Sep 12, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Michiana Excellent location! ##### Maggie S. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kim D. Aug 21, 2022 Liked: Communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in #### Musty, stained, dirty. Do not recommend First the incorrect lockbox code was provided. When we walked in the property immediately smelled very musty. All the chairs have stains on them. The TV is too small for the size of the room and nothing found as to channels available which appeared to be very few. The patio was in need of power washing and general cleaning of the outdoor furniture. One positive was the close proximity to the lake. We both woke with sinus issues due to the musty smell which tells us the property is not a safe health environment. ##### Kim D. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kathy T. Jul 19, 2022 Liked: Communication Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Needs help When we arrived and walked in the house it smelled extremely musty,moldy, old. Even with all the windows open it did not improve much. There were only 2 towels in the bathroom (there were 4 of us staying) also there was only 2 rolls of toilet paper. There were dishes in the dish drainer by the sink that were less than clean. There were numerous cob webs in the corner of the kitchen counter. The recycling trash can was sitting in the front yard with trash on the ground. The other trash can was full also so we had nowhere to put our trash. I went to the basement to look for towels and toilet paper and the smell was worse than the upstairs. We could not use the towels from there as they smelled. We were not aware that there was no beach parking- our neighbors across the street told us where to go for beach access. The beach was beautiful. We found the property book of info the day we left as it was buried in a basket hidden behind the TV. The yard was overgrown and not maintained. Patio furniture was filthy. This could be a very cute place but it will require a lot of work. ##### Kathy T.
