Vintage Lake Cottage-Not Luxury Home
This house is advertised and priced as a Luxury Home and it definitely is not. It has old finishes, cracking paint and vintage bathrooms. It is better described as Shabby Chic. There was an entire office room pictured in the listing that you don't have access to because someone else lives upstairs and the furnishings are not what are pictured.
Pros: Location and outdoor seating areas. Front porch is awesome.
Cons:
1. Smells like an Antique Store - I had to go purchase Glade Plug-ins.
2. No Coffee - Coffee makers but no coffee. Even a Motel 6 provides coffee. Not a great way to spend the 1st morning.
3. Portable AC Units - the units are noisy. The one in the Master Bedroom is not even mounted properly and sits right next to the side of the bed which makes sleeping difficult with the noise.
4. 1 3/4 bathrooms - not 2. Neither showers is comfortable to use. 1 is a tiny stall and the water shoots out onto the floor if you aren't careful. The full bathroom had a shower caddy on it that had to be removed in order to get the shower to point downward and not shoot water directly at the back wall and onto the floor. Also, the shower has never been updated so even at 5'5" I had to crouch under it or remove the wand to wash my hair.
I will end on a positive note to say that the rental agency was responsive and offered me a small rebate for the inconveniences.
