Summary: The views of the lake and layout of the upstairs were all we hoped for! Stairs to downstairs are steep and narrow—probably wouldn’t pass code in my home state but we managed fine. The beds were comfortable—including the bunk bed. Checkin was easy and the host manager was responsive.A also appreciated the host allowing us to come and leave a day later on short notice without a charge. Our only concern was the gas oven. It worked but the carbon monoxide alarm in the downstairs went off 2 hours later and we had to call the fire department and have the gas company come out. We learned this was not the first time the alarm went off. The stove was deemed defective and tagged. We were reimbursed for the impacted day but it was a hassle.
