LEECHES.
Disappointed. We had a reservation elsewhere that was evacuated the day before our stay so this was a last minute booking. We were still excited and chose this home because of the vicinity to the lake. The property is privately situated and appears to have great lake access. Not so much actually. There isn’t a trail to speak of so you’re walking through brush to get to the rocky shore. That’s doable. The first full day of our stay my daughter, 3 yo granddaughter and I went to check it out. They waded around for about 1/2 hour with intentions of swimming and kayaking after lunch. We noticed numerous dead fish floating near the shore. We returned to the house and removed our wet clothes. Unbelievable. LEECHES! My granddaughter is still talking about my removing leeches. This changed the week for everyone. No one wanted to go in the lake from this point forward. Would’ve been nice to know beforehand. Someone in our group researched and it there’s even an issue with blue/green algae. Explains why the lake was virtually void of activity. A couple boats and kayaks, but not many.
The house. As others state, the windows have inadequate window coverings and mostly fixed windows, resulting in the house being very hot and uncomfortable. It does cool down eventually at night in parts of the house. The sun is in the windows early too. The living room furniture and beds are old and squishy. The dining table is actually a picnic table. The listing shows a king in the master. Not so. Some of the door knobs don’t work. Bathroom doesn’t lock and a bedroom locks you in. Toilet roll holder is broken and a towel rod fell down whenever we touched it.
The kitchen. Really needs stocked. Basically one knife that cuts-a steak knife. Glasses-2 shot glasses, a cordial, a wine, 2 juice glasses and 2 water glasses. Weird forks. The propane tank was empty when we arrived and the check in email stated you were expected to fill it and leave for next guest. Nope. We purchased our own and brought it home. The house is absolutely INFESTED with fruit flies. The fly strip does nothing but collect them. Gross. Hard to put a meal together when they are flying everywhere.
None of the games or puzzles there were intact. The house has an odd floor plan and quirky flea market decor. We made the best of our stay and enjoyed each other. What was great? Appliances worked well, lots of hot water and great water pressure. Will we be back? Not a chance.
