The host did a fantastic job of initial communication, providing us with timely answers and giving us complete directions. The location was easy to find, and it was indeed a gorgeous location on the lake. It would be a great summer spot! However, inside does require some upkeep. The downstairs TV had a speaker that was hanging by a cord and the remote did not work at all. We were afraid to touch it because it was setup so precariously. The blender that was advertised was literally from the 80s and the base didn't lock so we had to hold it down. The dishwasher was nearly non-functional for anything other than the smallest of plates; the plates provided didn't fit! There were also a few cleanliness items, including some serious dust buildup in the bedrooms on the nightstands, but more importantly was the rodent issue. Understandable that there are mice in the house, it is the woods and it is the winter. But PLEASE check the drawers and under the cupboards. There were mouse droppings in several locations and the oven mitts were being used for a nest somewhere (since they were eaten up). Finally, and arguably the most frustrating, was the fact that the lock / deadbolt to the house didn't work. It would be one thing if the house was in the middle of nowhere and there was no one around us, but we were in a neighborhood. And they didn't fix it, even when shown that it didn't work. My wife felt unsafe. For me, that was a deal-breaker. I would not recommend this place to others.
