Amazing property, jacked up price
The good: Overall the place was fantastic. It’s a beautiful house and almost every amenity was considered and included, down to bikes, floaty toys for the pool, etc. If you’re looking for a gorgeous and comfortable place to stay and just chill out and/or you want lake access, I think you can’t beat it. There are cool parks and hikes within a reasonable drive. Even the nearby towns are spread out and it’s pretty much in the middle of nowhere, so just know what to expect for the area.
The bad:
1) By far the biggest con - we booked the property over a year in advance for the total eclipse, then just a few weeks before our booking, the host slapped us with a huge price hike and charged us an EXTRA $1400, claiming they didn’t know what they were doing when they made the listing and set the price, and had to charge us more given the high demand for our dates. We knew we weren’t going to find a better place for 14 people to stay right in the middle of the path of totality, so we paid it, but it sure left a bad taste in our mouths.
2) The bed situation really doesn’t accommodate 14 adults. The 2 people sleeping on the foldout sofa gave up on it after the first night. At least the upper bunks in the 6-person room were reportedly not great either - I’m sure would be fine for kids though.
3) No toaster. Given the attention to detail otherwise, it just seemed like an odd oversight.
