Great Family Time
This is a great location ... not far from the ski slopes, and on a very cool lake. Obviously at this time of the year, we did not get use of the water "toys", or the frozen lake. Rather, since this was a family vacation which included grandparents down to a 14 month old, we spent a lot of time simply enjoying one another ... playing games that we had taken with us, nice dinners around the very adequate kitchen table, waking daily to the smell of bacon, eggs, sausage and/or pancakes! We did take out dinner on New Years Eve from The Jubiliee which was absolutely delicious and very reasonable. And amazingly, the TV was never even turned on!!
But know in advance that this home needs some love. Upon arrival we made the property management company aware of the living room furniture that is on its last leg to the point that we feared breaking the recliners and falling through the sleep sofa. Curtain rods fell off the windows (which we just left down), the wood veneer on the downstairs door is coming off to the point that it hindered opening and shutting the door. With our first load of laundry, the tub filled about and was about to overflow; fortunately the repair man was their replacing all the burnt out exterior lightbulbs and checking out the living room swivel/recliners. Fortunately it was just a sock (from previous guests) that had clogged the drain. We had found the matching sock tucked inside one of the recliners which we ultimately just through into the fireplace that we so enjoyed during our stay. Firewood is not provided, so my husband overbought and had a 1/2 cord delivered. The next guests will have a lot of firewood to enjoy, as the fireplace is a major highlight of this home! The home is well equipped with everything you might need in the kitchen, and it was nice that sheets and towels were provided. Our teenagers really enjoyed the "game" room on the first floor -- it has a really comfy sectional sofa (the most comfy seating in the house), an electric fireplace, and full bath. The foosball table was enjoyed, but the air hockey table in the garage was not usable and is just another item that needs attention as it is too wobbly/unstable to safely use. There are plenty of books, and also games. However, most of the games are in disrepair, missing pieces, etc., so if you have little ones I'd recommend bringing your own.
