It is an older house but well kept, the kitchen has all you need to cook a meal. We loved the fire pit outside, and appreciated the fish cleaning station by the lake. The only downside is that second bathroom was in the basement and since we were two couples there were multiple trips downstairs, but it's minor. The host is very friendly and ready to help you.
