Decent House But Watch Out
The house is as-advertised, but be careful as it is on the private side of the lake. The listing says it has a private boat slip, which is fine if you have your own boat. Except if you do not, then you have to drive to the public side of the lake in order to rent one, and spend the day over there. So it leaves a much different overall experience from actually getting a house on the public side of the lake with a dock and you can actually keep the boat at the house for the entire stay.In addition, the house was not cleaned/ready by 4PM as advertised. There was some communication confusion between the host and the cleaners, and they only started cleaning our house at 4 PM and didn't finish until after 7 PM. The host gave me a refund of about 2% of the rental price, which seemed trivial.Finally, guests are required to buy the insurance. I did not think anything about this until after the trip I got an email indicating that the host had exercised the insurance policy. So I messaged the host to inquire, and was told that one of the puck-holding trays on an air hockey table was broken off, and the host sent a picture. I was not aware that our group had even tried to use the air hockey table and the host freely admitted that it might have been another group because in the picture it looked like it had been taped. This sounded fishy, so since they were going to get a new one from the insurance, I "offered" to pick up the broken one, but they declined. Seems fishy.
