Very comfortable and accommodating. Several places to relax inside and outside. The kitchen is enjoyable to work in and the decorating was done well. The extra soft blankets are a nice touch. Really happy with the stay.

Nice easy drive to get there and was just what we needed. Check in went east with the door code. It was quite cozy and gave us the relaxing time we needed. Board games were great to have. Pretty easy to get to local places. Highly recommend booking here. Looking forward to going back.

The house was clean and comfortable and once the hot tub warmed up it was wonderful.However, the floor was very uneven, and the hole in the floor was dangerous. The description made it seem like it was a short 2 minute walk to the public access to the lake. It was a 5 minute drive. The cutlery did not include full size forks, which was a bit awkward for four adults.So, we enjoyed our stay, but a few improvements should be made.

It was hard to find in the dark with no outside lighting. A lot of weeds and grass was overgrown. The floor had a hole in it. The toilet backed up. A maintenance man did come out to fix it but it backed up again. The hot tub was nice and we did enjoy that. The communication was very good with the owners and they did always respond very quickly. It was just disappointing with the lack of cleanliness.
