So I loved the home itself, I was bummed because the distance to the actual pictured rocks was over 30 miles away when I asked prior to booking, the lakeshores to pictured rocks national forest was just over 2 miles away, but the actual rocks were WAY further, the pond is more of a river to the lake as well and pretty seeweed-ish to swim, we did get to play with a fun snapping turtle we named Fred😂 he came to say hello, hanged out and left. The septic had backed up so we were unable to do laundry on-site but she allowed us to bring to the hotel if needed. It did smell and we tried to hold off flushing/use of water as much as possible due to that reason, she called two hours prior to us arriving to let us know but we had been on the road for a few hours at that point. Overall I did enjoy it, it was more of a hike to everything than I thought but if you aren’t looking to adventure near the home and more of just a Get away, I recommend! Once septic is fixed and you don’t have a set plan for something that isn’t do-able to this location it will be perfect!!:) may book again in the future
