Unbelievably quiet nights! View is better than advertised! Location was perfect for us as far as proximity to the things we planned to do. Access to the lake is disappointing. There is no reasonable way to carry anything to the muddy shore such as coolers, chairs, umbrellas, kayaks, floaties, etc. No outside watercraft are allowed on the lake anyway. This wonderful lake is best enjoyed from the deck at the house. Speaking of the deck, be advised, there is no protection from sun and rain. We brought a 9’X10’ canopy/shelter and set it up on the deck... worked great! BBQ is new and is of good quality . Range over oven should have been retired 15 years ago, the heating elements do not fit into the receptacles correctly. Pots and pans are very good. Over range microwave is inop and a small countertop model was added. Clothes dryer takes forever to dry. As a retired firefighter I find that disturbing having seen first hand where clogged venting can lead. Hot tub takes some figuring out (we could not find any instructions)
Don’t put any adults on the sofa/sleeper in the lower den. Typical horrid mattress for any sofa/sleeper. King and Queen mattresses are decent but set at a comically “Oompa Loompa” low height. All three adults in our party have nice shin bruises from misjudging the arc around the bed. We laughed about it but it is not funny when it happens.
Final thoughts: read the reviews. Very little hyperbole... good truths in all of them. Obviously many renters were not really bothered by some of the little frustrations that bothered us. Lastly, cannot overstate the view from this house... the hawks, golden eagles, geese, ducks, hummingbirds.
