"This was a very nice property. There were a few deficiencies that I will list first. There was a big broken board on the dock that one could fall through. Very dangerous. I found a piece of wood to put over it but still a major deficiency. Also the lawns had not been mowed in weeks. Grass was over 14 inches long in places. Oak tree dropped tons of acorns and there no broom to sweep the patio so we bought one and left it. No instructions on using any of the appliances. The combo microwave oven was very annoying to use, and it took over 5 minutes for 1 mug of water or milk. Made a LOT of extraneous sounds that were loud and annoying. The Murphy bed hydraulics were set way too tight, and hard to pull down, and would not stay down. Not usable. The hideabed was way too uncomfortable to be usable. One person pull down murphy and hold it, then 2 would move mattress on top of the hide a bed, then let Murphy bed to spring back. That worked fine (with some cushions under head of the mattress). Location was great. Big kitchen really nice though many pots dont work on induction stove. Never used before. Hated it. I now know I will never get one. Was a little challenging getting in water with kayaks from high dock but hoist was great! Great bass fishing! Big for length and hard fights. One son caught a PB of 3.1 lb, another 3.0 lb. then beat it with 4.5 lb. I caught a 6 lb drum. Lots panfish off dock. Had a fantastic time. Goodies choc store a must!! This area of lake nice and quiet. "
