Liked: Cleanliness
The home was spacious and clean but some areas looked a bit tired and poorly maintained. We didn't use the hot tub as the water looked dirty. The fan in the dining area came on by itself which had us wondering how safe the electrical was. The house is across the street from Lake Erie and not directly on it. The house is located in a area where there is no municipal water so water use is restricted to what the cistern can hold. If you don't mind an old cottage probably fixed up by a handyman with good intentions, this is the place for you. It's located in a beautiful area of the province!
