Very small bathroom ,shower was difficult to use too small . No shower door just a flimsy curtain . Think the property oversold the beach access .. really the lake is all private

Hey Caroline! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the bathroom and shower setup didn’t meet your expectations — we know space can be a concern in smaller lake properties, and we’ll keep your comments in mind as we look for ways to improve.
That said, we do want to clarify that our listing accurately reflects the amenities offered. The property includes 50 feet of beach access, which is fully available to our guests. We're sorry if there was any confusion, and we’re always happy to provide more detail ahead of a stay to ensure our guests know what to expect.
We appreciate your visit and wish you all the best in your future travels.
