Communication with host was excellent, very responsive to VRBO threads and normally answered quickly. The home was very clean, but due to being on a well/septic system you do get a strong smell once in awhile.There were a few nails sticking out of hardwood floor that almost cut a few toes, had to hammer them back down.Pots/Pans were dirty and caked with old food, had to scrub them prior to use.Not really a five bedroom house, kinda misleading in the description. Two full private bedrooms, then to get to 4th bedroom you have to walk thru 3rd and to get to 5th, you have to walk thru 3rd and 4th. No doors seperating the rooms, simply curtains. We made do, but were expecting the privacy of at least 4 bedrooms. Lake area could use some cleaning up and landscaping for better use. Overall, enjoyed our time but would not rent again for family use unless you want to share 3 sleeping quarters.
