We booked our 4th of July weekend stay 3+ months in advance. Upon check-in, we found the rental to not quite meet what we felt was presented in the photos for the following reasons…
- The yard was not maintained
- Several rows of roof shingles were missing over the from door and several hanging off the front of the house, not a good impression when we arrived :(
- Plus nextdoor neighbor property super sketchy
- The back deck was completely demolished with random construction gear in the yard, leaving no comfortable 4th of July patio grilling/seating. Big bummer. Unfortunately, it was not comfortable to spend time outside of the cabin due to unkempt yard. The front deck was not inviting, a few dusty plastic chairs and no other furnishings. One week before our arrival, there was a quick mention of back demo in email. Nothing we could do at that point on a holiday weekend!
- Thick cobwebs in the beams above the bed in the master, felt dusty/dingy upstairs.
Surprisingly, zero lake towels provided nor any useful items for a day at the lake, such as a cooler, umbrella, etc. Not having to buy these sorts of things (for family travel) SHOULD be a perk of staying at a rental home versus a hotel.
A fan in each room would go a long way in the summertime as this property does not have A/C. We found 1, but there are 3 bedrooms. All beds comfortable, except the full in the 2nd room upstairs (too hard).
Small investments by the owner would make this rental much better. Thx!
