I will say this first, that the view of the lake was beautiful from the deck. The place needs to be updated. The neighbor is right on top of you, which wouldn't of been bad, but after the second night around 5pm of the blasting music, I decided to complain to the owner of this VRBO, and the music stopped. Also, there is only one full bath and that caused a problem for four people. One TV in the living room and the Window Unit in the main living area has rags pushed around the window, with buckets collecting the water. We were very disappointed for the money we paid and I have learned from this experience to ask the owner questions before it's too late. I've written to VRBO and never heard back.
