Super flexible and responsive. House was exactly as advertised. Nice property. We will be coming back! ##### Pete J. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Brad H. Sep 3, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Interior unfinished Bedroom was actually the mechanical room with dresser and the bed was jammed in a corner! Only 1 outside garbage can that was completely full when we arrived and still full 4 days later. Had to pile ours on top. I asked how many steps down to dock, 'No steps, just a path to the dock' was the response. Turned out to be quite steep - my spouse unable to get to the dock. The dock was little more than a few floating pallets. After towing our boat 180 miles we had no place to tie-up! Very sad. Have pictures. ##### Brad H.
