"The position on the lake on the deck was lovely. We felt unfortunately that the owners had just popped out, far too much clutter and personal belongings around. The main bedroom was spacious, but the other rooms were very disappointing. Definitely need to upgrade the linen , towels and pillows. The 4 cats may be a big issue with guests. The owners were delightful, however the place did diassapoint in many areas. If you are wanting modern and comfort, this is not the place."
