The house is beautiful - the dock is huge- loved the chair swings - and the lake is amazing. The location- right across from Twin Cove Marina- was convenient and fun (they had live music several evenings). Pictures are fairly accurate.
Plenty of parking for our group of 10 (4 vehicles).
A couple of things to note:
It looks like there might be a grill at the dock in one of the pictures, but there is not.
We didn’t realize we would not be able to access the garage- probably should have asked. We had good weather every day so we could play cornhole, etc on the driveway but would have been good to have some shade.
Driveway is very steep till you get right to the house.
The tram is the only way to get between house & lake (about 4 mins each way). Not as steep or long as many trams.
There are a few steps at the bottom between tram and dock, and no handrails on the last few steps, but for most people it would be fine to navigate.
Fire pit was huge with lots of chairs.
I thought the cancellation policy was very generous.
When we got the detailed property info via email about a week prior to start of vacation, after the reservation became non-refundable, there were a few surprise rules.
The AGA unit in the kitchen- only the 2 ovens on the left & the gas cooktop were working, and we did a lot of cooking, so that was a bit of a challenge.
There was also one big drawer in the kitchen that was broken (labeled as such).
The cabinets are very tall and there is not much storage you can reach in the kitchen unless you’re really tall!
Having a fridge both upstairs and downstairs was great.
Fairly well stocked kitchen in terms of utensils - it would be nice to have a few more mixing or storage bowls. But we cook a lot, maybe more than most.
Must bring own grilling utensils.
The AC quit working on the last night we were there (Sat) inside temp got to 77 and probably a little hotter than that in the uppermost bedroom. I could not reach anyone via text or VRBO messaging. I don’t know that they could have done anything Sat nite, but …..
We really had an awesome time! We will definitely go back to this lake. Will ask a few more questions about the property rules up front next time now that we are more educated consumers.
