The absolutely gorgeous views of the lake and the sunset and location near the wine trail are the only things that kept me from leaving this house and opting for a hotel. The house overall has a very strange and foul odor particularly downstairs (the bedroom). Upon further inspection of a small door in the bedroom it was apparent where the smell was coming from - the sewer lines from the upstairs bathroom. Unfortunately, the access door to the pipes does not close, thus the smell permeates the house. Whomever manages the property must be aware of this issue because each floor has a plug in air freshener I assume to mitigate the issue. However, the downstairs one was empty and the smell was overpowering. The house also has large, black ants, which is both expected by a lake, but could also easily be taken care of. The decks and balcony were absolutely covered with cobwebs - again would be a 10 minute job with a broom. The bathroom lacked hand soap completely and when we grabbed the hand soap from the kitchen sink it was a hand soap bottle that was filled with water. We left a bottle of soap that we purchased during our stay to extend to others the courtesy that we were not. The roman shades that cover all of the doors that overlook the lake were hard to operate and 3 of 4 were malfunctioning. Would have left them alone but it was necessary to roll them up completely to use the doors and without them down you can see right into the house at night. The notes indicated that there "may" be wifi - may=no wifi...ever...the entire stay. I was also really disappointed as I had purchased specific food to cook on the grill because the listing indicated there was a gas grill on the premises. The grill was covered with rust, food particles, and chunks of aluminum foil that I can only assume was others' past attempts to mitigate the nasty grill surface. Overall, it appears that this place is poorly managed and that whomever is in charge of upkeep is either not detail oriented, or simply doesn't care. It's a shame because this property has a TON of potential. So, if you're only interested in sleeping somewhere with great views and you don't have a sense of smell nor do you mind ants, this is your spot.
