I would love to give this house a five star rating, but there were some issues. Our family customarily vacations in a mountain house every summer. This house was a wonderful house--very commodious and inviting, a place for everyone and for all of us. However, the advertising indicated that the house was on a lake, but there was no lake, nor had there been for quite a while. [Apparently work on the dam that contained the lake] Though we did enjoy the house, we were disappointed that we had been mislead. Also, though the house was very delightful and accommodating, it was only superficially clean, which made me uncomfortable. It was the least clean of any house we have stayed in [over our ten years of vacationing] and I was a little afraid I'd be held accountable for such things as stains in the carpet. Also, the WIFI was not functioning so our working members were disadvantaged. All that said--it was our favorite house EVER! We loved its location; we loved the way it accommodated us all; we loved the workable kitchen [we're foodies] and the eating arrangements; we loved the deck, where we spent hours enjoying each others' company, and the interesting view, and we even loved the little creek in the back yard where our children luxuriated in building sand castles and kayaking in the little kayaks. We would like to go back next year or some subsequent time.
