Great place - should make clear that pool is not on property but a mile away by main gate. Very steep access to lake and trail needs upgrade - very slippery if wet. House is beautiful and well equipped. Children loved the loft with play area and kitchen thoughtfully appointed. We'll be back!

Hi Joanna, thank you for saying the house was nice and you’ll be back. I’m struggling a little to respond to your comments about the Stairs, As you know we were there when you arrived an hour and a half early and wanted to check in early. It had rained 4 inches in the 48 hours prior to your arrival. We use the stairs that day and they were neither slippery nor muddy, so not sure why you made that comment. My four-year-old granddaughter has no problems navigating the stairs and even our two year-old twins go up and down the stairs with help with their parents. The listing clearly indicates that there are 136 stairs down to the beach and are not handicapped accessible. In our listing we also stated that there’s a community pool. I’m not sure why you would expect it to be on our property or next door.
