The home it a little dated & some doors were hard to lock (bathrooms) but has a nice size living room for our group of 10. The walk from the home to the main road to town is only about .25 miles. In less then 10min you are ether at a restaurant or at the lake. The walk might be a bit step for some but our group ranging from 3 to 70 did it several times each day.

The house was nice, plenty of room for our family of 6 and our Husky. Loved the neighborhood, the best part is the easy walk to the lake! Beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay at this house.

Great Location

Check-in was simple and quick with a key code. Kitchen was well stocked except for only two kitchen towels, could have used more. Plenty of beds for our family. Free Wi-Fi provided. A nice short walk to downtown, grocery store and beach. The back yard was a bit lacking though we did enjoy the hammocks, and it was nice to have a fenced in yard for the dog. The house overall was clean, but needed a few repairs and touch-ups.

Excellent location but the property was not clean. Cobwebs everywhere and furniture was stained. Bedroom closets and drawers stuffed with items so no room to put our belongings during the stay. The kitchen was well stocked with pans and utensils.
