Summary: Pros:1) Location could only be better if it was directly on the lake instead of across the street. Also, Alden is a very cute town with many very kind people, a convenient market and some decent restaurants/cafes.2) Plenty of space for our two families (six people and one dog total)3) Beautiful sunset view of the lake from the front porch, the expansive lawn, the very large south facing window seat, or the balcony off the upstairs master suite.4) Historic home has interesting architecture and nice gardens5) Kayaks included6) Well provisioned with everything you might need (dishes, cookware, games, fire pit, garbage bags) and plenty that you probably don't (see clutter below)7) Keyless entry through front door or garage8) Netflix, Disney+, and other streaming services on TVs without having to log in to your personal accounts.Cons:1) Beds were uncomfortable, hot, lumpy sacks that might as well have been original to the house2) Décor is true to the pictures, tacky3) House very cluttered (old food, messy piles of cleaning supplies in laundry area and in cupboards, dog food on shelves and in cupboards, old ruined decks of cards, papers, etc). Dishes, cookware, flatware, and drinkware is (overly?) abundant but mismatched and scattered throughout all of the cupboards making it sometimes difficult to find what you need.4) Electric stove has two traditional burners and a built in grill (not griddle). I would have preferred a 4 burner stove to make cooking easier for the six of us. Also, there is no fume hood.Bottom line: we very much enjoyed our three night stay in spite of the terrible beds and the distracting décor and clutter.
