We got to the property and it hadn’t been cleaned. There was a misunderstanding and they did come quickly to clean it. The property was clean and the new mattresses were great. They could use some new furniture in the living room and a new screen door. The patio was nice.

Comfortable stay!
Host was friendly and helpful, and the condo had everything we needed, and offered a lovely view of, and access to, the lake. The upstairs bedrooms are especially spacious. The area is great. We had a very comfortable stay, and enjoyed the breeze off of the lake in the evenings.

What you pay for
The unit was as described and mostly clean. We encountered an ant problem in one bedroom that took us from sleep one night until we sorted it out. Wish there had been a second toilet downstairs. Exit to balcony upstairs was a little precarious as the door opened up over the stairway. View from the patio was lovely and probably our favorite part. Local food places were awesome.
