Property needs some work

Overall ok. Just a place to sleep … the smell upon opening the door was overwhelming (moth balls and chemical air deodorizers)…. The house is cute for what it is, and they’ve done a good job of putting a face lift on it. The outdoor fire pit was very nice. That said, it all just left something to be desired.,, would not stay here again.

GREAT PRIVATE PLACE TO ENJOY THE LAKE

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The small road leading into the house was starting to disappoint then the 140 degree turn down a steep hill, really made my heart drop this wasn't good. BUT when we got to the bottom of the hill, WOW, it was GREAT!! We enjoyed the house, the boat slip, and swimming dock!! House was clean, well supplied, beautiful porch overlooking lake. We even enjoyed fire pit, roasting marsh mellows and used the charcoal grill. LOVE IT!! All was GREAT!! Just be prepared for dirt road with power lines on road, literally running over them to get there!
