The location of this house is perfect. The lake access was wonderful for me and my two boys, and we really appreciated the kayak and paddleboard that are available. The yard is definitely rustic and the walk down from the house to the lake can be a bit tough to navigate for little kids or anyone who isn't 100%, but I liked that rustic vibe. There were tons of deer that came through the yard and there's a bald eagle (maybe more than one) that hangs out in a nearby tree, which was really cool to see. The Weber grill is very nice and good quality, we loved the gas fireplace, and the dock was convenient for getting into and out of the water.
The house itself took a little time to grow on me. One star is overly harsh but the house could use a few fixes. It was very clean when we arrived but it still smelled very musty. Not sure if it had been empty for a while, but it wasn't a great first impression, though it lessened over the week we were there. I do think the bathroom has been regrouted, per another visitor's suggestion. The back screen door doesn't close properly and the back door doesn't have a lock at all. There are only two windows along the lake side that open, but the screens have holes in them so we really couldn't have the windows open or there would be a ton of bugs inside, which was a real bummer. And the couch really does need to be replaced.
Overall, it was a very sweet place but a few small fixes would make it really stand out.
