"The listing was everything it promised. We were there for a small retreat with seven women, aged 40-70. Kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, and gathering spaces were all great. There were plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy as well. The balconies were wonderful.Logistically, I probably shrugged off the cautions about stairs too lightly—there are a lot, especially if schlepping in a lot of stuff. We unloaded ice chests at the bottom and took smaller loads. The main floor, where the living space and one bedroom are, is a flight up an outdoor staircase, and another staircase takes you up to the third floor with two more bedrooms. The tower view room stairs are difficult, but worth the climb for the view! The woman who slept there had no complaints, and all but one of our crew braved the stairs at least once for some balcony time! The ground floor room is comfortable, but is best accessed with the outdoor stairs—because the “cool” factor of the spiral stairs wears off quickly. All of it ended up being doable for our group. But it’s something to consider if anyone in your group has limitations. Cleanliness was fine—it’s a lake house surrounded by trees and nature, with a sand volleyball court outside—we weren’t expecting pristine. Access to the water was a simple walk away, and it was lovely. The fire pit was great. There was plenty of wood gathered for our use. Phillip was quick to respond to all queries, and really helpful. I highly recommend this home, and would use it again. "
