The Pines

This property is stuck in between several other properties at the end of the road. Parking is inconvenient. Unloading vehicles is tiresome as their yard is chained off from the driveway. Many small rooms and very musty smelling. There are cobwebs everywhere. Sofas had pet hair on them. One pullout sofa was full of dead beetles and stained. TV remote did not work even with changing batteries. We were there for four nights and they left one washcloth and two towels to use in the kitchen. Chairs outside are full of pollen and mildew. Did not leave a note where to find extra supplies, such as paper towel or extra towels. No air conditioning which was noted in the listing, but it did really make the home smell musty.

Great communication, easy process to check in and out, absolutely incredible frontage and outdoor space. 10/10 all around.

It would have been helpful to have pictures of the lakefront, the entry is shallow and sandy(ish) however the lack of ladders on docks/raft is a really downside for kids swimming. Docking the boat overnight proved to be a little difficult because there are no cleats available- manageable just plan ahead. There is plenty of room to turn out/park a trailer if bringing a boat. Nearest boat launch is a couple lakes away on townlike lake. Another note for those traveling with younger kids, you cannot see the backyard from the kitchen- I am talking to you moms. There is a baby gate available for the top of the stairs, but I would recommend packing a couple extension cords as it is an older house so there are not as many outlets as there are in newer houses. All rooms were clean and there are plenty of fans throughout the house to help with lack of AC. There is wood on site and lots of chairs outside to enjoy the views. Quiet, peaceful property
