Aspetos positivos: Limpeza, check-in, comunicação, localização e exatidão do anúncio
Dated home still definitely worth a rent
Pros:
- LOVELY VIEW from the living area, the deck, and the sunroom
- great dock for sitting with your feet in the lake
- big dining room table easily seats 8 for eating and playing games
- plenty of dishes and pots/pans for making meals or bringing in take-out
- gas grill was ready for use and right on the deck for quick access to the kitchen
- good proximity to Ludington but a very isolated feel as you really can't tell you have neighbors
- multiple bedrooms for many guests (my 4 teen/adult kids + 2 of their significant others joined me)
- affordable for the area considering the size and lakefront location
- Wi-Fi that was good enough for me to do some work and kids to do some homework but NOT good enough to stream videos for a movie night, and that is a positive because we played more board, dice, and card games instead!
Cons:
- no AC so house was musty and HOT at check-in, but this should not be a deal breaker as once the house is opened up COMPLETELY and fans are placed strategically, it was actually quite pleasant until...
- torn/missing/gaps in screens allowed in bugs, especially at night
- the bunk bed room is about the size of walk-in closet and the 5th bedroom is actually a basement den with a sleeper sofa (we didn't end up using this room, so I can't comment on the quality of the bed; just noting that I thought it was 5 bedrooms and didn't read the fine print about it being a sleeper sofa)
- kitchen appliances are old (exposed wiring in one stove plate, oven requires pliers to use, microwave seems not to seal, dishwasher isn't screwed into counter and no longer has/never had springs to hold the door cracked if you just use it as a place to dry dishes as we did)
- the driveway is narrow and steep and if you aren't careful you will hit the roof of the shed on your way in; there is adequate parking but it's like a logic puzzle to figure out how to park multiple cars and be able to get back out as reversing out is NOT an option; you can park a car or two at the top of the hill though
- deck ladder was really not useable because of all the buildup on it; would be better if it were further down the dock away from the wall where slime builds up naturally
The list of cons seems long, and it is clearly an older home without many updates. However, it is a neat house with lots of amazing built-ins and it was fun to explore. We would DEFINITELY stay here again even though the house could use some maintenance and TLC.
