My son and I stayed at the property for a fishing tournament on L St Clair, and it was absolutely perfect.
The very first impression was immediately upon arrival... Alex knew we were bringing a fishing boat, and whether it is there all the time or was put out in anticipation of our arrival, I was very pleased to see an extension cord waiting next to the parking area (to plug in our boat), especially given the fact that we did not arrive until after dark (due to an unexpected delay driving in from Chicago).
Inside, the house was clean, and the kitchen was well-appointed (with a Keurig, no less... another nice touch). The bedrooms were initially a bit warm, but once the upstairs A/C unit quickly cooled it to a comfortable temp, we shut it off for the night and it was perfectly fine. The TV (Roku) took a bit of getting used to, but after a very small learning curve, my son had his favorite shows on.
