The house was very clean. Some updated cookware and access to the laundry would be a nice add.

Another great experience at this location... hoping to keep it an annual tradition.

The property was very well kept and just like the photos! We truly loved the setup and accessibility...didn't want to leave! The people we spoke to in the neighboring properties were all very welcoming and friendly.
Honestly, the description/photos don't properly explain how scenic the property is. It's super close to the lake - water views from inside the home...and the community beach/dock area is a short walk away...beautiful view!
The only issues we had were that the air conditioner didn't seem to really work. It was blowing somewhat cool air but the temperature of the home never really got below 82-85 degrees. Also, I was looking forward to having access to a washer and dryer which were shown in the photos but were taped up with signs not to use. Perhaps I missed it, but I would make this clear in the listing that they are not for rental use.
We hope to return in the future!
