this is a beautiful, simple house that is comfortable and lets the location impress. the kitchen is well stocked (extras are in the side board), everything is comfortable and very clean. good amount of storage space and room to spread out, including outdoor area. we brought bikes and a kayak. we could hear the lake from the bedroom at times, which was nice. town is very close though it doesn't feel that way. the beach is great, soft sand, all the drift wood and pebbles you want to enjoy. It is a walk from the house, though, and though ecologically healthy don't plan on anyone with mobility problems having an easy time getting to the beach. it is shallow for a long way out so even the 3 year old felt like he could play 'in the deep end of the lake!'
a few minor complaints, the house was hard to find in the dark, managers directions are good but it was difficult to see street signs or landmarks in town in the dark. grocery options are typical vacation town, limited and depending on the day, so think ahead, though we just adjusted our plans and were fine. my rating of communication with the manager was based on what we learned later was a problematic week for her and I think not typical. Overall, a beautiful house and spot and extremely relaxing. We were all sad to leave and hope to return in the future!
