Summary: Rented Wed. through Sun. Arrived in the evening. Was surprised that the driveway is steep. Wanted to grill with the Traeger but it wouldn't work. Texted owners and they were very responsive even though it was late. Turns out it's a bad GFCI outlet but not another place to plug in. Also discovered no kayak paddles anywhere on premises. Owners ordered an extension cord for the Traeger and new kayak paddles but unfortunately they wouldn't arrive until Sat. which was too late for our use. We toured the area and the location was only minutes from many things. The home was very clean. A bit worn in some areas but still functioned & fit our needs. Beds were comfortable. The open concept was nice however there is a lip on the floor between the dining and kitchen which is a trip hazard. Only one pot cover for all of the pots for the stove. Owners provided coffee; nice touch! Beautiful deck and back area. Overall we enjoyed the stay and it mostly covered our needs. Found it to be quiet and relaxing which is the point!
