Beautiful views out of the living room over a peaceful lake. Nice deck w/ comfortable couch. Dock is in great condition for lounging. The lake itself is on the quieter side w/ only a handful of boats out during our few days there. Well stocked kitchen, including coffee, spices, etc. The baby toys, high chair, & crib were in great condition. Management team extremely responsive & sent someone over with a baby bathtub quickly (was in listing but seemed to have gone missing). While the house has great bones/features, the cleanliness leaves a fair bit to be desired. You expect some dog hair w/ a pet friendly home, but there were large clumps in multiple places. The chandeliers, fireplace, and other places had cobwebs and looked like they hadn't been dusted in months if not longer. It is a lakehouse in the woods, so some of this is to be expected. Just a heads up for any dust or pet hair sensitive renters out there! Comfortable beds! The upstairs room gets quiet dark. AC works great!
