The setting of this lake house is like a dream. We traveled in winter when the lake was smooth as glass, and got to enjoy the kayaks on a nearly private stretch of water. Our dog loved playing with the resident pups, and our 6 year old enjoyed the trampolines.
The house itself is charming, but in need of some updating. The furniture is worn and ready to be retired, including a bed that squeaked and bounced every time one of us would roll over. The interior is also in need of some general maintenance- peeling paint, damaged drywall, a noisy heater, a tub that won’t stay filled. That said, it was bright and clean.
The hostess Shelly is wonderful and kind, and armed us with great local restaurant recommendations that were perfect for take out.
Overall the setting is spectacular but the house itself needs a little TLC to justify the rate we paid.
