It was a very pretty place! It was very hard to get it cooled off during the day. The living room stayed hot no matter what the air conditioning was set on. And the trail to the lake and fishing area was pretty grown up. The beds are very very firm and the pillows were very flat.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the scenic location. We always encourage guests to reach out to us during their stay so we can provide immediate support - we would have happily jumped in to help in any way we can and offer tips to maximize comfort. Being a vintage 1970s A-frame, heat naturally rises in peak summer heat; we recommend that our guests power on the upstairs A/C unit right upon arrival to keep the entire space cool. Additionally, while the lake trail is outside our property lines and beyond our direct control, we'll certainly share your notes about the overgrown path with the community. Thank you again for your input!

Overall, we had a great experience. The A frame was exceptionally clean. The space was perfect for our family of 5 and our dog. The area was great, we enjoyed our time at various parks, ate at some great spots (Papa Dubie's & Crawmamma's) and the people were so friendly including the neighbor across the street. We only wish the area behind the home was accurately described. The lake in that area was full of lilly pads / grass etc. We couldn't fish from the bank liked we had hoped. It was overgrown both on the bank & lake (the pictures of that area were totally different than what we experienced.)

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're thrilled to hear that your family (and your pup!) had a wonderful stay and that you enjoyed the A-frame, the local parks, great food, and the friendly community. It's especially nice to know the home was exceptionally clean and a great fit for your family. We also appreciate your feedback about the lake access behind the home. Because it's a natural shoreline, the amount of vegetation can vary throughout the season, and we understand that it wasn't what you were expecting for bank fishing. We'll review our listing photos and description to make sure they accurately reflect current conditions and help set the right expectations for future guests. Thank you again for staying with us. We'd love the opportunity to host you and your family again on a future visit!
