If I could give this a 4.5 out of 5 I would.
It’s a really nice place, and the property management is very organized and responsive.
From what I can tell this is a newer rental property, and it’s in the process of being updated.
The good:
- Entire place was very clean when we arrived.
- Location is great. Centrally located and beautiful views.
- Large updated kitchen with plenty of cooking supplies. Large dining table and stools.
- First floor master is very nice and the master bath is probably the best feature in the house.
- Beds were all very nice and comfortable.
- Ground level floor is nice and has tons of games and things to do for young kids.
- New was washer/dryer
The not-so-good:
- The dock (and steps leading down) is in need of some attention. Several nails/screws sticking out, areas of wood rot, etc.
- Windows in living room leak (a lot) when it rains.
- HVAC is tricky. Very good in general living area, but not great in bedrooms. And bedrooms do not have ceiling fans. (Luckily they had two stationary fans we moved into the bedrooms) Loft area also gets pretty warm.
- Some things were just broken or not working. (Master bedroom doorknob, fridge ice dispenser, one of the upper deck sliding doors, etc.)
- No trash cans or garage. (Not unusual to not have trash pickup on the lake. You have to drive your trash to a local dumpster abt 15 mins away)... BUT, without any covered trash cans or a garage to store your trash, you have to take several trips to the dump, otherwise you end up with smelly trash in the house). And you can’t leave it out at night or the animals will get into it.
- Internet was very very slow
The property management was really responsive. When we noticed an issue, all I had to do was email them and they had it fixed by the same time the next day. (Example they fixed the doorknob, and removed or replaced the nails on the dock)
I would expect this rental will continue to improve over time.
