We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful and unique property. The view is amazing. The deck and dock are a great place to relax. We enjoyed fishing off the dock and grilling out in the evening. Plenty of seating outside and room to have our family over to. There was even a fire pit and a horseshoe pit. Very well stocked kitchen. Plenty of towels and even a washer/dryer.
My constructive criticism is:
1. The owner was very responsive prior to our stay and answered questions I asked, however, once we got there, I was unable to receive a response to my questions even though I called and texted the number provided and emailed the same place I was getting my questions answered before. The first day we wanted to use the canoe that was advertised but there were no oars, I sent a couple messages seeking the oars and did not receive a response until after 10:00 p.m.-much too late to go canoeing. Someone did bring oars by the following day but we had plans so missed out on the canoeing we intended to do the first day. I also sent a message regarding how to turn the patio lights on and never received a response to that. The second day we were there, the owner text asking if we needed anything and saying she was sending someone to check on us, but no-one ever came.
2. Bugs! Once the sun sets, you will get eaten alive, bring lots of bug spray or plan to stay inside. We all had about 30-40 bites each on our legs and ankles when we got home from the weekend.
3. There is no set parking spaces, just kind of an empty lot. This lot is very soft sand and there should be some kind of warning or it should have been blocked off. My husband got his truck stuck in the sand and had to be towed out. The next night, another family member got their vehicle stuck and everyone had to push to get it out. Park as close to the cabin as possible.
4. Although I paid a cleaning fee and left a tip and the place appears clean visually, the grill was filthy with dirty paper plates, paper towels and foil inside. Your feet will also turn black if you walk around the house barefooted so could use a mop
5. Lastly, there is a very nice 2 head shower. However,the hot water is tricky and you must line the knob up just right. If you go to far to the hot side, it will turn cold again. The first night we took cold showers because we didnt know this and our text was not answered until late in the evening. A small sign in the bathroom explaining this would save others from having to shower cold
