We loved our time on the water and the ease of getting our kayaks in and out of the water while our mother enjoyed her time reading outdoors, but bug free, on the screened in porch. The layout was perfect for us since there were only a few steps for my mom (in her 80's) to get in and out of the house and then the screened porch/kitchen/living room/bathroom and her bedroom were all on the main level. We love wild life and were thrilled to see a heron, a beaver, ducks, geese and squirrels all from our "home". Out on the lake we saw more ducks and an eagle. The kitchen had a nice, spacious feel. The pull out drawers in the pantry were AWESOME! We were able to store all of our potatoes/tomatoes/onions etc on one drawer, snacks on another, dry goods like spices, flour, sugar etc on another it was all organized and easy to find things because you could pull the drawer out. Everything in the home was clean and in working order. Our last lake rental had horrible septic issues but we had no problem at all here. As others have mentioned, the driveway is steep and can be intimidating but after our first drive down, it was all good. We were thankful for the extra "pulloff" space at the top of the drive. It made a world of difference just knowing that it was there and you don't have to pull out right into traffic. Thank you to the owners for a wonderful stay!
