If you are simply looking for an incredible view and peaceful place, this is the one! Unfortunately, there were many other things that were lacking. My family and I had a wonderful time, despite the issues with the house, and it was very difficult to pull myself away from the view of the beautiful 9 mile lake! I love the location on the lake, it is peaceful and was very private because there was nobody using the house next door. If you want to rent a boat, the marina is literally in walking distance. If you plan to dock your boat at the house like in the pictures that will not be possible, at least not during the off season. We were unaware that the dock pictured would not be there. It had a tiny floating dock and I guess the other section is added for the summer season.
The living area is very large and there is plenty of space for family and friends to gather and sleep. I love the open floor plan and the additional space in the lower level. I could sit on the back deck and stare at the lake for hours. My husband enjoyed fishing off the small dock and even caught a fish. My family utilized the kayaks on a beautiful day and enjoyed being out on the gorgeous lake.
Unfortunately, there were several issues we had with the house. The pantry door was broken. The Keurig was broken. The blue room bed had broken slats, so it sunk in the middle. The lower level bathroom toilet had a cracked base. There were many items in the lower level game room that were "for display only." This was not in the description and we assumed that the juke box, air hockey, Pacman, and slot machine would all be in working condition...they are not. The master toilet was running, causing the well to dry up and we had no water by the end of the night. There was a patch in the living room ceiling that began to leak when it started to rain. There was a broken dining room chair and the outside furniture was pretty terrible. The firepit is completely unusable because of the slope in the yard. I paid for the hot tub in advance and they didn't realize I had paid, sent their handyman out to set it up and it never got over 85 degrees. We were never able to use it, but they did refund our money.
This house has so much potential, but it needs some TLC and clarification in the description of the house. I think that a summer rental will be much more worth the stay because you will be able to use the lake so much more and not focus on the things the house is lacking.
