The lake house
This house was pretty close to perfect for what we needed. Plenty of sitting room for all of us. We booked the lake house for 2 wks. There were 4 adults and a 10 yr old and 2 yr old. Three of the adults were out of town for 3 of the days, and I was at work till 7pm mon-fri, but we still enjoyed our stay.
They let us check in early, because of the cold weather. We stayed during the crazy cold winter storm that swept across most of the country. Originally we were told we were responsible for the snow removal, and salting of the side walks, but several times throughout our stay the owners offered to come work on it for us, which was a huge help. Plenty of firewood and throw blankets were provided insuring that everyone was comfy and warm during this winter storm.
Wonderful personal touches were set up for us. They had a cute little Christmas tree and a few decorations, which was perfect as we were there over the Christmas holiday. A wonderful bottle of local wine and a sweet treat was there for our enjoyment.
For any one considering the lake house for someone with disabilities, this home was ok for someone with a walker and prosthetic leg. Passage to bathroom and doorway were too narrow to pass straight forward, but my mother was able to turn sideways to get in. Bathroom gets the job done, but could definitely use an update.
The kitchen is small, and as this home is still used by the family at times, there is a lot of clutter on the already limited counter space. So if you're planning on cooking set up one or two of the tv trays in front of the backdoor to give you some more working/prep space. The owners provide natural cleaning clothes and dish soap, which I don't feel get the job done. So you may want to buy a small bottle of your favorite dish soap and kitchen cleaner if you're a clean freak like me.
Over all the lake house was a great place to stay, and I'm absolutely positive it is an even better experience in the summer, with its deck over the water and it's private steps taking you right to the water. I plan to book again in the summer months sometime.
