High potential awaited
We had numerous maid issues once we arrived that I've communicated with the owner, who seems willing to accept feedback positively. The big selling point was the deck outside but he provided no furniture to relax on. AS he has stated, he had noise issues with previous tenants, doesn't mean you penalize adults who follow. We made recommendations to make this place much more enjoyable, I hope he follows through. No one wants to stay inside and using his hardwood dining room furniture to stare at the stars or the lake doesn't cut it. We mentioned to the owner that his place should be like a hotel stay with towels, and bathroom accessories filled and ready for use, for us it was not. He agreed to meet with his maid to get the services to match his price to rent. The yard is very steep and virtually of no value for recreation or relaxing which is why the deck is the focal point of this rental. The bed was comfy downstairs and the place had very nice ventilation from opening the windows to keep it from heating up in the hot weather we experienced. I recommended a barbeque for the outside deck, who wants to stay indoors and cook and the pit on his hill is not of any use, not to mention a fire danger with the very dry conditions at his place. We saw wild turkeys but no deer, that was disappointing, I think the heat was a factor. The lake would be quite a hike, and the walk back would be up a very steep hill. Be prepared to spend 10 bucks for access to every parking lot at the lake, there is a restaurant but I have no idea how good it is.
