Very pleased with cleanliness of the place.

Wished we asked more questions before booking. With 6 people, we only had one decent kayak to use. We were hoping to have a kayak ride as a group and that wasn't possible. 2 of the canoes were in excellent condition. The wooden steps at the bottom of the hill leading to the dock/water were very dangerous for 4 of us who were 60+ years old. It would be nice to have a flat place to sit with our chairs at the water, but realize that may not be possible on that property. The deck was great to have meals as a group, as was the dining room table. The living/dining area was very clean, comfortable and relaxing. Great selection of dishware, pans, etc. (Just for your info there was 1 cracked plate that we didn't use; should be tossed). The toilet was leaking upon arrival and we left a cloth there so it didn't leave a puddle. (Didn't affect our stay). On the day of departure we noticed the pipe being held together with duct tape under the kitchen sink was leaking. Was very pleased with plenty of towels and other linens.

Thanks for the feedback. As our first VRBO renter, it's great for us to know what you think. We have changed the description to be more clear about the available kayaks & canoes, and a plumber is coming in this week to resolve the issues you noted (though the toilet is sweating, not leaking). We will also take a look at the stairs leading to the water and see what can be done. Thanks again for your feedback!
