The property itself was gorgeous-lots of trees, birds and a beautiful view of the lake. However, the room we stayed in was less than expected. It wasn't filthy-the sheets and towels were obviously laundered and it was an okay place to sleep-but it definitely wasn't what I would call clean (both bathrooms had hair and debris on the floor). I also understand everything being dated-that's fine-but at some point, you have to start replacing broken or extremely worn out items.
Also, and it wasn't a big deal for this particular trip as I was travelling with my husband and father-in-law, was the door itself. I don't mind actual keys, but the deadbolt doesn't work, and the handle that has the other lock is barely holding on. I could have easily made entry into the room without the key, and as a small lady who travels alone frequently, that would have been a deal breaker the first day for me solo (I understand the area is safe but you really never know).
Lastly, the owner is very gruff, and acted like we were putting him out for a)asking to check in late even though according to the sign on their front door that is a VERY common occurrence and b)letting him know the air unit in the main room wasn't working correctly. We ended up leaving a day early due to other circumstances, but I wasn't sad to leave.
