We had a great time at the red house. Upon arrival, while coming down the drive way, we were met with a lovely glimpse of Lake Huron. The back yard was lovely. The covered porch over looking the lake is private and has beautiful views.
It was a bit awkward when we first arrived because there was a wedding happening in the backyard of the cabin directly next door. It was a lovely wedding but it just happened to be right in front of our beach access point.
The owners gave us access to a canoe and equipment, including life jackets. Exploring the shoreline was easily my kids' favorite part. We spent a lot of time at the beach searching for cool rocks and playing in the waves. The house was clean and fully stocked with utensils and pots and pans and had a cute breakfast nook table. The only issues we had was the lack of blankets. The heat works great in the house, but the upstairs room with all the windows gets very cold at night and we could've used a few more heavy blankets.
It was very convenient to the downtown Lexington area, which was a was a fun way to spend a couple hours or pick up a few items you forgot at home. It's also quick drive to Mcallums Apple Orchard, where we left with a huge bag of apples and cider donuts.
One evening on our down the driveway to the red house, we were met with atleast 4 deer hanging out in the front yard.
We were surprised at how close the house next door is. I assumed other than the cabin next door, we would be daily secluded. While I had my youngest daughter playing in the fenced in area in the front yard, we could hear the neighbors talking about us, which was extremely awkward and immediately made us want to come inside.
Check in and check out was very easy. All in all, everyone had a good time.
