Lake house stay

Overall, the property was well represented by the listing and was fully stocked with everything you may want to enjoy some time at the lake. There are some maintenance issues that need to be addressed but beyond struggles with pool cleanliness they are all manageable. The owner is fantastic and really tries to make sure that everything is set for your visit. She lives right next door and is available it seems like instantaneously. She even messaged us after the visit to ask if we’d left something behind.
