Great place to stay, house layout was perfect for us. What we couldn’t see with past reviews or pictures is that one side has a larger bedroom and basically an on-suite so the primary guest can be isolated from the main house where the other 2 bedrooms are. Master bed was very comfortable, Connie and Dean were great hosts, we had everything we needed and if we needed something else they were there quickly.

Not the cleanest

Upon arrival we had to text owner for door code. After 2 texts and no response I then had to call to get the code. Floors were not clean at all. To the point i found a dirty sock under one bed, a few wrappers under another along with pleanty of dirt, sand and dust. Light fixtires all had cobwebs on them. Base boards by toilet were pretty Pulled covers back on bed and sheets didn't look washed at all! No cleaning supplies other than dish soap. I ended up washing bedding and vaccuming the floors within the first hour of arrival. Location was great, neighborhood was quiet for the most part.

Kindness

Owners were so kind. Home was clean and organized with plenty of amenities. The log stove was so nice and cozy! We had a slight accident in the home that the owner brought to my attention, he was very kind and understanding about it, and we were able to work through it. Highly recommend the home.

Nice place!

Very nice and clean place! The description could have a little more when it comes to what you are supplied…towels, starter toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, etc. These things are supplied, but if we were staying for a longer period you would definitely need to bring extras. The location is great for riding the trails. We didn’t check out the dock slip because of weather. Had a great time and the place felt nice and roomy! Thank you for a great weekend!!
