We had a wonderful time! The place was great for our family. It does list a room with 2 queen beds but that was not the case. Just one, which I did notice there wasn’t a picture with 2 queen beds but thought maybe there was some changes. So many stairs to the dock which can’t be helped but definitely be aware regarding little kids and or older adults!! The dock was fun to jump off of and swim from! The rooms were nice and clean. There’s a sweet little panel in the main bedroom closet with height marks from I’m assuming the family who owns it. So cute!! Our refrigerator died the night of day 2, and they were able to replace fairly quickly with minimal food loss! I would encourage them to purchase new pots and pans as they are all scratched and peeling and we were quite uncomfortable using them. Not the safest to eat off but otherwise the kitchen was stocked very well with all needs!! The marina is super close which was nice for us since we had to rent a pontoon boat. We would definitely like to come back sometime!! Oh the Hot tub was very nice to have!

Walk to water was difficult, parking was scarce but it was handled very well by the marina.

House was great. Lots of steps, but we knew that going in. Parking was tight but fine for three cars. Very convenient. The docs are close to the neighbors, but that’s what you get there. Only negatives are the house was not very clean at all. The grill is filthy. It needs replaced. My kids would not even let me cook food on it And they’re pretty flexible. And the pots and pans are very bad. Just need to spend a few dollars and upgrade clean. Otherwise, it was great.

We’ve stayed in many houses in Flat Hollow over the years and always love our time there. Parking is tight for every house so we were not bothered by that. The amount of steps to the water (95) were also expected and fine for us. There were a few individual steps that looked and felt like they were going to break at any moment and would suggest those few boards be replaced. We stayed at Bullwinkle about 15 years ago and I am sad to say the property hasn’t been kept up well. The pros: Refrigerator and grill seem to have been recently replaced and were nice. Ice maker on the counter was really useful. Patio furniture was nice. AC worked well. Never ran out of hot water for showers. Dock was great. The cons: The house needs a deep clean. Carpet was dirty and stained throughout - we kept shoes on everywhere. The vents were caked in dust. Lots of cobwebs and a layer of dust like basic dusting hadn’t been done in a long time. The pots and pans need replaced. We bought a pan and used that instead of eating bits of Teflon with our meals. Knives are very dull. There were no hot pads so we purchased and left those. Insufficient lighting in kitchen. New towels were provided (Mainstay brand) but hadn’t been washed since sitting on Walmart’s shelves as they all still had the stickers on. Upstairs shower curtain was moldy and tub didn’t drain well along with the sink in one of the bedrooms upstairs. Bunk bed ladder was broken. A few fixes and a deep clean would go a long way.
