It was very private and had a beautiful view of the lake from the large front window. The whole lower level was the bedroom and included a washer and dryer. It should be noted that the only bathroom is on the top floor so it could be a challenge for someone with mobility issues. We personally didn't find this a problem. All the basics were provided. Probably the most important feature of any vacation rental is the Host. We found Ellen to be very personable and has a lovely sense of humor. She is very responsive to questions and proved to be a superb host. ##### William W.
