Renter Be Aware...
We stayed 3 nights in June. The listing is misleading. It is not a "Movie-like, lake house" It's a townhouse. The description of the bedrooms is accurate. It has space for a large family like ours. It needs maintenance both outside and inside. The pictures do not accurately reflect the current condition of the property. Plants are growing in the front gutters, and weeds on the privacy fence. Both attract insects.
Issues were primarily environmental. A/C did not maintain a comfortable temperature. It was 77 when we arrived. We adjusted the thermostat; however, it took 10 hours to cool the townhouse. The upstairs ended up much cooler than the downstairs. The A/C runs constantly and makes an odd noise all the time. The temp climbed back to 77 even though we left it at 68 when gone. Made for very uncomfortable sleeping. The host said we misused the A/C. Two other reviews report issues with the A/C. The basic cleaning was adequate; however, the ceiling fans are filthy; master ceiling fan has a broken fan about ready to fall off, and the ceiling fan in the landing fell when it was turned on narrowly missing one of our family members. There are several electric plugs dangling from the main TV. The picture online does not show this.
Came back from our outing and had over 50 carpenter ants throughout the house. Mostly downstairs. Master shower had hair and dental floss in it. The master bedroom sliding door does not lock. No food prep space in the kitchen. Be aware.
