My husband & I reserved this place for our wedding anniversary. But unfortunately we left early, for a few reasons.
Pros: It’s a cute old stucco with a really gorgeous view of the lake on a unique property.
-Tons of bird watching (Eagles, pelicans, ducks, etc).
-A nice long dock with a bench for fishing or just enjoying the views.
-Plenty of room in the yard to plop down a lawn chair & relax while listening to the waves.
-Quiet & peaceful.
Cons: The house itself, the deck & the balcony are in need of some general TLC.
-The grill was filthy & we had to buy a grill brush to clean it. (Bring some charcoal if you plan to use it)
-The fire pit needs to be dug out & cleaned up.
-No fire wood provided, BYO
-We had two large, angry carpenter bees inside when we arrived (I’m allergic).
-The bathroom, specifically the toilet/shower is tiny, not user friendly & awkward.
- Queen mattress was extremely hard/uncomfortable.
- During a particularly bad rain storm, water was pouring in through the top of the doorframe between the kitchen a bathroom area. The next day the mildew smell was excessive.
We decided to call it the next morning & go home.
If you want rustic in the true sense, this is it. We expected something else from viewing the photos/description. But in the end, sadly, this just wasn’t our cup of tea.
