We stayed in this property for two weeks in August of 2019.
The house is well-situated with a lovely view of Lake Annecy, and if that's your primary goal you would do well to rent this property. Renters should be aware, however, that the interior is quite dark, with a rustic cabin feel -- and it feels a bit dingy. We found the main surfaces (counters, bathrooms, floors) generally clean but the ceilings, stairs, windows, and light fixtures were quite dusty, some with visible cobwebs and spiderwebs. The place could use a good deep clean.
Renters should also be aware that the owner attempts to show up prior to departure to "inspect" the property -- and we found his expectations to be unreasonable. We took care to leave the house better than we found it -- not just tidying the place and removing trash, but also vacuuming and dusting (I even used the vacuum attachment to clean the cobwebs and debris from the ceilings, stairs and window sills). So I was surprised to receive angry text messages from the owner because we didn't clean the toilets and we left a small number of useful items (sugar for coffee, aluminum foil, three unopened beers) in the kitchen. It's possible he was being defensive because we had complained about the cleanliness of the property, but if not, future renters should understand that he expects you not just to tidy up, but to fully prepare the unit for subsequent renters. That wasn't something we expected and we found it to be unreasonable.
Despite that misunderstanding, and despite the rather surly communications with the owner, overall we still found the property to be a suitable, nicely-located, convenient base for exploring Lake Annecy. The parking is convenient, the view is truly breathtaking, and the front porch is a delightful place to enjoy any meal, day or night. The distance to the lake is rather far and steep, but still accessible for the physically fit.
