We were able to access the TV in the living room after two calls and two codes. We are not very tech savvy. I'm retired so the steep, narrow treads of the stairs started to hurt my knees.Nice to have all the bedrooms on the same level with young grandchildren. New windows in the house so there was no window AC in one of the bedrooms. Hard to cool down. Lovely beach and dock, The municipal beach with a slide is one block away so we had two beaches. There is plenty of traffic on the road, we learned to stop and look most drivers were looking out for pedestrians. ##### Mary P.

We enjoy the house, the location, the creek, the large back area, the lake. The house is clean upon check in. Communication with property manager is good with timely responses. Areas of improvement include an air conditioner in the front bedroom. Window cleaning to control dirt, bugs, debris. The shoreline should be raked. ##### Liz T.

Would have been better with some minor upkeep. Biggest complaint was the number of spiders inside the house. The beach needs some upkeep. We cleaned up some of the debris and weeds, but there were still weeds that were large and need to be pulled. Once the beach was cleaned up, the kids had fun playing in the sand. The water was pretty clean and the views of sunrise and sunset are amazing. ##### David C.

Could use some fresh couches but decorated nicely. The kitchen was spacious and loved the big table . I washed everything we used before using it. Cabinets and everything in them in the kitchen and bathroom need to be wiped down and washed. They are dirty. I would give it 5 stars except for this. ##### Michelle S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### diane m. 8 Jul 2023 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Great location The location is very nice. Close to Barsness park which has a nice playground and splash pad if you have young kids. It was nice to have toys available for the kids at the property. The ice maker was a plus. Checkin was easy. A few suggestions: definitely need steps to the dock. Also, there was food left in the cabinets. I have never seen that at a vrbo. I had no place to put groceries. Kitchen cabinets need a good clean out and restock/organization. Overall a very nice stay. ##### diane m. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ---
