Lakehouse with Game Room, Fire Pit, Beach+Pool access. Sleeps 7. Pet-Friendly!

Thank you Emily!

Just an update on this review. I believe the "musty smell" that I've heard people complain about was actually the cleaning products that my cleaner was using. That's since been changed and I haven't heard about any musty smell. The house is cleaned thoroughly before any guests arrive. I've had all the bedrooms and common areas painted since 2019 and more painting is planned for 2020/21. I'll have updated pictures on here at some point. But I have many groups who come through and have vacations so it's impossible to keep a place flawless. It's a lake house! Improvements and upgrades occur every year and is based on guest feedback.

Hi Richard. I'm so sorry your group had issues with the mattresses and the canoe. As I tell all of my guests, let me know if there's any issues! Saying nothing to me and then complaining on a review doesn't improve your situation and makes me look like I don't care. I am here to please! To be fair, those "terrible" mattresses are 2 years old and I spent a week on one this spring just fine and have heard no complaints from the prior 8 groups this season. But it appears they're not adequate for some and I already ordered 4-inch mattress pads for these beds which will be on them going forward. As far as my canoe is concerned, it has a minor dent, yes. But for 4 summers, this is the first time someone has said it's difficult to use. I'll pick up a new canoe this week and it will be there for any new renters. To any potential renters reading this critique: This type of post-stay criticism is hard to swallow when nothing was said to me at the time. I try really hard to make everyone happy. Short of knocking down a wall, I will do everything possible to make sure you're comfortable. I take your vacation very seriously and I value everyone who stays at my house.

Thanks Andrew! Hope you and your family will be back for a future vacation!

Hi Gary, Sorry to hear about your negative experience 6 weeks ago. Over the offseason, I'll be installing a gutter system and taking other waterproofing measures to keep water away from the crawlspace that I believe is the cause of this musty smell. I had closed cell memory foam installed in the walls of the crawlspace to address this issue and it seems to have not had the desired effect. The humid weather this summer made this more of an issue as well. But more will be done to resolve this. There are new memory foam mattresses on 4 out of the 6 beds that are less than a year old. I'll be replacing another mattress this offseason which is 8 years old, and the final one being 5 years. Sorry if these didn't feel adequate to your party and improvements are ongoing. I've made several updates and repairs in each of the 3 years I've owned this property and tenant feedback is always the major factor in my choices. Thank you for staying and sharing your concerns. They will be addressed before Spring of 2019.
