Fishing from the dock was a great time and my boys caught some trout!! The living room and big deck feel like one big space. There is a large dinner table on the deck that we weren't expecting which was awesome because the weather was perfect!! We had a little problem with the lockbox and keys at arrival, but the hosts responded within 2 minutes and helped us resolve the issue. We will continue to recommend! ##### Vicki O.

We love the outdoor spaces, but house needs some serious love. Plank flooring has huge gaps making them stumbling spots. Master shower pan has been poorly patched making it uneven. Water takes 5-10 minutes to heat up and then is only warm. The house has so much potential as it is big enough to accommodate 20 guests comfortably. Wonderful memories have been made, but should we return we will look into other properties. ##### Noey Z.
