Wonderful spot - clean home and well equipped
We had a great stay - the lake is wonderful. The house is very clean and well equipped. Shower is good sized and good water flow. The upstairs bed didn't seem quite as large as a traditional queen and was very soft --- not to our taste, but that's personal preference. The downstairs area and bedroom were also very pleasant. New air conditioners worked well. Beautiful views of the lake too. Check out instructions need to be clarified; there were three different renditions.
But we had a great stay -- living room is well appointed, and kitchen had everything we needed, and house is VERY pleasant! Thanks!!
This is a wonderful property! Nice lakefront and dock (tho note: a steep grade to get down there). The house is fresh and really clean and very pleasant. The kitchen is equipped well. The shower is spacious and great water flow. The upstairs bed we found to be soft ( personal preference) and was a ‘small’ queen. About 3-4” narrower than our queen bed at home. The downstairs is also a really nice bedroom area, tho we did not use it. Another great bathroom and a game area, washer/dryer, and little butler’s sink area. The living area is really comfortable. The air conditioners are new and worked well when we needed them. The lake was nice swimming and quiet. We enjoyed loons at night. This was a great property that we enjoyed a lot!!
