It was very clean. The layout was wonderful and a nice easy walkout to the lake. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. Very comfortable and would stay there again. ##### Joyce A. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Matthew K. 4 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Very Good Property Overall was very pleased. Great location on a beautiful lake. The home was split into two rentals. The floor creaked when the people upstairs were in the facility which was a bit annoying. The description was that it slept 4\. That is a stretch as two slept on a futon in the living room. Overall good but the description can be refined to more accurately depict the place. ##### Matthew K. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024
