The lake, pool and other amenities close by were perfect, very walkable area, even with narrow roads. House was clean, very nice spaces. Loved the front porch and the rocking chairs. My only concern would be the parking. The description states that there is parking in front of the house, which there is, but I think you need to be sure people know that there is only 1 space to park at the property and it is a smaller space, a mini-van fit but just barely and it has a steep entrance. Otherwise - we were very comfortable there and would rent again if we head back to that area. ##### Jim U.

We felt the place was surface clean but not thorough. We dropped something that rolled under a dresser in the first bedroom and under the bed and dresser it was extremely dirty/dusty. I would point out that upon arrival we noticed a crack across the across the top of the footboard, about 2-3 inches from the top in the bedroom that had the double bed with the shared bath.(I took a picture of it.) Had a couple of issues with lights not working and Sunburst sent someone out within about 30 minutes and the issues were all corrected....turns out bulbs were burnt out. ##### Thomas Schenk This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathy Hall 11 Oct 2020 #### We enjoyed our home away from home very much.
