The Bayberry Lake House is a beautiful property in a lovely location with scenic views, and comfortable furnishings. We especially enjoyed the cozy fireplace and the potential for outdoor relaxation on the balcony and around the fire table and fire pit beside the lake.
However, several maintenance and housekeeping issues significantly impacted our stay. Upon arrival, we found dirty dishes, silverware, pots and pans in the cabinets with limited dishwashing supplies. The outdoor furniture that was covered in dirt and bird droppings. Upon arrival the kitchen outlets were non-functional for most of a day due to a tripped breaker in a locked basement. The smoke alarm in the primary bedroom began emitting a loud alarm at 1 a.m. due to a dead battery. The firewood provided was too wet to use safely, requiring us to purchase dry wood. Additionally, the advertised Netflix and screen mirroring features were not available.
With better attention to cleaning, stocking, and maintenance, this property could be a five-star experience. We hope to see these issues addressed for future guests.
