We were so looking forward to being together as a family and enjoying early fall on the lake. A couple of days beforehand we learned of a toxic algal bloom on the lake. The management company did not inform us of this prior to our stay and the “local manager” did not contact us when we asked for additional information. We decided to go anyway and give it a chance. The algal bloom did not affect the view. But, we could not fully enjoy the property as that section of the lake was closed.
The house was adequate. Enough furnished rooms, bathrooms, and parking to accommodate our needs. However, the accommodations were not overly comfortable. They provided 1 set of thin, scratchy towels per bed; stained, scented bed linens; and 1 extra blanket.
The overall condition of the house was lacking. Several pieces of indoor (dining room chairs, chests of drawers, vanity, shades, windows) and outdoor furniture (umbrella, couches) were broken or appeared broken. The kitchen was unorganized and we found dirty plates, glasses, pots, and pans in the cabinets. The bathroom tile was dirty. There was a hole in the stairwell.
The comfort of our stay was further reduced by general inconveniences. The coffee pot didn’t work properly. We had to go out and buy paper towels, toliet paper, dishwasher soap, and garbage bags because an inadequate supply was provided.
