bathroom with a broken toilet paper holder. It says plainly in the description that "no pets are allowed" however, a blanket was on one of the beds covered in pet hair and large wads of pet hair were on the hardwood floor. The trash had not been dumped outside when we got there on July 5th and was already full to overflowing. My husband actually loaded most of our trash up and brought it back home with us. There was also trash in the master bath floor, which remained there through our stay because I wasn't touching it. We were very excited about the firepit area, but came to find it filled with trash from whomever had stayed prior to our visit. Having rented at other lakes we were a little disappointed with the cleanliness of things.
This is the most peaceful lake stay we have ever had. There were never many boats and certainly no rowdy people nearby. There were nice TVs to watch, and a great screened in porch with a dart board that was used a lot. They even had baggo if you wanted to play. We appreciated that and the nice appliances. My husband did all the communicating with the owner and she was always prompt and helpful. Again, our only complaint was the lack of cleaning--it looked like it may have been rushed.
