8/10 Good

We enjoyed our stay and the house is cute. There are some nice features like an adorable kids’ room, makeup towels, and a sauna…the sauna was divine! Walking distance to the lake and close to Downtown Gainesville. The hosts were very responsive and they even had a xmas tree and lights up for the holidays. I would definitely describe the style as “rustic” with some modern upgrades.In terms of cleanliness, the house could use a deep cleaning. I did not enjoy the clogged drain in the upstairs shower (the hosts sent drain cleaner for us to use which was helpful but we didn’t really have time to complete maintenance duties) and the downstairs shower had a bunch of hairs all over which were 100% not ours. The walls and baseboards are pretty dirty overall. And we did encounter a few bugs…but maybe that’s normal for a lake house? The freezer and fridge need a thorough cleaning. I say all this not to insult the house/hosts but to let others get a feel for the rental. Lastly, some informational items: there is no disposal so if it’s a long-term stay do expect to constantly clean food out of the kitchen sink; there are only sheer curtains in the downstairs bedroom but it’s pretty shady and private (but not a blackout situation); and we could have used more hangers.
