Had some nice qualities, however, the marketing perception was not equal to the actual space. 1. Many appliances were not working.2. Kitchen seating did not accommodate the number of people - this home was to accommodate 9... we had 7 individuals and only 4 kitchen chairs and no folding chairs available. 3. Driveway felt very unsafe with its hairpin turn.4. Overall sense was that this property felt neglected. 5. Misrepresentation about the hot tub - we were told a few days before our arrival that the hot tub would not be there, however, it was very clear that it had not been there for quite some time.6. Deck had chipped paint, missing slats, and felt very unsafe to be on.7. The dining room shown online was not at all the same... no table, no chairs, nothing there.
Great stay overall! Definitely note that there are no blinds or a/c. We caught it at a very hot week with all the days over 100. It did get hot during the day in the house. But the views were beautiful and fun to watch deer and wildlife from the deck. Well appointed kitchen and comfortable furniture/beds.
The house is spacious, open and charming. The interior is immaculate other than the oven could use a razor blade to clean some baked on grease. Be ready for an early awakening since there are no curtains with all east exposure windows. And the sun shows that all the windows need a good cleaning with the sun shining in.The exterior could use a little work. The driveway is rather steep and would be difficult with any ice on it. The four flower pots on the deck hosted dead weeds. But we had humming bird visit in the morning and some bats flew over each sunset. We met some neighbors who were great people. There is a pear tree beside the hot tub. But they were not ripe to eat yet. Overall we would definitely stay there again!
I loved waking up to a spectacular view of the lake and deer walking across the property! This home gives you the secluded cabin feel with only a short drive to CDA. Definitely enjoyed our stay.
