    My family and I felt right at home as soon as we walked through the door. At first, I was concerned that having three floors might take away from quality time together, but that wasn’t the case at all. The kitchen is a beautiful gathering space that flows right into the living room, and the views are so incredible they almost make it feel like you’re outdoors. We especially loved the kitchen, the decks, the water views, the master suite bathroom, and the washer that requires zero detergent—such a nice bonus. We weren’t able to enjoy the outdoor space much due to windy, stormy weather on the lake, but the decks themselves looked amazing. Also, if you’re familiar with big lake living, you know the wind can be no joke—on windy days, you’ll definitely feel it when you’re outside.

    House has deferred maintenance that create issues for enjoyable stay. From mice in kitchen to indoor waterfalls during rain.

    Hilary’s place is a great for gatherings. It’s spacious with great gathering areas. But, if you’re looking to be joyful out loud and past 10 pm at night, this is not the place for your gathering. And, there is a property that is connected to this one, and if there’s another group staying there, it’s kinda creepy and weird. My family, friends and I have stayed in Airbnbs all over the world, and I have never been surveilled the way we were at Hilary’s house; it is way over the top and crosses so many boundaries. We received a noise complaint while we were there which again is why I say this is not the place for you if you plan on having the number of people that Hilary’s place accommodates, unless you’re having a Tibetan retreat.
