Overall we enjoyed our stay. At the last minute we had my wife’s sister husband and three kids join us for a few nights. It wasn’t clear for awhile if this was going to be acceptable or not with Nancy. Fortunately we came to a monetary agreement so that the cousins which we see once a year could all be together.
We had issues with the bunk beds and let Dave and Nancy know right away that the beds were to unstable to be slept in. Dave tried his best to make a quick fix but ultimately we unstacked for safety reasons and had just enough room to do so. The bunk beds seemed to be of low quality. The beds in the two other rooms were nice, comfortable. A major drawback for us was lack of a washer/dryer. The kitchen had everything we needed pots pans dishes. There is a portable Coleman grill while small it gets the job done for barbecuing. We needed measuring cups and Dave was quick to respond. Dave was also very accommodating when it came to starting fires in the evening as kindling or ax to make are not provided but he makes short work of it with his torch and blower method. A ample amount of wood was provided so that was nice. They provide a canoe and three kayaks along with plenty of pails and shovels so the kids had fun playing in the sand. The lake front is shallow and sandy for a long ways out which for us was ideal. The small cottage was a big hit for the older kids to sneak away to and hang out in. The biggest hit was the fusball and pool table. They have incredible landscaping with beautiful flowers and lawn all around. A small net was set up in the front yard to play badminton/volleyball which we used a bit. There is also a seating area patio with outdoor furniture near the front entry way of the owner occupied area. This we didn’t really use or need although looked nice. The advertising initially is a bit mis leading as aerial views of the whole house with a expansive deck over looking the lake are shown. However they do go on to explain and show that it is indeed the lower level which is a big walk out basement with multiple sliding doors and has a nice patio area with a couple of table below the deck.
