Les points faibles : Propreté
Could have been better, avoid the hot months
We had a few major issues with this place:
1. Overall Cleanliness. There were cobwebs in many reachable places with tons of caught bugs and happy spiders. We cleaned up most of them on our day of arrival, but they should have been cleaned well in advance of our stay. The patio was covered in pollen, which we had to wash away. We had to mop our kitchen floors because they were dirty. The carpet had visible stains. We vacuumed after a few days and pulled up more dust than I'd expect if it were recently cleaned. Outside around and below the deck was some garbage, including a cigarette butt.
2. Overall upkeep of furnishings and amenities. Material on one of the dining room chairs was visibly tattered and falling off the bottom. One of the recliners had a missing foam insulation in one of the arms (not visible in the posting photos). The carpet was bunching in places. The dish washer had a missing button, missing wheels on the bottom rack, and the door would dangerously fall on its own if not completely closed. There was a large crack in the bottom bedroom with two beds, partly covered by a picture. In the same room, there is visible water damage below the window, which also happens to be at the head of the single bed. The queen bed in the bottom bedroom with two beds sags in the middle and was very uncomfortable for my wife and I.
3. Ventilation. We stayed for a week at the beginning of August with temperatures in the 80s and the house got unbearably hot during the day. We opened all the windows and doors and turned on all the fans they provided and still couldn't cool the house. Luckily the air quality was "good" enough (100-150 AQI) with the nearby fires that we spent most of our time at the Lake, but if the air quality was worse, I'm not sure what we would have done, but staying inside with the windows shut would have been a none starter.
4. No HOA amenities. For the $$$$ we paid for 7 days, we should have had access to at least the beach, if not the pool. No clear indication that the cost was reduced for previously provided amenities at Dollar Point.
5. Slow Wifi. My wife and I both had to take video calls and encountered many issues trying to maintain a connection. Only one person could be on, and we had to disconnect all other devices.
On the positive side, the place has an open layout and good location. The hot tub is great, and the bathrooms are nice. It just needs some TLC and $15-20k of improvements.
