This home is a very cute and cozy home with a view of the lake. Needs serious pest control and pest maintenance however.
Space: Spacious with open kitchen on living space. The house looked exactly as it did in the photos. Nice !
Parking: can easily fit 1-4 cars nicely in the gravel driveway. The driveway is long and between two ditches at entrance, and has a bit of incline as you go so if you are towing a boat, you may need to leave the driving to the expert especially since you’ll need to back it out.
Security: Upstairs door locks needs some knowledge. To lock, push handles all the way down first. The downstairs locks on the sliding doors arnt easy. We had a maintenance guy come help us get them locked, so we kept them locked. They were even left unlocked when we arrived as the folks there before us probably couldn’t lock it. Since it’s the first floor level, and where the kids bunk bed room is, this needs better ability to secure and lock. There is a padlock on the front door that is not actually used, use the back door one. We didn’t know, kept trying it in the dark.
Furniture: they did a great job with this. The house was very well furnished. The furniture looked very cozy with nice accents. Bravo on this. Made us feel at home.
Bathrooms: Nice clean bathrooms.
Patio: Very nice on second floor. Gas grill on the back porch however. There’s a nice view of the lake from the second floor patio. Note that the house is not on the lake but does have a nice view as noted. We did not use the lower patio as noted since the door locks down there were hard to use and because there were too many mosquitos and spiders down there.
Kids: Bunk bed room on first floor alone where we saw lots of bugs and where front sliding doors didn’t easily lock. Kids slept upstairs with us. Lots of fun games, ping pong table, air hocky table, an Xbox with a number of games to play, and some board games down there.
Bugs: Big problem. Spider in our bed under blanket. Child woke with spider in bed also. Mosquitos and all kinds of flying and crawling bugs the entire stay. Called maintenance and they came with can of raid ? We were anxious entire stay. We would have loved to return to this house again but def not until they start a routine pest control program. It’s too bad because this house is otherwise awesome ! Fix the serious bug issues and door locks and we will come back !
