From the pictures we were expecting to be a very short walk to the lake from the house, however, the pic is quite misleading. Even if the lake was full (as it most definitely was not ...super super low water level) it would have been quite a hike down a very steep slope down to the water level. We could see some of the lake through tops of trees but it was so low it was barely visible from back patio. Upstairs and downstairs outdoor patios were really nice and great spot to hang pit and visit with passerby deer, bunnies, prairie dogs and Turkey Vultures. Only the upstairs bedroom was really nice, the others (all downstairs) were very small and one of the beds was super squeaky. The 3 (20 to 22 year olds) were fine sleeping all together in one room (3 twin beds), but may not be comfortable for older adults. Kitchen was well stocked with necessities.
Oh, there is no A/C at this house, however, the swamp cooler worked really well & in the 90+ degree weather it was quite sufficient. Paid $5/kayak and paddleboard upon arrival, but never ended up using them as the lake was not convenient. House overall was clean and enjoyable. Only room for 5 on the available couches, but with the dining chairs nearby all 8 of us could be in living room simultaneously.
