This house has everything you need

The drive was easy once we tackled the steep driveway for the first time. Such an easy check in. Very clean home. Comfortable beds. The Pac Man table video game was a hit with my sons. We do wish the hunting arcade game that was shown in the online listing pictures was working. The hot tub was nice once we balanced the chemicals in it as the PH was really high and there was no chlorine / bromine tablets in the dispenser . And although this is a lake house, it would be beneficial to those who book this to know when the lake levels will be high enough to enjoy the lake. We did not do our research and were not aware the area around this house would be dry because the water was just starting to be released at the dam
