The lot was great. We couldn't ask for a better spot of land to visit. It was a quite area with beautiful views all the way around. The inside could use a bit of care. We expected rustic and that's one of the places charms. There were many positives such as a ping-pong table, plenty of sleeping space, and lots of television options. Opportunities included the bathroom and other areas could use a serious look. We didn't shower (we were only there overnight) due to the shower conditions. Grout scrubbing is definitely needed. Several easy fixes, such as a broken towel holder (hanging from plaster torn off wall) and safety issues (sidewalk lights broken with exposed metal, mice, and curtains with wasp nest in garage converted game area) would enhance the stay. Communication with owners was excellent and they are very pet friendly. They even had homemade canned vegetables and preserves you could purchase. Overall, the stay was comfortable. With a little light touches, it could be a great get-away space.

We had a great time being able to relax as a family. Lots of wildlife with great fishing. The only issue we had was the tub, my child had to lifted in and out of because it was really deep which could totally be a plus for some.

Perfect little hideaway to rest and decompress! Cute place with beautiful view on a small little private lake. We really enjoyed the garage being a little family fun place with ping pong and extra dining space since the kitchen is pretty small. Worked great for us.
