I’ll start by saying the owner was very nice! But we did not expect him to be there on arrival, or checkout (came back at 1030, check out was 11), where we found out he would be staying on the top portion of the house and we would be staying on the bottom, as this is not the usual experience I was used to. After we explained that this was not enclosed in the description, he did leave instead of staying. Another thing that was slightly uncomfortable was connecting doors to the top portion of the house, into our kitchen, and despite showing it was locked, actually did not lock properly. I also was disappointed with the cleanliness of the place. It seemed as though someone had stayed there the night before. I think this place has a lot of potential with some minor changes. Some positive aspects were that it is directly on the lake and very private, with a fire place and fire wood included. The bathroom also seemed to be newly renovated! Another positive is that they allowed two dogs and the property set up was dog friendly. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Brooklyn!
