Pro Tips
If you’re thinking of staying here, it’s not as advertised.
Pro tips as follows:
• There are two driveways. Use the one off of the highway and avoid the steep and narrow stairs and the climb up to the house.
• When you arrive skip the lock box. It’ll say to use it, don’t. Go straight to the back of the house for the “front door” and type in the code provided.
• The photo shows a nice deck to sit on. In winter they put it up, probably to avoid too much weight from the snow. Don’t plan on using the deck.
• The downstairs bedroom in photos has two couches. Both are futons. There are also two twin beds. The downstairs is a frozen tundra. Plan ahead. In addition, the lights turn on intermittently throughout the night so if you plan on sleeping, bring an eye mask or your IT training to figure out how to turn that “feature” off. Oh and the stairs. Steep, narrow and dangerous. Watch your head. Would not recommend for children or anyone over 50 or with a mobility disability.
• There are no instructions in the house. None. There’s a laundry list of items and instructions pertaining to the hot tub, but nothing for the house. Best of luck!
• The fireplace is electric so don’t plan on cozying up by the fire during your stay.
• Board games are provided in storage under the TV. Most have missing pieces or parts. Bring your own or don’t bother.
• Kitchen has a coffee maker and a keurig. The Keurig says “descaling” and we didn’t feel like we should be buying solution to descale so it still says that.
• Kitchen is adequately stocked. Basic items to cook.
• Trash! There is one trash can in the house. No lid. And there is one street trash can.
• The house is old and dirty and nothing is organized. Just saying.
• There are several TV remotes. There is a Roku remote and no Roku. That pretty much sums up the place. You can stream from the LG TV though once you sign in to your service of preference.
• About a 30 minute drive into Leavenworth.
• Pretty view of the lake.
• Plain, the city it’s nearest, is a 10 minute drive or so. Would recommend the Old Mill Cafe.
