Lakefront 2 bedroom retreat

Charming lakefront building built in 1903 as a boys gymnasium, converted into 12 separate apartment units in the 1950's. The 2 bedroom unit, located on the ground floor facing the lake with spectacular views. This property sits on a spacious lakefront lot, in a residential neighborhood.

This ground floor unit includes two bedrooms and, 1.5 baths. The master bedroom has a connecting powder room and a queen size bed. The second bedroom includes a full size bed, and the living room can sleep additional people on the sofa bed. The main entrance and dining room are sunken, so there is a step to access the kitchen, living room and hallway.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a gas stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, dishwasher and a fridge.

The patio, directly outside the front door faces the lake. A bar with stools is set outside on the patio for you to sit enjoy coffee or wine, while watching the sunrise or sunset.

Kayaks, paddleboard and canoe is provided for your use.

There is a coin operated laundry facility on site. Laundry supplies are available. A community barbecue is also available for your use, except it is closed during the winter months. There is a fire pit by the lake, you will enjoy relaxing by it, roasting hot dogs, making s'mores. This along with the dock, and bbq are for community use, our guests and our tenants.

The dock (for guests and tenants only) is yours to enjoy the lake for relaxing and swimming.

This is an older building where we have permanent tenants that also live on the property. During the summer our tenants and their guests enjoy the facilities provided. Please be aware if you book you are sharing the common areas and especially during the summer do not mind people having fun on the lake. Again, this is an older building.

The dock, and the common areas are shared by the tenants.

Great location. Quiet neighborhood
Interior of location was well furnished. The exterior could use some maintenance. Water hoses were left scattered on the walkways and landscaping tools and cleanup debris left on trail to the lake. Great location just needs more oversight for safety.

Okay, but easily could have been excellent.
Outdoor space is just terrific. Indoor could have gotten an excellent review if not for lack of detail that made the stay less than fully enjoyable. Coffee maker was very dirty and no filters were provided. Coffee provided seemed fresh enough but the container it was in was just nasty. After trying it once we ended up going to Starbucks everyday at $11 a day. Adds up. Beds were comfortable but the pillows were kind of flat and need replaced. There was an obvious hole in the sheets on one of the beds. Shampoo and soap was provided in large plastic pump bottles which we really don't like. I wouldnt mention that except the shampoo pump bottle was broken and didn't work. Shower curtain was not connected to almost half it's hangers and there was somebody's glasses hanging from it. Not a big deal but suggests to me a lack of attention to detail when cleaning the bathrooms. There was misinformation in the email that gives check in and general property info. More attention to detail and we could easily give this place an excellent rating but as it was we couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Beautiful view
We had a wonderful stay. The unit was perfect for us. The view is beautiful and the sunset view is just stunning. The weather was a bit chilly for the kayaks so that will be on the to do list for the next time when we come during the summer.
