Not as peaceful as we had hoped!

Upon arrival Dave stepped out to say hello and introduce himself. It was nice to be welcomed. Entry into the unit was easy and the instructions well communicated. The unit itself is well appointed and stocked with about anything you might have forgot to pack. There has been a good amount of consideration put into conveniences made available to the guests. Cleanliness - It was clean, but showed signs of not having received a deep cleaning in a while - cobwebs in the bathroom, dog fur on the couch, stuff on top of the carpet (traffic areas vacuumed) and the countertops needed wiped down. Gnats - Once settled in we started noticing gnats (various sizes). I spayed some cleaner in all the sinks and let the water run for a few minutes. This did greatly reduce them, but never completely eliminated them. Noise - Sliding door in the unit (residence) above - the sound of the door opening and closing really comes through to the downstairs unit. It was not too bad while the primary residence where there. But they had a family gathering and the opening and closing of the door had become unsettling. Combined with the stomping of children's feet on the floor and an occasional toy being dropped on the hard surface floor above was disturbing. The weather had turned bad and everyone had to go inside. We sent the owner a text message at 9:50pm and the noise almost immediately stopped. He replied in the AM saying he missed the message, but believed everyone had just left.

Comfortable Place for a Family Rendezvous

We were welcomed by pretty flowers and delicious cookies on the kitchen table left by our hosts, Dave & Marty. The accommodations were spacious, clean and very comfortable. The Property is along a water way which leads out to the lake. There is a nice patio outside of the kitchen to grill and socialize or just sit and enjoy the peace and quiet. One evening Dave & Marty connected with us from their deck above and we found them to be very nice folks! Hope to be able to stay here again!

Nice family unit in the basement.

Stayed for just a few nights with our Labrador. Neighborhood is quiet walkable with 25 mph side streets. Upon entry into the unit you are at small landing at top of stairs, we decided we would clean the dogs paws in the garage then enter the unit, as more space. Nice patio entry from kitchen to the backyard. You can hear the owners walking around upstairs occasionally, not a huge problem just took our hyperalert dog some time to get used to. Cleanliness was good, their were some dead bugs but I would anticipate they would get cleaned during deep spring cleaning. We didn't have to clean anything to make our stay enjoyable. Enjoyed the Zero filter water for the well water.
