Review Score:   8
Summary: Beautiful home with many architectural and Finnish decor touches and a wonderful wooded lake setting. The kitchen is well stocked. This is one of the nicest VRBO's we've had the pleasure of staying in. Our main concern and criticism is that we were unable to get any Wi-Fi access or to use the television. Our phones seldom worked. The owners who live out of the area were unable to help us, which was frustrating. Also, in the interest of full transparency, while the photos show a fireplace, renters should be aware that it cannot be used during your stay. We would still recommend this VRBO as long as you go in knowing these things.
