No issues with checking in. It was easy. Instructions provided by the property manager was very accurate. The view to the lake was magnificent. Furniture arrangements by the windows were as such that you could sit down relax and enjoy the scenery and listening to the lake and birds. During our stay there was no extra noise ... it was just the lake and birds. We're planning on going back for one of our summer vacations. ##### Farhad R.

We found the side stairs but they were in bad shape also and i fell 3 times and cut up my arm and foot. The house was lovely but in the pictures it looks like the deck out front is part of the rental but it was part of the lower level rental. We had a great time but fortunately we didn't come and go a lot. ##### Lisa B.

Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Denise S. 15 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location The views from living/dining room were as advertised, lovely. The bedrooms were generous but one bedroom beds were extremely uncomfortable. Bathrooms clean.Fireplace didn’t work. The kitchen could definitely use all new frypans, oven needs to be cleaned. Knives could use a good sharpener. Outside seating area should be cleaned up from Cobwebs etc. The advertisement should be more transparent with the access up to the second floor. 46 stairs in bad uneven shape makes for trip and fall hazard, and not easy with luggage. Greg was great getting back to us with any questions we had. ##### Denise S. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Shelley C. 20 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy We originally rented this property because we wanted views of the lake and sunsets. And the listing advertised sunset views. Nowhere in the listing did it say anything about the multitude of stairs you had to climb to get into the unit. Nowhere in the listing did it say anything about the floors being badly sloped and uneven inside the unit. Which having a bad back and bad knees made it difficult to navigate the unit itself. The views of the lake were gorgeous, but the sunsets were hidden behind trees. You had to go outside to see them which was not a big deal except for the multitude of stairs that you had to climb down and climb back up. Everything else about this unit was perfect. It's such a shame that they didn't tell you until check-in time about the stairs, which happened less than 24 hours before we were checking in. Had my sister come with us. There's no way she would have been able to get into this unit. We chose not to stay at other units along the beach that were less money because they showed there were stairs. And so for these two reasons I advise people to be aware before you go there. Everything else is as advertised and the views of the lake are absolutely gorgeous. ##### Shelley C. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Elizabeth S. 1 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Beach Front Property The views and location were prime. Some of the property description was not as accurate as hoped. Parking seems to be a first come basis, although it was supposed to be for the upper unit I don't believe it is very clear for the lower unit renter that they are to park at the beach public access. The bathroom on main level has a wood ant issue and we purchased ant traps to eliminate that issue. The property needs to have face clothes and dish clothes, the laundry needs to be braced as the washer will shake itself towards door when in spin cycle no matter the setting or amount of laundry, SO keep door open when doing laundry. The upper bedroom has a fireplace for heat but that would not stay running so we left that space as is and used the king room on main floor with space heater for warmth. I UNDERSTAND that this property is an older/heritage property its just unfortunate that full maintenance hasn't been applied to showcase the potential this home could offer. ##### Elizabeth S.
