Everyone really enjoyed the water front area & the AC in the boat house was a definite plus. The house met our expectations/needs very well. However, it was difficult for the older relatives to navigate to and from the water front and the common areas of the house mainly due to the steep incline of the driveway and the interior spiral staircase. Overall, we were all very pleased and enjoyed our stay.
This property is beautiful! The house was very clean and the rooms are very spacious. There were 6 of us staying and we still had room for a couple more people. Check in process started out not great due to the door code not working. The property manager was very responsive though and got us in very quickly. We had issues with the wifi as well. There are 2 separate routers, one for guests and the other for owners. The guest wifi did not work upon several tries. The property manager did come to the house to try to resolve the issue. He was also unable to connect to the guest wifi so he gave us access to the other although was hesitant to do so. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would definitely stay there again!
We were 3 siblings with our spouses and our 92-year old father. He has mobility problems and uses a walker. It was okay for him as he could stay on the entry floor and did not need to go downstairs. The best things about the place were the kitchen and the porch. We cooked almost all our meals at the house and it was easy to work in that kitchen. The porch was great for viewing the lake, especially afternoons. There were two negatives - the AC was a problem because the downstairs bedrooms were icy cold. We tried to keep the AC higher on the main floor to compensate, but the bedding on that floor had heavy duvets, no light-weight blankets.The other big problem was the internet bandwidth. The 2G network for guests could not handle 7 adults with two devices each. It was very slow.
