Disliked: Check-in

A lovely house with a spectacular lake view.

Overall a great stay but there were a few glitches. Management company was not overly organized. Asked for a check in 2 hours before standard and then not-one called to confirm. In fact after check in time we still had no details for the check in. House was generally great but watch out as the master has no blinds whatsoever. Fine in the winter but only for masochists who like getting the sun in their face at 5:30 am every day in the summer. Hot water was also an issue - slow to arrive and not very hot. Great well-equipped kitchen and great family room. Overall enjoyed the stay but for the price would expect the little details to be better.

We hope to welcome you back for an even better experience!
