As advertised, the home was dated which we were accepting of. However the cleanliness and adjoining trailer park were not acceptable. The trailers located on the street leading to the home were in disrepair and quite honestly made us feel unsafe. Some appeared uninhabited while a few appeared uninhabitable. We did not feel safe allowing our children to walk on this road.

On arrival, the pool was found green. Cushions on the pool patio were old and appeared dirty. An empty planter was out with cigarette butts in it. There were several half empty and outdated sunscreens left on a shelf. The screen roof above the pool had several tears in it.

Stepping into the home, we experienced an overwhelming mold smell. We had to go to a store to purchase several candles and air fresheners after airing out the house and cleaning it didn't resolve the odor.

At first look the house appeared clean. Looking closer, the family room rug was stained, the living room couch was stained, there water stains on a bedroom ceiling and the floors were dirty.

The bathrooms and kitchen appliances were found in good condition.

The adjoining garage was locked up. Looking through the garage windows, the garage was found to be full of stuff. The adjoining fish pond was so green you couldnt see through the water. We were told by the caretaker that the fish were eaten by the birds. This pond is a significant source for mosquito breeding and was a huge concern to us.

There was a canoe on site that was available for use. The caretaker instructed us not to drag it because he had repaired a hole in it but not to worry because the river wasn't deep(we didn't take a chance).

The saving grace to this home is the view. Each morning we woke up to a beautiful sun rising on the lake.

In summary, I would never stay here again nor would I ever recommend it to anyone. Vacation is meant to be a time to relax. We work very hard for our vacation time and this was very disappointing.

I have numerous pictures to back up what has been said above.
