6 / 10Average·Jun 2020
The kitchen and shower of this home are just fine for a vacation. Internet access was great! But it would be a fantastic vacation if there were some minor updates: Replace the old and broken furniture in the living area; and replace the miserable mattresses and pillows on both beds and the day bed.
I wanted to note that I rented this property because the photos suggested one could simply walk out of the house and into the lake. Not quite. You have to go down two steps (no railings) to get to the lake. This isn't a problem for most people, but if you have a disability, as I do, then it makes it nearly impossible to enjoy the lake. I will not return.
