Overall Great Stay

We took a friend trip and stayed here and it was a great experience. The water was a yellow tint but we assumed maybe it was well water since the property is pretty far out. So that was the only strange thing. Beds were comfortable, the layout of the house was perfect for a large group and the fire pit was incredible at sunrise. Really great space and close to Greeter Falls!

The house was lovely and we had a nice visit. We do however have a few suggestions!Draperies on windows would be great, nothing like being woken up at sunrise while on vacation! Bathrooms had no window coverings either leaving no privacy as was visible from outside...Top bunkbed had no railing making it unusable for children of which we had 3. For safety reasons this needs to be addressed.Signage could be improved as it was small and covered by overgrown grass. The existing signage was hard to see in the day and impossible at night!
