Family Reunion
Family came from various states/Europe. The home worked out great, with only adults spending the night. With that said, during the day the home was wonderful for all ages, especially fishing off dock and ping pong. The only problem was the cleanliness, especially outside seating area, the sliding glass doors, and garage (play siting areas). I know bugs (spiders and spider webs) are part of lake life, but none of the areas outside of house seemed to of b even cleaned. The sliding glass doors had caked on bugs, which as first impressions after arriving made me think if the house itself was cleaned well. It just put a bad (unclean) feeling in everyone. Once we cleaned around the screen sliding glass doors, wiped down chairs and tables outside/garage everyone was feeling much more comfortable. That was our only negative on the house. Neighbors were great and scenery beautiful. WE all had a wonderful time.
