My family and I stayed from a Thursday - Monday. What we liked best about this property was the ample and open spaces that accommodated our group very well. Being late-May, we weren't expecting the weather to cooperate enough to make us want to swim, but it was HOT. The water directly off the dock is indeed poor, as the listing warns. However, the sandbar that is ~300 ft from the dock was fairly easy to find and a few of us did use the canoe to venture out and take a dip in the chilly water. It would have been nice to take more people out, however there was no drain plug supplied for the rowboat - which made it unusable!! We were able to use the canoe and one of the paddle boats.
Some things to note if considering this rental:
* Only one extra roll of toilet paper per bathroom was provided
* Though ample kitchen & dish utensils, dish ware, glasses, pots & pans are provided (3 dishwasher pods were there for us to use) - there are NO other kitchen amenities. Bring your own dish soap, sponge, paper towels, napkins, garbage bags, coffee maker filters, etc. We arrived to none of these & needed to make a fairly large grocery run to get them.
* The grill grates could be in better condition. Bring a good grill grate spray!
* Fire pit wood is not provided
* I noticed on an earlier review (Apr. 2021) that the reviewer said the bathroom pocket door in the loft area came off it's track. It did for us too!! A call to maintenance was made and they made note. The door would shut (sort of) but not securely.
* New shower heads are needed in both showers. Or they at least need a good clean-out as the calcium buildup makes them spray incredibly uneven!
Despite these notes, our family had a great stay. The location is very private and the space is wonderful for a large group. The house was clean. Bath towels and bed linens for each bed/person staying were wrapped up in a sanitary manner & ready for us to make each bed. We had 2 dogs with us and a goodie bag was provided for each pooch. There was also a human goodie bag provided that included two nice multi-spice jars that were well used.
