Peaceful, but somewhat disappointing.
The location was secluded and peaceful, but the photos on the VRBO listing gave us the impression all amenities would be available to use. The paddleboat was inaccessible due to weeds/overgrowth, and was filthy. We couldnt get to it. e "party boat" with the wooden 2nd deck & rung electric lights was dirty, with sleeping quarters on the lower deck that had been exposed to winter elements/open cabin doors for awhile. Life preservers were on the ground, very old looking and unusable. We had envisioned enjoying evenings on the deck while music played from below, or something similar. The music was not advertised but we felt it was a reasonable expectation. The Cottage was adequate but tiny, as expected. The bathroom window shade was in bad disrepair upon arrival, with several 'slats' broken or missing. Shower curtain hooks were missing. The kitchen offered 1 teaspoon, 1 tablespoon, a few knives and forks. The kitchen lighting is soft, so it is challenging to read fine print (such as ingredient labels/cooking instructions). The grill, which we expected to be a small propane option, was an electric George Foreman on a pedestal, on the outside deck, about 12" x 16". The area was very private and we enjoyed sitting on the deck listening to the birds and other sounds of nature. "Resort" & "spa" convey high end indulgence, paying attention to details."Retreat" seems to be a more accurate description of the property. We did enjoy our stay, but the photos on the listing are deceiving.
