Thanksgiving vacation and house hunting

The snow was amazing. The house was absolutely perfect for our stay. We love the Big Bass Lake community so much we focused looking for a permanent home there.

Family time in the country

Our family booked this house as my husband and I were flying in from South Carolina and my daughter and her family were driving in from Tennessee. The house was big enough to accommodate 4 adults and 4 kids. The house was clean but it certainly could use some maintenance the washer dryer combo didn’t work properly, I ended up taking our clothes to a family member’s house to dry because the clothes were not drying in a timely manner. Also the house doesn’t have central air conditioning but window units and 2 bedroom units they were gaps were the slide outs meet the window frame causing bugs in the house. Also the house was advertised to sleep 10 but the hot water heater only lasted for 2 showers and then you had to wait for it to reset, when I mentioned this to the owner he said it was in the blue binder even so it needs to be updated. Also we were there for a week and the grass was never cut. Like I said the place needs to be better maintained.
