We could not find it and there were no directions. We planned to throw out the garbage Sunday at check-out, however, the area did not open until after 2 on Sunday which is after check-out hours. Thankfully, the owner was kind enough to allow us leave the garbage at the home. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle C. 11 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Lake Home I rented this property for a girls weekend with a few friends.
