8/10 Good

Could have been great but needs attention to a number of details we usually take for granted
We had an overall good stay but with some annoyances that kept us grumbling. Most are easily fixable, one not so much.
The good:
- Lots of space and lots of light
- a bathroom on each floor with one recently renovated
- Well kept and clean
- beds were comfortable
- Good air conditioning on two floors
- beautiful views of the lake and great access to the lake
- use of a stand up paddle board
The not so good details that were lacking:
- the septic system drains into the back yard and makes it muddy, even on clear days. It doesn't smell but going between the dock and the swimming area requires a muddy walk at all times
- no towel racks or hooks anywhere in any of the three bathrooms
- many bedroom closets are unusable. Some required wrestling with the bi-fold doors to get them opened and closed because they were installed incorrectly. The closet in the upstairs bedroom had one door completely off, sitting to the side. In the same closet several of the shelves collapsed if we put anything on them. There were also no hangers in any of the closets.
- The sliding bedroom door in the upstairs bedroom made a lot of noise, waking up anyone sleeping. It also would get stuck and either prevent us from getting in or getting out for a minute while we fiddled with it.
- The three lower level (i.e. basement that opens out on the back yard) bedrooms were humid and warm. Air conditioning didn't really make it down there and their were no de-humidifiers.
