This property would have been the perfect lake getaway I was intending it to be if it hadn’t been for the cockroaches, mold, and other hazards found in and around the home. It was very clear that both units of the rental had not been cleaned from the cockroach infestation we found, cobwebs galore in the pantry cabinet and underneath all the kitchen cabinets, mold in the deep freezer (that was left unplugged and therefor made the whole unit smell like mold) in the unit where my children would have been sleeping, trash left in the bin underneath the kitchen sink, rotted wood to the deck entrance of the secondary unit, etc. We were relocated to a thankfully clean home and did not get settled in until midnight with my small children. Our relocation was to a home not on the lake, no lake view, no dock for our boat, and no lake access for my kids to go swimming. This was not the trip I intended.

The lake is excellent the property it’s very nice but the dock is a safety hazard. Also there should be a better description of the refrigerator. We really enjoyed our stay love the lake and had a good time just need to fix the dock.
