Disliked: Cleanliness
Property is in a great location- we fished off dock, had our boats and jetskis on dock and was walking distance to town landmarks! Some things in home were missing like kitchen essentials and sheets that we needed to reach out to host but he was able to remedy issues. Inside of home not in perfect shape (furniture and light fixtures older) but beds we're comfortable and we spent most time on front porch and on water. Would stay again!

Disliked: Cleanliness
We were very disappointed with the house and general communication with the host. Upon arrival, after having to ask for the code, the code didn't work but thankfully there was a door left unlocked so we were able to get in. The house is very old and dated, nothing like the pictures. The house felt very unsafe and should really get the foundation checked because the house sloped drastically. There's is only one room with privacy upstairs and basically every other bed is wide open. It was dirty with many outdoor furniture pieces broken. The hot tub was also dirty. Very disappointed and not worth the price. The location was nice but didn't make up for everything else..

The property was beautiful, the only issue was the host approached my car when myself and other guests were with me to answer my question I asked him over the app. It did make us feel uncomfortable and was not necessary — next time he should consider just replying through the app or by phone call.

Beautiful lakefront property

This trip was for my 2 friends 50th birthday, the property exceeded our expectations! It sleeps many people very comfortably. Very nice places to eat and drink within walking distance but we were able to cook what we needed with the full kitchen and grill on the property. The lake and dock are perfect for floating and fishing!

Amazing time

Me and my friends had a great time! The hot tub was amazing and a key hangout spot. We loved using the paddle boards even though the water was freezing. The only groceries we had to buy were food. There were trash bags, paper towels, pots, pans, plenty of dishware, I really appreciated the accommodations for us as a large group of 20-21 year olds on spring break. Affordable, and a great time.
