Very bitter neighbor
The place was clean. The communication was great. Bedrooms have no tvs and it does get cold down stairs but heater works good. It was 2 adults and 2 kids my stay was good until Sunday night my husband ran into the neighbor who lives to the left of the house when facing the house at the store and he made a comment while pointing at me to the clerk saying “most of these renters normally leave on Sunday don’t know what these people are still doing here”. That made us really upset and he wanted to say something but he just stayed quiet because we are on vacation as a family after that rest of the night we were uncomfortable and felt unsafe couldn’t wait for night to end.

Perfect!
The stay was really perfect. The home is in a great location with lake views (avoiding lake winds during day). The patio is great and all amenities were sufficient. Short distance to main restaurants and excellent neighborhood to just walk around with our kids. Really enjoyed it!
