We had an amazing time reuniting with family at this beautiful lake house. There were pros and cons, but overall, we had a wonderful time and may stay here again in the future. To be honest, I really didn’t know how much we’d like jumping off the platform into the lake- but it ended up being one of our favorite parts! It was very deep off the platform, so easy to jump in (or dive in my case). The water was very clean and refreshing. The kayaks were a lot of fun too! My 6 year old daughter was an expert by the time our 5 days were up. And almost everyone tried them out. The boat ramp area allowed for us to get in a little easier & there were shallower areas over there, as well, to stand in the water. Lots of rocks, but still nice. (Definitely need water shoes!) The boat house had little fishes swimming all around & my sister got the biggest kick out of them. The fire pit area was nice and a great place to enjoy s’mores. The lake and view are absolutely amazing! We had the balcony room #5 with the 2 beds- I woke up to watch the sunrise every morning. It was so peaceful and beautiful, nature at its best. I didn’t like the chairs on the balcony, but the rocking chairs were so comfy! The hot tub was great, even in a big downpour! The view was amazing and when the storms rolled in, we could see everything from the dining room area. One morning, the lawn crew came to mow the lawn- they were so quick & efficient! Overall, a wonderful stay! And the house was very clean. Hosts responded quickly & were friendly.
Cons: The pictures were a little deceiving at first- the driveway was A LOT steeper than we thought. The whole house & area were definitely not handicapped friendly & made for an interesting experience getting the older relatives into the house, but we managed. The game room is in a separate building, up the hill, closer to the road. When we first arrived, 4 pm, the door you come in has the afternoon sun. The blinds downstairs were left open, so the downstairs was very hot as was the door. The a/c was set at 76’F! that temp took a long time to cool the house down by late that night, it worked ok. the downstairs was still very warm until the 2nd full day-no main vents in the downstairs living room, just ones leading from the kitchen ∫o the dining room area. kitchen was nice, but the microwave and fridge shorted out a few times & we had to reset w/the breaker. Deck could use railing going down to lake. Couch was low, you sink & it separates
