Reviewer Comments: It was a great moment that we spent there I really want to go back and enjoy the lake, some good barbecue and a beautiful night, can’t wait to go back ##### Hender R. ### 4/10 Poor #### Carrie K. 25 Aug 2025 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy I added little just now tooWhen I arrived I called as the place was hard to find and did not look like the photos one bit.The lock box is in the back - in a covered cement room that has holes in the screens so it's quite buggy.There are 2 adult size rusty chairs and 2 little kid size on the deck.There is dim lighting throughout, bring a light if you want to get ready and a mirror.Cobwebs were in the room with the big bed which I think housekeeping should take care of. There was also some broken odd rectangle thing propped on the wall, still unsure of what that was or why it's there.The shower was rusty, the knob is a stick you have to push hard to move and I think the stains are rust but not sure. The well water has a smell in there also.There are two bedrooms but no ceilings above them so you can hear everything between the bedrooms.The cost does NOT match the experience.It is on the lake but there is an overgrown burm so you have to walk through some weeds if you want to get to the lake from the house directly. I think the dock may have been shared but it was hard to tell and it was in use so we did not try it.Overall, we were so disappointed between what we spent, what we thought and what we had to stay in.BRING dish soap -they give a little one and we bought paper goods but there is no dishwasher and they want you to wash all your dishes and put them away.We brought Clorox wipes and wiped down all the door knobs, sinks, and counters as there was some stickines ##### Carrie K.
