Just needs A/C

Nice property, but the A/C is definitely not sufficient for the home. There was one mini-split in the living room upstairs and one in the bedroom upstairs, and that’s it. Both A/C units are old and need to be replaced. There also desperately needs to be A/C units downstairs. The house got up to 84° each day. I understand it was unseasonably warm, but this was definitely an issue and enough so that we likely wouldn’t stay in this property again. The access to the lake was great! So that’s a major positive, along with the deck upstairs. The only other, somewhat, negative thing was not having a dishwashing machine. Not the end of the world, but would’ve been nice. Overall it’s not a bad property and probably a really nice one outside of Summer.
