Rustic Home located close to the beach/lake

Good location with enough room for our family for the Ironman Weekend.A disappointment was the lower level bedrooms and bathroom, all needed updating. We would have liked to have seen a welcome manual about house directions, as well.The house host was very communicative with us. Gorgeous views!
