Summary: The kitchen is on the bottom floor and is a great set up for large groups. There is a large seating area in the basement . The lake view was wonderful and the weather this weekend could not have been better. I would recommend shopping in town before arriving if wanting a larger selection of items. The bathrooms did not have shower soap or body wash, but the host was very responsive and brought those items over. Some of the furniture and cushions inside and outside need to be replaced/updated, but the ambience of the place was so great. It dates back to circa 1900 so it was very charming with lots of character. This was perfect for all of us. We had 5 couples and there were still beds and bedrooms to spare!
