The overall stay was excellent. There were no views from the house, but if you walk down to the lake dock, the view is spectacular! My parents went with us and had a hard time walking up the steep incline to get back to the house from the dock, but otherwise, it was great. The drive back to the house is a bit rough and bouncy, but it let's you know you're off the beaten path! It was just a short drive to anywhere we needed or wanted to go; no complaints there. We had a hard time getting the TV to work for the first 3 days, but after that, it was fine. However, there is cable only in the top floor living room, and you can't get any internet downstairs. We had a swell time. We left our crockpot by mistake, so I hope it serves well for future guests!
