Lake front property with our own personal dock with a ladder to allow access in/out of the water. There is a nice lower deck area next to the lake with umbrellas and a tub of lifejackets for floating. We loved the dining room with plenty of seating for our family of 8 and view from the kitchen and dining can't be beat! Spacious home for sure and loved being up in the trees (although I think some tree trimming might be in order - see below). Well stocked with some great family games.
This property is old and shows signs of that, which is understandable of a house built in the 70s but some of the upkeep on the property lends to a kind of creepy/dirty vibe. Broken lattice, a few broke down boats and an old dusty vehicle all welcome you as you enter the property. Most of the solar lights that allow you to view loose gravel trails are not working, lots of dead plants, and the spider webs in the rafters and broken/old furniture in the carport are combined to make it kinda unsettling.
It should be noted that the downstairs rooms with jack and jill bathroom that is perfect for kids can only be accessed with an exterior staircase, which worked out okay because we have teens, but would have been a NO Go if we had younger kids, especially due to the creep factor mentioned above.
The bathrooms need an update badly, not just dated decor, we're talking chips out of the fiberglass in the shower.
And now for the worse part, the new AC that was installed can cool the house; HOWEVER, it is on some kind of pre-set timer that automatically turns off the system until 3:45 pm each day, despite setting an alternative temp. Now I get that for your arrival date/time because check in is at 4 pm, but on the days that we're actually staying there, and one in particular that we left for Yosemite at 0700 and had the thermostat set at 75 degrees to insure a nice cool rest when we returned...the AC system auto turned off, and we were welcomed back at 4pm to 87 degree house after an exhausting day of hiking in nearly 100 degree temps. It took until 10 pm that night to cool the house to tolerable, and unlike other houses that we have rented in the past, there was not a single Fan to be found in any of the closets, etc.
Thankful that previous commenter warned us about the line to get into the gated community. It sucks!

The view is very nice!
The house and furniture are very old and they need to repair. The house is not clean.
4.5 / 5.0
The location was amazing. The private dock was perfect for fishing and swimming in the summer. The house itself was large with a huge front room for socializing. The large kitchen table was also perfect for the whole group to eat meals together.
The house was older and the toilet in the back of the house was not working. It was running constantly. We looked under the toilet everything was rusted.
4.0 / 5.0
Location was perfect. Great spot to take the family. House had everything we needed.
Nothing I would expect them to fix, but the shower is small.
