Decent, but not great
The hosts were very nice, and allowed us to check in early. However, there were a number of problems with our stay. First of all, the beds were all terrible. The queen bed felt like it had been used for a number of years - very little support, and difficult to sleep. The twin beds were even less comfortable. 3 nights with very little sleep is no fun. Also, neither the upstairs nor the downstairs had any really comfortable furniture. The downstairs in particular only had a love seat and 2 stand alone padded chairs - not really conducive to sitting with a family and earring TV for any amount of time. Furthermore, whenever the AC was on, there was an extremely loud intermittent rattling noise that was only made tolerable by a loud dehumidifier in the basement. Additionally, we were told the lake was "swimable," but the entire area all around the house's dock was a swamp, and would've been disgusting and dangerous for a child. Finally, the listing said there was a hot tub, but it turned out to be a "spa-style" tub with no actual spa jets. So basically just a bigger tub than normal with handles.
On the plus side, it was an overall beautiful property, especially the lake. We were able to see what we thought were some herons fishing for food, and canoeing was fun as well (once you got out of the swampy area). The house itself appeared to be pretty well maintained, with a number of nice features, and the hosts were very generous with supplies - plenty of bug repellant, TP, etc.
