Beautiful, may want to bring your own lighting
We liked this older house/cabin, but a few things detracted from the best stay so I have to note:
Positives: Beautiful location. Inside is roomy. Good size deck w BBQ, lights, and nice view. Perfect for marshmallow roasting. Shower/tub combo is good sized. Parking for three vehicles. (Street and upper parking are very narrow. Lower parking is wider.) Large TV. Appliances all work. Beds are comfortable. Pines Resort and lake easy drive, bicycle or walking distance. (Note-it is very hilly.). Cooking necessities available. Owner was quick and pleasant when responding to inquiries. General store and restaurants are fairly close.
Negatives: Lighting…Very dark. All lamps have fluorescent low wattage bulbs. We ended up using headlamps and flashlights - especially in the bedrooms-even during the day.
The heating… the old house heater was loud and didn’t heat quickly. There are small portable heaters for each room. It took 8 hours to get warm. Once we got it warm, it was ok. There is a fireplace and wood available. Fireplace would have worked nicely but we did not use fireplace due to allergies. Note: When I printed out passcode for entry, it printed out 99999, instead of actual code, so we had to call owner to get correct code. He was available and helpful.
General… The bathrooms, kitchen and floors were clean. Lots of dust and cobwebs though. TV is large - has Apple TV, Netflix and Prime. Originally we had planned for six people and it would have accommodated that number well. It ended up just being us two. Note: the downstairs king size bed and bathroom are accessible by outdoors only. Not a problem, but guests should be aware.
Overall, we liked the place, but the lighting and heat were issues. We would stay here again, but would bring better light bulbs.
