This house worked well for our friends' weekend retreat. The dock has just been replaced with recycled plastic decking, so you can ignore the old reviews that said the dock was unsafe. They added some solar lights too, but I recommend bringing your own lanterns if you plan to hang there after dark. The house itself is comfortable with some nice beds and enough bathrooms. It has the common problems of rental houses, and the pictures are old. The futon in the basement has been replaced by a table and chairs. There's a sleeper sofa down there, but it's terribly uncomfortable. I recommend bringing an air mattress if you plan to put people in the basement rec room. Overall, we liked it though. My group wants to come back!
