Summary: This is a charming unique home built in 1939 with remodeling done. We had an issue with the water heater not working for the first 24 hours, the owner worked to get it replaced. I understand unavoidable things come up, but the owner could have communicated better. I messaged the following day at 2pm saying we could not spend another night without having the ability to shower and it took over 2 hours to get a response. Given we are hot sleepers, I always check there is central vac. There was… just not upstairs where all of the bedrooms were. The property details should be updated to reflect this. We had just two bathrooms for 7 people so we expected it to be tight, but given the finicky septic system the main floor bathroom never once flushed. So it was unusable for toilet facilities. This same system was responsible for the notices around taking really short showers and an encouragement to not use the laundry facilities. Again, I selected the property because we had the ability to do laundry and not come home having to spend all day doing laundry. Given all the other water issues and clear discouragement we didn’t use. The property details when booking should reflect this as an ask. We did appreciate and use the kayaks and the lake itself was a peaceful place to partake in this activity. We paid to have a pontoon delivered which we really enjoyed cruising around the lake with. The fish never bit but that didn’t stop the boys from trying.
