Beautiful property, exactly as pictured. Cookies were, indeed delicious. There were 8 of us and plenty of room for everyone. My adult children fished, lots of beautiful birds to watch. We were there for a family wedding and were only 10 minutes away from Tudor House venue. Our hosts were delightful to talk with. If we are ever back this way again, we would definitely stay here again.

Spacious lodging in a beautiful private residential area

This rental consisted of the entire ground level of a beautiful home situated on back waters of a very large lake. In between a wedding rehearsal/dinner one day and the ceremony late afternoon the next, we were able to relax and enjoy the many amenities for multi-generation guests.The the plate of "welcome to our home" cookies were delicious! Thank you!

Not as peaceful as we had hoped!

Upon arrival Dave stepped out to say hello and introduce himself. It was nice to be welcomed. Entry into the unit was easy and the instructions well communicated. The unit itself is well appointed and stocked with about anything you might have forgot to pack. There has been a good amount of consideration put into conveniences made available to the guests. Cleanliness - It was clean, but showed signs of not having received a deep cleaning in a while - cobwebs in the bathroom, dog fur on the couch, stuff on top of the carpet (traffic areas vacuumed) and the countertops needed wiped down. Gnats - Once settled in we started noticing gnats (various sizes). I spayed some cleaner in all the sinks and let the water run for a few minutes. This did greatly reduce them, but never completely eliminated them. Noise - Sliding door in the unit (residence) above - the sound of the door opening and closing really comes through to the downstairs unit. It was not too bad while the primary residence where there. But they had a family gathering and the opening and closing of the door had become unsettling. Combined with the stomping of children's feet on the floor and an occasional toy being dropped on the hard surface floor above was disturbing. The weather had turned bad and everyone had to go inside. We sent the owner a text message at 9:50pm and the noise almost immediately stopped. He replied in the AM saying he missed the message, but believed everyone had just left.
