Owner is very responsive, accommodating, and communicative. The house is very clean and well kept. I happen to stay during the record setting windchills and snow, so I was house-bound for a day. I was able to spend that time reading all about the place and owner's family history; which was neat. There was also plenty of room in the kitchen, so I knocked out all my Christmas prep. Given the weather, I wasn't able to take advantage of the huge flat lakefront yard but can only imagine how awesome that must be in fair weather. For any bird watchers, there were plenty of bluejays, cardinals, waxwings, and juncos visiting the property (not to mention ducks, geese, herons, and osprey out on the lake). Hope to make it back some time!
