Stunning location - needs maintenance and repairs
The lakefront location couldn't be better. Panoramic views of the lake from a span of windows were quite stunning. The dock and canoe were great allowing us to easily get on the lake for a paddle, which we did multiple times over our two-day stay. However, we took off two stars from this review primarily for the condition of the property. When we arrived we were at first baffled to find a way to the lower level from the main level and discovered them through the garage. There are multiple deferred maintenance issues, most significantly evidence of roof leaks in the kitchen ceiling with paint and drywall damage. Also, and of most concern was the condition of the upper deck where we grilled and ate dinner on our last night. Deck boards are in poor condition with nail heads protruding in many locations. With young children, we were concerned their bare feet could be injured. This could easily (and should have been) repaired ahead of our stay. We also had trouble starting the dishwasher on the morning we were trying to wash dishes. There were no instructions beyond the cryptic, inadequate ones on the unit. We ended up having to leave unwashed dishes in the sink. This could/should have been addressed in the house instructions. Lastly the overall cost. With all the added fees and taxes this stay ended up costing us over $500 per night. For that amount of $$ we would have expected everything to be in top condition. As shared above, they were not.
