Disliked: Cleanliness
Check-in was easy. Ryan was quick to respond to any questions I had. The location was quiet and perfect for antique shopping which is what my visit was about. The cleanliness of the property definitely needs some work. Also there are rotten steps leading to the front porch and loose railings on the back deck. The outside furniture is quite old and not in very good shape.

If you're seeking peace and quiet this may be your place. A couple of safety issues need repair: rotting entry steps, no battery in smoke detector. Weak WiFi probably can't be made better,

Well, the owner was nice and polite and very responsive. Nothing bad to say about them but the house was a little bit of a let down from online. Checkin was great no issues. However there are cob webs in various corners throughout the house, the toilet in the master bath was pretty nasty and there was hair in the tub and sink. The biggest let down though was the fact that online they show a picture of a jacuzzi tub and there is one here but it did not work and that really upset me. I am a disabled veteran and was really looking forward to soaking in the jacuzzi. The only other thing was from the online pictures it looks like you can see the lake right out the back and sitting on the back porch with binoculars you still couldn't see the water. On top of all that, they charged a 125 cleaning fee when I really don't feel the cleaning people did a very good job before we got here. The location was nice and quiet very nice area. Loved the front and back porch sitting areas. Has seperate sitting room and living room. Has laptop hookup for mouse monitor and keyboard has wifi. A lot of good features but the non working jacuzzi really bothered me a lot. Overall a good experience though. The host was great no complaints with them at all.
