Brenda was very attentive pre-trip, and the location is great. But there was hardly enough water for 1x 5-min warm shower, never mind 2 back to back. The A/C unit decided to work sometimes, and sometimes decided not too. And the screen on the door was so shot, bugs kept finding their way in if we left the door open and screen shut (which was not just an inconvenience, but a problem since the A/C was shotty).
Cheaply furnished accomocadations on the surface isn't SO bad so long as you are paying for the property on the outside. The property was beautiful and perfectly located for sure. But the star of the outdoor space is the lake of course, and this too was poorly kept up. Just in our little area, I found a piece of broken glass, stepped on a sharp piece of fake flooring, cutting my foot, and found a massive 4ft x 6ft section of rusted chain link fence, no more than 5 yards to the right of the paddle boat (right where the kids and adults play in the water!). This fence had clearly been here for years, as it was so rusted that it was breaking every time I tried to clean it up. If our daughter had stepped on any of this, we would have been in big trouble.
I left this exact review, in private, for Brenda, but her response was just that we should have let them know and they would have done something about it. Except for the A/C unit, these are all things that should have been taken care of before somebody pays to stay at your place, not having to deal with the trouble while on their short vacation. I'd rate 3-stars but the response from Brenda on my concerns was so canned and un-emotional, that I can only rate 2 stars.
Great location, kind people, but a large lack of effort in upkeep on both the accommodations and the property which leads to a less than pleasant stay.
