Summary: A rustic lake front cabin stay. Terrific hosts and some great features but not what we had in mind from the pictures and descriptions. Directly on the lake … a million dollar view. We had some issues with security, the main door did not lock from the inside, outside a padlock was used and we were provided the lock and key in order to lock up when we left. The photos and description were lacking in describing the layout of the accommodations, there was a stairway going up to the hosts quarters (which may have had a door at the top) that was an open part of the guest living space. It seemed at times as though the door was open due to the tv volume and voices upstairs. A solo traveler may have felt insecure with these issues. The cabin seemed clean and tidy but there was a pervasive smell of damp lake water. The hosts did provide a dehumidifier which needed to be emptied twice a day (so it was obviously working but the smell was still strong to both of us)The running water for the kitchen and bath seemed to come directly from the lake or maybe a well but it had a strong odor and wouldn’t have been drinkable ( our hosts kindly provided us with two gallons of spring water) A very hard bed difficult to sleep. So, wonderful hosts and a great space if you know what you’re in for. Just not what we were hoping for on this trip.
