Excellent Stay
We were in town for the WCSD. Our stay at this location was perfect. Quite, and probably the best stocked kitchen we have stayed at in a VRBO. We will be back next year.

Good, but could be better
Property as advertised. Fishing from dock was good. Caught large mouth bass from dock.
Exterior amenities could be improved. Stairs from parking to cabin need to be improved. Handrails were not secure. Lakeside needs a deck for outdoor living. Path to lake was quite treacherous.
Interior needs simple maintenance. Upstairs bathroom sink drains very slowly. Lights over the stove were burned out. Dishes were grimy. Kitchen really could use a dishwasher.. Beds were plentiful but worn. Could use new mattresses.
