Management was wonderful Thanks for a great stay ##### Scott c. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kori G. Nov 28, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Minimal The house was in a great location to see the lake and go for walks. The communication and assistance was great from the owner. The kitchen has very basic items for cooking. There were no mixing bowls, measuring cups/spoons, or kitchen towels. We had mouse droppings in the silverware drawer. The master bedroom was missing the top sheet (flat sheet). I contacted the owner on a holiday and he responded quickly and brought items that were needed. Very respectful and much appreciated on a holiday. If you like more than one bath towel for each person, you may want to request more than one. The listing said a hot tub, but did not see one. I appreciated the ease of checking in and checking out. The owner communicated quickly during reservation process and while staying. ##### Kori G.
