The house was well sized for our family of 4 plus one set of grandparents. The house was clean and had a washer and dryer for use, which we did. It was nice to have two living spaces, one became for the kids and one for adults. The kitchen was adequately supplied and we cooked about half our meals in. However, the small grill was barely standing, with an extremely dirty grate of the wrong size (we rigged it to use) and no ash pan so we took it to the driveway so ash was falling on gravel instead of grass. I've never showed up to a rental with a gross, uncleaned grill. There was even charcoals we had to clean out. The dock is there but very wiggly. The swim platform in the pictures is not in the lake and looks like it hasn't been for some time. It is not swimmable off the dock. We managed to get the kayak and paddleboard launched off the side of it, so that was nice. If you like fires, you get 8 sticks of wood total which is a laugh. Plan on brining in more. If you're planning on bringing a boat, the launch is across the other side of the lake (small lake) and it is TIGHT to have the trailer at the house if you also have two cars. It worked but the neighbors are not very neighborly and one must take care to not touch their driveways to assist in turning around. In fact, I heard one cussing out his wife outside so I'm guessing he's one of the ones who'd have a problem with his driveway being touched. Our stay was fine, but I've paid less for better.

We wanted a location with a great lake view...and we got it, and more! We loved having morning coffee outside watching the sun come up and the bonus was a family of bald eagles in the trees above us. We got to watch them all week and it was priceless. We understand from the neighbors that this family is here year-round. The house is very comfortable and accommodated us and our guests nicely. Lia provides everything that you might need for your stay. Our main goal was spending time outdoors and Lia's place was perfect for this. The fishing was a bit of a disappointment, but again, the neighbors were great in telling us that it's normally not like this. I guess there was an overgrowth of grass due to the warmer water temps but we caught many blue gill. We saw and spoke with others who were catching Muskie and one eagle caught and ate (in the same tree above us) a large mouth bass, so we know that they're out there. We would definitely consider staying with Lia again, she's a great host!

The place was very nice and clean. There was a water issue the owner knew about prior to arrival and it was not taken care of the week we were there and the carpeting was soaked and we needed to walk through it to get upstairs. The owner also knew three families were staying and bringing two boats and the parking was not adequate
