Boat Dock - Lake Front - Hot Tub-Dog Friendly - Sleeps 7

Boat Dock - Lake Front - Hot Tub-Dog Friendly - Sleeps 7

8/10 Good
"Pros: 1. Great location, especially if you have a boat to use at the included dock. 2. Home was very clean. 3. Pet friendly 4. Perfect for a family get together with grand kids. Cons: 1. The back step leading into the kitchen is narrow and painted the same color as the attached deck area. There is no bright colored warning strip on the edge of this stair making it hard to see. I mis-stepped on it while carrying our things in/out of the house and tweaked my back. Other people in our party tripped also. At a minimum a brightly colored caution strip should be applied or better yet paint the entire step area a different color than the deck color to make it more visible. 2. The master bedroom bed sits on the floor at a very low height. A frame bringing it up to chair height would make it easier for getting into or out of bed. 3. Installing a blind in the large kitchen window,(which looks out into the parking area), would help to keep the sun out). 4. The deck seating area is a nice feature. Suggested improvements: The existing table is very wobbly and could use some attention/replacing. Installing a ceiling fan in this area would greatly improve the comfort level in the afternoon."

"A classic cabin vibe right on the lake in a nice big Cove. You can swim right off the dock, paddle board to a rock jump, canon to some fishing spots and swim over to a little dirt island. You can stroll into town for a nice dinner or have a cook out on the deck with fantastic views of the stars. We had 11 adults and that seems like the perfect number for everyone to rest comfortably. Easily fit 5 cars in the parking lot. Good vibes! Highly recommend."

"We had a wonderful time at this house! The views were exceptional and the house was spacious and had everything you would need for your stay. The host was very easy to work with and always responded immediately. It was very hot the week we stayed in Bass Lake, the highs were in the high 90's, so it could get a little hot in the bedrooms. But we figured out that as long as we closed all the windows and had the fans on during the day, it would be cool enough in the bedrooms."
