The lake views/access are wonderful, and the home itself is warm and charming. We found it easy to drive to town for entertainment and shopping. We only had a couple of small issues, which may not affect every renter. We have a number of allergy sufferers in our group, and we could not avoid dog hair - on rugs, blankets, etc. It clung to our clothes. Again, this may not be an issue for many. We also experienced the Swimmer's Itch from the lake that the owner thankfully explained in their very thorough binder of information and rules. If either of these are concerns for your family, just pack some Benadryl! The only other hiccup was that the Vrbo listing says Check-In is at 3 PM and Checkout is at 10 AM. My reservation also said this. However communication from the owner said Check-In at 4 PM and Checkout at 9 AM - and the cleaners were there waiting for us to get out at 9 AM, so that was kind of a bummer. Hopefully the Vrbo listing will be updated by the time of this review, so there's no future confusion. We really did enjoy staying there. It's a beautiful home.
