Get Better Cleaning Service
If the property was clean would give a much better rating but it wasn't. Sheets had to be washed, there was a dried up contact left on night stand, the stovetop had crumbs and grim on it and the living room table was dusty and dirty. Says it supplied laundry detergent but there was none so we had to run to store and buy it to wash the bedding

By the Lake
Everything we needed (except a salad spinner - hee hee). We loved having the kayaks - we kayaked and swam every day. Also liked being near the town's Riverside Park where we heard music and saw a film. Enjoyed outside decks on both sides of the house. So many birds to observe from this property.

Family Fun
As soon as the cars were unpacked, my teenage sons went out kayaking. Between that, tennis, the pool, the beach, and walking around the neighborhood, there was always something to do. For those who liked relaxing, sitting on the deck, watching the hummingbirds, and enjoying the lake views while reading was all we could ask for..

Kickoff to summer
The house was just what we needed for our kickoff to summer. We had kids ages 6-10. They loved the canoe and roasting marshmallows. The house was clean and the owners were easy to work with. The nearby pool and beach area was easy to get to.

Great weekend getaway
The house was perfect for a getaway weekend to celebrate my husbands birthday. The house was very clean and everything just as described. Aldo did a great job of communicating prior to our arrival so that we had no difficulties getting to the property or knowing where to find things. The lake community is lovely and we will definitely return when we have the chance.

lake house
overall a nice place, owner easily available, needs a little more lighting in/out, you do have to use special trash bags($4.00ea) to use dumpsters, steep driveway really slick when leaves are falling, could use more than 1 tv, a lot of wildlife in the neighborhood, when remodel finished will be real nice
