Disliked: Cleanliness
The house was very well eqiupped/stocked. Everything we needed was there. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was amazing! The neighbors were friendly. The dock was very nice and of course, the lake was great!The negative would be that there were lots of cobwebs and spiders in the corners in each room (I paid 250 cleaning fee!!), and the property needed work. You had to walk up and down a very steep little hill (or use the algae-covered steps), then walk through marshy squishy wet area before getting to the lake. There was a giant tree stump covering the tiny little spot of beach so the girls could not play there. The 9:00am check-out was the biggest negative. I've never had such an early check-out time. It's usually 11:00 or Noon. It was not a fun morning to end our vacation!Although we had a wonderful time, I would probably not stay here again, even though the person we dealt with was very friendly and nice.
