Summary: Overall, the property itself is spacious and nice. The location is great because the lake is down the road. We were with our families and kids and didn't feel cramped. But I do have a few things to note. The communication response time isn't within a timely manner which it should be since they say to msg them if we need anything. The main thing they missed on the listing is that they rent out the main level, which includes the grassy area, to other guests. Therefore, the sauna is also shared, so be aware. It is not specifically pointed out in the listing, and my kids were told to leave by someone when they were hanging out in the grass area, but the listing doesn't mention it's excluded. I did not like this at all, and my concern was not addressed. She said on the listing it says the sauna is for all guests which doesn't really mean anything. There was also loud construction every morning which disturbed our sleep. And there was some "plumbing issue" that came up on their sensor and we were told to not use any water for almost 2 hours on the last night of our stay which was pretty inconvenient when you are travelling with 6 kids. And the bbq stopped working the 2nd day. (but no answer when I msged about it)
