Summary: We had a great stay at this rental. While the outside of the home needs some TLC, the inside was great. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary cooking supplies and spices. They provided food storage containers, extra paper towels & toilet paper, laundry soap, and two coffee stations with lots of coffee pods. The couches and kitchen chairs were comfortable along with the beds. The house also had cool items like a touch and motion activated kitchen faucet, cool ceiling fans in the living room and all the bedrooms and bathroom ceiling fans with a nightlight and Bluetooth speakers built in. The Blackstone and gas grill were also nice. The home had a pretty view of the lake and the fishing was good during out stay. We would stay again.
