Overall the property was lovely. The views were beautiful. Great sunsets. Small but quaint. Lovely setting. However, there were several issues that were due to the written description and instructions. For example, the instructions said put the dishes in the dishwasher before you leave but there was no dishwasher. The starting packet had dishwasher tablet and tablet for washing machine but neither existed. We had to prop the windows open with the toilet brush. Not all the electrical outlets worked and not all the fans worked. We were grateful it cooled off at night to make sleeping easier. We met one of the owners and he seemed very nice and friendly.

The property is truly right on the lake. The view is amazing. The lake is literally a few steps down the back deck. I love the rock edge to the lake. No sand to drag in. The fire pit with wood is fabulous. The dock is great. Our dog loved playing in the lake. Plenty of room for a dog tether while you are outside.
The house itself isn't bad, but could use a little more care. The kitchen has a very small amount of counter space. Kitchen table could use refinishing. There is a sort of musty order inside. Bring some Febreeze, it helps. More lighting would help in the living room and bedrooms. Those rooms are small so maybe smaller furniture in the bedroom with the queen size bed. Really needs some sort of bed side table on both sides of the bed. Rooms are dark so lightening them up would help and probably replace the carpeting. That might help with the musty smell also.
