My husband and I spent a week in this amazing dockside home. It has everything you need! The owners are accommodating and we're top notch. The home is perfectly located along the lake near the town of Mayville. within
We loved it. The view is stunning and the back porch is ideal in every way. The kitchen is modern and well-stocked, and there are tons of great places to sit, all with views of the lake. The only drawback was the pull out couch in the living room, which was fine for our 18 year old son, but it’s hard to imagine a couple fitting on it. Make sure you wear water shoes in the lake - rocks are sharp (but they do have water shoes to wear). We look forward to coming back. Fabulous getaway
The view and access to the lake are amazing. Unfortunately the back deck was filthy. It was obviously never cleaned after winter. There were spider webs on everything plus there was animal feces in the back yard leading to the long dock and it was way too big to be from water foul. We had to take cold showers, I’m assuming because the water heater was never turned up. If you rent make sure you bring plenty of water and don’t plan on washing your clothes as I did. There are instructions after arriving saying the water is palatable but they recommend bottle water. They also recommended going to the laundromat to wash your light colored things. I specifically rent properties so I can wash my clothes before heading to the next point on our trips. It’s so sad because as I said the view and setting are just beautiful. If you don’t mind sitting on filthy chairs and taking cold showers this is the place for you.
