Amazing lakefront house- DISCOUNTED RATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8/10 Good
"The lake/dock were great even though there was little bit of a walk to get to them. The house was very spacious and everything was great except the master bathroom did not look like it got cleaned. It smelled like urine really bad and there were a couple bath mats in there that I put in the garage which is where the smell was coming from which was really gross. The tile and grout were also very dirty and it was brownish/yellow in the shower. The other complaint was that it showed a "game room" with pool table. My husband and son both brought their pool sticks and were excited to play and when we got there the pool table was in the garage which is not climate controlled of course. The pool table was in really bad shape and definitely should not be advertised in the pictures. Besides not being able to play pool, the house was great and the dock/lake were awesome! We rented a boat for a day and used the dock which was perfect. WE also did a lot of fishing and floating in the water and used the kayaks and paddle board that were provided at the house. For the discounted price, this was a great deal despite the few issues. I just would not advertise the "game room". Lucia was amazing and responded very quickly to any questions we had before we arrived."

"The property was fantastic. Good space, well equipped, easy access. No issues. The only issue I had was the cleaning fee was tacked on for a one-night stay and wasn’t included in the quote I received during booking. Possibly my oversight, but it made the short stay unreasonably expensive - would have been palatable for an extended stay."
