This had the makings of what could have been an amazing getaway. When you first pull up, you realize how massive this house is. The outside covered patio area is huge with plenty of room for hanging out and the pool is awesome. Inside, the house has massive open spaces in both the downstairs and upstairs with plenty of bedroom space for our group of 10. It was difficult to see where all of the rooms were when we booked it and be advised that many of the beds they advertise are in the open area upstairs. The house is a short drive away from the Log Country Cove main area. Far enough that it makes the pool far more convenient than the lake, but close enough that we did head over there one evening for an hour or so.
The main reason why I gave this house a 3 is because of the condition that the house is in. One of the pictures in a downstairs bedroom had fallen off the wall prior to our arrival. The glass had shattered all over the floor and we had to clean it up. One of the cupboards in the kitchen was crooked and we learned that the wood where its screws were supposed to go in had been stripped, making it impossible to close properly. All four of the A/C units were broken upon our arrival. The management called in maintenance that night, and they got three of them working, but left the last one (which happened to be for one of the downstairs master suites) unfixed. It made for some awfully hot and sweaty nights for us. On the last night, my wife noticed a massive puddle of water in the back laundry area by the door. The floor in that area was stained from where water had been before us and the wood trim was water damaged, as well. When I opened the door, I could see water on and around the doorway trim, as well, but the water source didn't appear to be coming from outside. After some investigation, I determined that when you showered, water was leaking around the glass pane between the shower area and the log cabin exterior, and then following the wood into that hallway on the other side. When I notified the office, they made it sound like it was our fault for not closing the shower curtain while showering (which it was). They said they'd let maintenance know. The can opener was broken and wouldn't turn. We purchased one from the store and left it for others who visit behind us.
Overall, the house was beautiful, but suffers from a lack of proper upkeep. Hopefully they send maintenance through to fix it up and it'll be great.
