Parking is available in both the upper and lower driveways. The upper driveway has an electric vehicle charger available and offers a steep walk down some stairs, while the lower driveway requires climbing 61 steps but provides easier parking. Accessing the home requires climbing a long flight of outdoor stairs that are steep and can be uneven in places. This is a common feature of lakefront properties, but it's definitely a bit of a climb! Please consider this carefully if anyone in your group has mobility concerns. We’re happy to answer questions and help you decide if our home is the right fit. Be sure to check out our detailed parking guide to find the best access point for your group.

I enjoyed my stay, the view of the lake was everything they say. On the outside of the property there was a build up of trash at the entry, On the inside of the property there was spider webs along side of the walls and ceilings. Downstairs under the stairs which is open was used for storage "eye sore".. Poor lighting for playing pool. Because of the poor up keep of the outside the cowboy pool I could not enjoy.

When we first arrived we had trouble with our entry code, our hostess were easy and quick with the fix. The views of the lake from the top balcony was stunning. The house was tidy but could use a deep clean. Also, you’ll be very limited in the kitchen. There were a few pans but it was definitely challenging trying to cook a full meal with what was available. We love to cook so that was a bit disappointing. Take your own paper plates, utensils and seasonings. There’s no pantry so if you buy groceries that don’t get put in the fridge the kitchen feels cluttered. This house feels like it would be okay for a younger party group.

Unfortunately, we had to cancel our stay on the first night because the property was not in a condition we could reasonably stay in. The downstairs AC was not working at all, and despite the thermostat being set to cool, there was no airflow from the vents. With temperatures over 100°F outside, the downstairs remained around 78–83°F, making the home uncomfortable. The host later informed us the earliest HVAC appointment was weeks away and offered portable AC units as a temporary solution, but we ultimately had to leave close to midnight and find a hotel instead. The parking situation was also challenging, as we did not feel comfortable using the upper carport and had to carry our luggage and groceries up roughly 65 stairs. Additionally, the outdoor trash had not been emptied before our arrival. I appreciate that the host was responsive and ultimately refunded our stay, but the property was not ready for guests when we arrived, and it was an extremely disappointing start to our trip.
