Wonderful House with Lots of Cameras
What we loved: This house was a perfect size and location for our family. The creek out back was a wonderful surprise with daily visits from Chelan duck friends. The house was beautiful with peek a boo views of the lake and a short walk to the boat dock. The beds were very comfortable as well and the entire house was very tastefully decorated. The boat slip and lift were amazing! The bunkhouse loft was great for our "kids" who are actually teenagers. After booking the house, I read where "kids" refers to those under the age of 12. The bunks were perfect for teenagers as well as kids under the age of 12 despite what the description states.
The not so perfect: The house has quite a few cameras and signs reminding guests that they are "being recorded". We felt a bit uncomfortable with that as we sat outside enjoying our family conversation with cameras pointed at us. The house has a water feature that would really add to the experience, however it wasn't working and was covered in algae which brought gnats and things. It seems for what we paid per night, that is something that would be a priority to fix. During out stay, there was a plumbing issue that the manager attempted to resolve, but it took several phone calls to me during our vacation to try to arrange a plumber to come into the house. All plumbing was in working order, but a loud, high pitched sound would result when someone was using water. After being told that the best time was 7:00 am, we told them we would put up with the sound so as not to be interrupted by plumbers at the crack of dawn. I'm sure the issue was resolved shortly after we left.
All in all it was a great week and we had no intention of doing something that the cameras would "catch us" doing. The house is truly beautiful and when all features are in working order, it will be an amazing rental.
