Home's water had rotten egg smell
From the time we arrived to the time we left actually a day early the water had a very strong rotten egg smell many emails and phone calls to the management company and it was never resolved. We had to shower and wash dishes in rotten eggs.The home was nice, the mgt. company not recommended. I think owners should have access to guest/mgt company real time communications to head off such a bad guest experience.

Great place for dogs
This is a great place especially if you have dogs. The only advice I would give the management company is to leave directions to the transfer station or better yet take the trash for your guests at the end of their stay. Putting smelly trash in our car wasn’t great. All in all though, it was a great place for a family with dogs!

Peaceful setting, awful parking.
Overall a nice quiet home located at the end of the road. Area was beautiful and the weather was very pleasant. My only complaint would be the parking. The parking area appeared to not have been mowed in months. And it required a fair amount of manoeuvring of my midsized car to turn around to leave.

Uncomfortable without heat.
The heat was not working when we arrived. We had hoped to make it through night without it, but could not. I felt it was too late to have someone (not a technician) arrive after 9pm to attempt to correct. The assistant manager and I agreed someone would come out in the morning, but the night proved too cold for us to stay any longer. Bottom line is the should have been working upon our arrival. Place not set up properly. This is the first and only time this has happened to us. Thank you.

It was ok but could have been a home run
Was very basic. Things are a bit weathered /old. The 2nd bedroom is the basement and we were on a cement floor. Some vinyl flooring would have been much better. And no TV in the 2nd bedroom. The 2nd full bathroom had some major paint peeling like 12”x10”. There is no real access to the water no clearing no chairs no fire pit which was a big shame , the neighbor to the left had a beautiful set up. Now they did supply some binoculars which were great to see some bald eagles. But all in all was just ok some TLC would make it a 1000 times better.

Don't stay at this property
Cleanliness was poor. Inside and outside of property. Nails sticking out of the floor. No trash bags, dog poop all over the outside of the property. Lights on deck did not work.

Modern, comfortable home with a beautiful view
We stayed here with my brother's family, which included a few small kids. The space is very nice, clean, and easy to use and the view of the water is amazing. The floors are all wood or cement (in the basement) so not the best for babies, and you can hear pretty much everything throughout the house between the floors. But it is exactly as it looks in the pictures and is a great place to stay.

A nice winter vacation, but not “perfect”
The house has a great layout and a lovely setting, and the management company is very responsive. The challenge is with the details: the furniture isn’t all that comfortable, the kitchen is kind of randomly equipped (e.g. about 5 frying pans but no ladle or baking sheet), and the living room only had bright overhead lighting. These things might be less of an issue in the summer, but for a winter vacation you want comfortable furniture with good lighting to read a book or do a crossword puzzle. The listing should state you need 4-wheel drive in the winter as we found the last stretch of the road was pretty much a sheet of ice. Overall we had a good week at the house but it could have been even better.
