Despite being at the end of a cul de sac in a neighborhood, Steve's place feels surprisingly secluded, which is nice. The interior of his home was updated, clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for the week we stayed there. In that regards, this suited us quite well, and was a great "home base" for our visit with family in the area. Perhaps it was just a timing issue of when we came, but I wish the outside had been kept up as well as the inside. The lawn was mowed, but the walking paths were overgrown with weeds (so much so that I removed some so that the elders we had visiting wouldn't trip), the dock to the lake was broken (my daughter was upset she couldn't fish), and the outdoor grill wasn't working (I was upset I couldn't grill out). We avoided the hot tub, b/c the room hadn't been cleaned and there was dirt in hot tub (it could use a draining). After I cleaned loose debris off of the firepit and chairs, however, we had a great time roasting hot dogs and marshmallows out there. Not a bad place by any means, but could have been better, since, at least to me, a large part of a lake home's appeal is being outdoors...
