Clean and convenient for lake access

If you are looking for basic accommodations with easy access to the boat ramp and beach on Carlyle Lake, this rental meets the need. Pros: Very clean, easy keypad access, just a few minutes to walk to the beach, solid assortment of kitchen supplies, plenty of extra blankets. Cons: Keyesport is a very rural community that is sadly run down in some areas. The street where this rental is located has a mix of nice homes and abandoned buildings. While the decor in this rental is outdated, it is well kept to support basic needs. We have three teenage girls, so having only one mirror in the whole place made it a bit challenging for us. An end table for the lamp and coffee table in the living room would make a world of difference for creature comforts. All in all, it’s a convenient and clean place to hang your hat if you are wanting to spend time at the lake.
