Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The stay was great. The views were amazing. The house itself probably needed work, but it’s cosmetic stuff. For this price, there are nicer places to stay. With that being said, we enjoyed ourselves in other places, and had immaculate views. The fire pit by the lake was a great touch.

The place was absolutely beautiful it was equipped with anything you could need for cooking and cleaning and the beach and all that the beach was overgrown and unusable was the only downfall of this beautiful place

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We were very happy with the property. It was beautifully decorated. The only thing we didn't care for is the master bath. It had a strong smell around the toilet. The shower in there was terrible. The smell when using the water smelled like sewage. We used the other bathroom which was much better. The kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were satisfactory.
