Disliked: Cleanliness
The host provided timely communication, and accommodated an early check in request. The home and its cleanliness fell far short of our expectations. Bugs, dirty coffee maker (still coffee in the pot), trash in the trash can, dirty grill (which we did not use), a hot tub that smelled of mildew and old water, and looking under dressers / etc to ensure the kids didn’t leave anything…well let’s just say there’s cleaning to do…were the main culprits. You can tell from the pictures, the house is really old (but it certainly has a lot of character), and in general the linens / mattresses / bedding materials seem to be at or past their useful life. As small example, I had a king size pillowcase and a tiny “pancake” for a pillow that didn’t fill 25% of the case. My son slept on a twin bed that had mattresses and toppers stacked on top of each other. While the description does say the house sits above 11 other homes, or something to that effect. I found the online pictures very deceiving. There is a road and at least three homes effectively in the backyard of this property. My search parameters were “lakefront”…and how this home sits / is positioned isn’t my definition of lake front. I’d personally consider it lake view. The windows on the back of the house and the porch are amazing. Unfortunately though, there weren’t window treatments/blinds in the living room / dining / kitchen area, making it uncomfortable to walk around after dark…particularly for my wife and daughter.
