The location of this property was our main reason for booking it. It’s maybe 1/4-1/2 mile from the lake and very close to all the local shops, restaurants, gas station, ect.. It’s in the East Village neighborhood.
The house met our needs and is dog friendly just generally outdated though. There were 3 families and a dog. 6 adults, a 12yr old, 3yr old and two babies. We stayed for 5nights/6days. The beds were all very hard and the linen and general decor seemed very old but didn’t have high expectations going in. The bathrooms (only thing) look like they have been recently remodeled so that was nice.
Some amenities could be updated which would add a lot more value and desire to the property such as all the kitchen appliances and utensils. Everything worked (except one burner on the stove and the freezer not being cold enough) but are very outdated. There were plenty of plates, bowls and cups but the silverware was all mismatched and sparse compared to how many dishes there were. I’d recommend bringing plastic utensils and paper plates to avoid a bunch of dishes. Also, bring your own dish soap, paper towels, aluminum foil, and ziplock bags, ect.
The house has wood floors, there was a broom but no dust pan so that seemed odd. Washer and dryer was a huge plus. The washer seemed ancient but worked but the dryer was a bit newer. I probably sound harsh but once you see all this for yourself you’ll understand what I mean.
There is a propane grill provided but when we arrived the tank was empty and the grill was very dirty, just a heads up. I don’t think they cleaners or anyone cleans the grill besides the guests using it and that seems like most of them don’t. It took a few different back and forth phone calls before we finally got a new tank but eventually it was replaced free of charge to us.
Despite being given some misinformation a couple times everyone I talked to on the phone was very nice, polite and helpful.
Overall, this house met our needs and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an ideal location to stay. Just don’t expect anything newer but I guess that gives you more of the camping feel.
