We spent a week around Christmas at this house. The location was great for us because we have family nearby. It is right on the lake which must be beautiful and fun in the warmer months. The house can sleep many people comfortably and was a lot of fun for the kids to play in.
The main downsides were the small kitchen and eating area — it was tight for moving around, and there were only 2 full baths in the living area (3rd was at the pool).
The pool is on the other side of the house so we had to walk outside for it. It turned out great for us that it’s not directly accessible from where we stayed — it kept our daily trip to the pool planned and safe for our small kids. The pool was clean and warm and the attached full bath with many towels available was very convenient. We also did some sledding down the slope which was great fun.
To avoid the huge garbage charge, you have to take all the garbage away. We just brought them all to our family nearby but I’m not sure where one would dispose of trash and recycling otherwise.
The owners live on site in the same house. They were very responsive and helpful and plowed the property after the snow we got both days.
