The location and accommodations were wonderful. I booked this as a Christmas gift for my 2 children (and their spouses and kids). It was the perfect space for the 7 of us. The views from the deck/porch were amazing and the dock, large rubber raft, paddle boat and kayak afforded us the water/lake pleasures we wanted. We loved using the fire pit in the evenings and the hammock and swing were enjoyed by all of us.
All of the furnishings and appliances were in new condition and directions for everything were really easy. The grill made dinners easy and the outside space for eating was super.
Michelle was responsive when there were some issues. The Keurig did not work and she had it replaced within a day. This probably wouldn’t have been an issue but the 4-cup coffee pot was a bit small for the coffee lovers in this group. Also, there was an unpleasant odor in the lower level, but we think it was from a rug and Michelle had it picked up the next day. It seemed to dissipate thereafter. Michelle did include information upon booking as to the amenities which would be supplied. She indicated there would be two rolls of paper towels and 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom. I booked the space for 11 days. For a property listed to accommodate 10 people (and it seems like it could!) 2 rolls of toilet paper per 3 bathrooms for 11 days seems a bit unreasonable. The trip to a store is about 20 minutes. When my son asked her about it she was adamant that there were no deviations. When asked about the discrepancy with the paper towels, she quickly responded it was a misprint, but would reimburse. This is super minor but it seems for longer stays, it would be reasonable for a “best in class” place to accommodate appropriately.
I would also mention the walk down (and up) is fairly steep and I hesitated to make the trip down and up more than once a day. The terrain is uneven and there is no real path. The grands (5 and 8) had no problem with it!
"Escape on the Lake" for my family was FABULOUS!!!
