The listing gives the strong impression that the lake and mountain view is from the unit. We paid a premium price compared to other listings just to have the view and were very disappointed to discover that our actual view consisted of a fence and the host's house. You do have lake access, but it is behind the host's house. It seems to be borderline deceptive advertising. On the plus side the hostess is extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. It is clear that she really likes socializing and sharing her town with others. She gives great hints about local attractions and restaurants. She checked in with us several times during our stay in person and by e-mail. If you are an extrovert you will really love and appreciate her. Introverts may find staying here socially uncomfortable as the hostess is so friendly that she appears oblivious to subtle and not-so-subtle hints that you are tired and want to be left alone...after almost 25 minutes of chatting I had to tell her pretty directly to please leave...awkward!
