This is a perfect place to stay for my family. We loved the older lake house as well as the new upgrades in the kitchen. When we walked inside, everyone said "wow this is cool!" Having access to a private dock was amazing. My 2 boys spent almost all their time either swimming, paddle boarding or fishing off of the floating dock. We loved everything about the stay and will 100% be coming back to stay again in the future. The house was clean when we arrived and had everything we needed which meant we didn't need to make ANY trips to the store and could spend all our time at the property enjoying the summer sun and lake.The only "issue" we ran into, was finding a wasp nest on one of the fold up tables on the upstairs back deck. We didn't use the table until our final night so it wasn't a problem at all.
The property is a lil farther from town than i thought but so worth it!! Looks like a little old cabin your grandparents would own, loved it felt very at home. The bed was super comfy and just an overall a great get away for my birthday. Will definitely come back again.
We so enjoyed our time at this sweet little gem of a cabin! A little dated, but that just added to the charm. The view was grand. Especially at night watching the stars and the moon reflecting on the water! Very tranquil and peaceful setting!
The Jonesâ
We knew it was risky staying at a place with no reviews, but wanted to give it a try. Overall the place is fine, but it needs a lot of work to be worth what they charge.
Pros:
- The bed is actually a king size bed.
- The location is easy to get to and the view from the deck is beautiful.
- The house is only about 20 minutes from town.
- The TV is nice and works well.
Cons:
- The house was dirty when we showed up. Dirty floors, dusty surfaces, cobwebs all over the ceiling and corners of all the rooms covered in hundreds of dead fruit flies. Thankfully we had brought our own cleaning supplies, but it was obvious it hadn't actually been cleaned to the COVID procedures they claim in the listing.
- There were a lot of (alive) fruit flies all over the house, so much that we couldn't leave any food out and constantly had to swipe them away when we were trying to eat.
- The bed is WAY too soft and droopy. You could feel any tiny movement of the other person.
- There are soft spots on the deck that seemed sketchy and like the wood is rotted.
- The listing makes it look like the deck is attached to the yard--it is not. It also makes it look like there are just a few steps down to the water. You have to go out the side of the house and down a steep set of 25+ stairs to get to the yard, and a few more steps down to the ledge next to the water. This was fine for us but would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues and this information is not included in the listing anywhere. Also the photos show a little beach area next to the deck, but that isn't the case. There is a concrete section you can stand on but then it drops right into the water. If you are looking for a spot with a little beach area this isn't it.
- The trash outside was completely full with additional bags of trash next to the bin when we arrived. On our second night there some animals got into the trash bags and made a mess, which was annoying to clean up.
- The futon is incredibly uncomfortable to sit on, let alone sleep on. In the "history of the house" book it says the futon was purchased in 2002, which is quite obvious.
