Loved the house, the front door was difficult to unlock, and the lighting in bathrooms and dining area wasn’t the best. A little off the beaten path…took us awhile to get our bearings. Lake was beautiful… the kitchen was amazingly equipped. Lower level musty but we didn’t use it much. No tv upstairs was a topic of conversation, some good some bad. Bed linens pretty thin. Al in all it a great place that could use just a few improvements.

Mid-century Lakehouse vibe
3 bedrooms/3 bathrooms was a must! Great location and loved the openness of the spaces. I’ve spent 75 years summering on Platte Lake. It’s laidback and for us magical.
