I figured this would be the perfect way to end my summer adventure.
Turns out it wasn't, but not really for any reasons other than personal. Despite the sad news I received, I did tell my sister I was pregnant while I was there. So maybe it balanced out.
If you were following me while I was on this fandango last summer, this is the place where I planned to do all this blogging to catch up as I relaxed in a floating house. Only problem was they said they had internet, but they didn't. In their defense, they tried to fix it... all day... but to no avail. Pretty frustrating. Between that and cool, cloudy weather it wasn't ideal. That and the price tag! Whoa!
They have a rate schedule based on high and low seasons so there are affordable dates if you plan ahead (plan ahead... plan ahead... yeeeaahhh, now what is that again?) and they compromised that I could not do the three night minimum, but could do two. Never hurts to ask.
You are paying for a very unique, swanky, retro lake house that floats in a basically private cove. I did not go in the height of summer; I imagine it can get crazy like anywhere else, but this time was peaceful and quiet. They have fun vintage things like an original wash-o-matic scrubby thing that attaches to the sink complete with the original magazine ad for it from the '50s that says it's so much fun even your husband will help with the dishes. I think we all took turns using it. It will sleep up to 14 if the 14 of you are very, very close friends. Small beds, several to a room, will accommodate that many, but do you want to?! If you don't it's what drives up the cost so if you choose to only sleep one couple to a room, you're down to dividing it by three. Just an observation.
I'll tell you what may be worth the price of admission though is the rope swing off the top balcony. If you are into that sort of thing. Which I am not, but I do enjoy watching. Kinda like karaoke.
Oh thank gawd karaoke wasn't on the list...
