The house is perfect for a guys’ golf trip with 5 large bedrooms, a large basement with its own kitchen, full bathroom and pool table. The deck covers a majority of the exterior of the home and provides a nice view of the river. Altogether the home easily exceeded our expectations. ##### Jacob L. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diedra E. 26 Dec 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Overall this lake view home was wonderful I arrived with my family of 8 Adults for our Annual Christmas Gathering. Overall this lake view home was wonderful! And My Family and I had a great time. But, the home is not fully renovated and still needs a lot of work done. I would love to rent again once it is fully renovated. There are some things that need to be addressed prior to renting again. The stairs and walk way into the house need to be leveled correctly. The top stair leading into the home is has a larger gap when stepping up from the second step. Also the concrete is breaking up leading into the front door. If not careful someone could fall. Curtains in the bedrooms for privacy is a must. Cleaning could be better. Smoke detectors (We didn’t see any and there is a gas stove). We found hair in the bathrooms, Stains on a blanket, broken faucet when we arrived and s few other minor things. The cords for the sofa loungers was accessible and stretched out across walking areas and is definitely a hazard. The Gas oven would not work on bake which caused problems when cooking dinner. The pots that were provided were horrible. No steak knives or wine opener. There were batteries in some of the tv remotes. Remote missing back cover in Living room. Television connection in the living room, main level bedroom, and one bedroom upstairs was working . The other bedroom upstairs had a television but did not have a cable box to connect. The master bedroom in the basement had no tv and the second one had a tv but it would not connect to the WiFi. There is also a refrigerator and cabinets in the basement. The refrigerator is old and not in working condition. The floors in the basement and the rooms are all concrete. Accessing outside was a challenge. You could only go out the sliders on the main floor and there was no railing on the stairs to the lake. There was a Lovely porch area but it needed cleaning and patio furniture. The sliders in the kitchen leading to another patio was dirty and the lawn was overgrown so much that you could not go out that way. The windows and glass sliders all around needed to be freed of spider webs , dirt, and debris. They could also use a power wash. I would love to visit again this year but I’ll have to keep checking back to see if the renovations are done. ##### Diedra E.
