This home is beautiful, and the views are breathtaking, especially the sunrise each morning. We were pleasantly surprised to find a basket of breakfast foods was provided to see us through the first morning. The main living room was fabulous, and the gourmet kitchen made cooking so much fun. The warming drawer was a huge hit! We were disappointed to be unable to use the massive refrigerator, because it was in need of repair. The owner, Sam, called the day we arrived to let us know he was providing another smaller refrigerator for our use. We actually spent a large amount of time in the kitchen, preparing meals for the 12 of us, and the time was made more enjoyable with the lake as a backdrop. The oversized pantry had room for everything we brought in and more.
The outdoor areas were wonderful for enjoying lake views. The fire pit was perfect for making smores, and the swings surrounding it made it more fun. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, although we didn’t have much luck…it was all about the memories anyway. The shuffleboard and pool table gave us hours of entertainment. We enjoyed playing games at the dinner table upstairs.
The master bedroom and bathroom are fabulous! Two of the downstairs bedrooms had nice walk-in closets, but the master suite closet upstairs was not available to use. The beds were comfortable, which is really nice for a long-term stay. There were plenty of blankets and bath essentials (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) provided to make the stay comfortable.
The house could really use more bath towels and wash cloths, especially since it is advertised to adequately sleep up to 18 people. There would be plenty of storage in the bathrooms to house the extra bath linens – the extra storage also really comes in handy for being able to unpack while you’re there. The hot tub towels came in handy as we ran out of bath towels and wash cloths very quickly even though we did laundry daily.
The special touches…for example, baskets with toiletries in the bathrooms…made our stay so pleasant. We would definitely return to this amazing property again.
Note: The property is not a good fit for those with mobility issues. There are many stairs, which are steep and somewhat slick, as they are wood. The stairs also have differing heights…two of us actually fell on them, without major injuries, so we did want to mention they can be tricky.
