We rented this home because we wanted to be on a lake where we could swim from the house. We paid a higher price for a rental to be on the water. There were limited summer time pictures available for this house on the listing so BEFORE BOOKING I wrote and asked about the swimming off the dock. I was told it was excellent. Turns out it was not. Covered in algae and the DEQ had a warning for cyanobacteria. Hosts said sorry that is so rare. Per the neighbors, happens all the time at that end of the lake where the house is located and is often unsafe to swim. Also no cell service which was not disclosed in listing. We had both ATT and Verizon between us and no one could get cell service. We had WIFI calling out but no one could text us or call us. Again, hosts said they had never heard of such a thing. The hot tub was dirty and cloudy. To their credit, the hosts immediately sent someone over to drain and clean it. The house itself was beautiful and clean with a great layout for a larger group (seven of us). We did see a couple of live mice on the downstairs floor. We weren't too bothered by them so we didn't contact hosts about it as we did not want them to do an extermination in the middle of our vacation. We would not rent this home again because really it is not a usable "lake" house (you can't swim or safely get into the water at this location).

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. It has plenty of space and also worked for our son-in-law who is a quadriplegic and in a wheel chair. He just had to use his ramps to get into the house and used a small ramp to get in and out of the shower. The only disappointing thing was that the children could not swim at the house. The lake was very mossy and green and not a good place for swimming, ever from the dock. Everything else was great. Thank you for letting us use your home.

We had a great time, we really did not need to reach out to the home owners since we received clear instructions, we appreciate the dog friendly house and are so grateful for the memories we made there! Thank you again for sharing your home!
