Beautiful place but some major issues
The house is gorgeous, the kids loved the rooms and the resort facilities. I would easily have given a 4 or even a 5 star overall rating if it wasn’t for the following:
1. Before booking I noticed a number of reviews mentioning the fridge not working properly. I made an enquiry about it was told there was no issue. When we got there however we quickly discovered the fridge was basically room temperature, and the freezer was only cold enough to store milk, drinks (we stored icecream and it all melted). This was really frustrating and meant we had to eat out every day/night as we couldn’t buy ingredients to cook without a functioning fridge to store them in. To their credit Lakeshores did offer to try and get a technician to look at it during our stay, but I declined as we were in and out of the property and clearly the fridge has had this issue for quite a while and probably will only be resolved by being completely replaced. The fridge also had a strong odour coming from it - sort of like onion or body odour. I strongly suggest the owner replaces that fridge, and I would suggest potential tenants avoid booking the property until the fridge is replaced.
2. The stove top only had one burner working, and this one would sometimes turn off in the middle of a cook.
A couple of smaller, less critical issues which I include for feedback for the owner:
1. The clothes dryer is new and functioning, but it seems that a previous tenant may have dried some clothes that had been soaked in lake water as it had a persistent “fishy” odour which could be smelt on the clothes/towels that we dried in it. The odour was not strong, but it was definitely there. I believe this can easily be solved.
4. Some lightbulbs need replacing in a few areas of the house.
Other than this, it was a wonderful property that we would return to in a heartbeat and would recommend to others if it wasn’t for the issues mentioned above. Hope the owner takes the feedback on board and replaces that fridge, and fixes the stove as these are the two main issues.
