Great property, especially for multiple families with a dog. The markdown on the review is for an important detail omitted from the advertised property listing: Guests do NOT have access to the covered boat slip. Not the end of the world but something oddly left out of the posting for an expensive house. You can park your boat at the floating dock but it will be uncovered. Additionally, I recommend providing taller steps or a ladder to access the floating dock. Water levels are low and the dock is quite a bit lower than the fixed dock.

Thank you for your review and feedback. The lifts are calibrated for the owners boats, so that is why they are not available to guest use. Record low waters levels have been an issue this season, but hopefully not in the future.
