    The lake view was so beautiful and we enjoyed fishing off of the dock. The location is amazing! But the house is not, in my opinion, a good option for families with small children. The deck would be easy for a small child to slip or squeeze through and fall. There is no gate that secures the deck from the stairs and water below. Also, inside the house, the flooring slopes in the living area.This can make walking unsteady until you get used to the dip. When we arrived, the house wasnt clean but the property manager made sure to send out a cleaner. But it is always unsettling to have to clean bathrooms and the kitchen when you check in.

    Bedrooms were great, separate sides of the house. Dining area was nice for eating and playing Uno. The living room was a good hangout for movies and snow flurry watching. The whole house was nicely heated. Great location for game day!

    Had a great stay at the property, parking was easy and the house was well kept. 2 small complaints, the bathroom was tiny and could be difficult to use, also on one side of the house there was a huge slant in the floor (3 degrees according to the level on my phone) not a problem for myself but it could be an issue for some people
