Family vacation
Loved how family friendly this property is. I especially loved that there are gates to keep the kids away from the water if you are busy grilling or have to make a quick trip up the stairs to the house. The concrete platform at the very bottom is awesome to take your lawn chair and fish. LOTS OF FISH! The house can use a little TLC but for our short stay it was perfect. Had everything we needed to cook all our meals. The AC is WONDERFUL! The cable isn’t the best, only cartoon network was available for the kids but we had our kids outside most of the time so they didn’t really care to watch tv. I do suggest if you have littles to pack them a life vest. The dam opens in the evening and the water runs at a pretty high speed. We enjoyed our stay so much we are already planning our next trip to this house. The outside of the property is what we fell in love with! So much room for activities lol. Lastly, communication with the property manager is excellent! We had a minor hiccup on arrival but it was fixed fairly quickly. We also needed more propane to grill out and they brought it to us right away. They were really good at checking in on us to make sure we weren’t in need of anything else. If you want to relax, fish and cook out then book this house!

Water
River behind the house runs from 4pm to 10pm. The dam is opened and the water is moving at a rate that you can't swim in. Also there is no wifi. The water in the house has a bad smell to it.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay at your lake home for the Christmas Holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet. Just what we needed to get away from the busy city life. We spent most of our time relaxing on the incredible patio and just taking in the view and the sight and sounds of the ducks and geese flying in. It was early to rise to watch the sun come up and drink our coffee on the patio. Our evenings were spent on the patio watching the sun set. Gorgeous. Our dog had a blast being able to run around freely in the fenced yard. Again, thank you.

Awesome weekend on the river!
Great place to stay. Clean, well stocked kitchen, bath towels and beach towels. Great washer and dryer and the water area is fantastic. Kayaks were an added pleasure. Dish TV and we have ATT and had WiFi and service most of the time. Water with rocks keeps down the fast watercraft and made it nice for this holiday weekend to be able to enjoy the kayaks and swim without getting run over. Will definately stay again!

Enjoyed the kayaks. Caught a few fish. Brought our own drinking water - previous comments correct about tap water smelling/tasting odd. Received info needed for check in day of , but attempts to contact property manager with questions earlier in the week were unsuccessful. Overall great place. Would return.

Better Properties for less
For the cost of this property you can definitely find a better place. If you have a dog then this is your place, otherwise keep looking. No WiFi in 2020! Don't plan to work or go to school with your change of scenery. Upon entry you notice a lot of broken old furniture. There is a film over the floor and surfaces, I assume from the lake, but the "deep" cleaning they provide should take care of it. The AC does blow hard and cold so that is a plus. As stated previously, the dishes and cookware are awful. They are gritty and there aren't many of them. Bring your own paper plates and cups. If you are coffee drinkers you'll need your own hot cups too (they only have 3), and you might want to bring some kitchen towels. I had a hard time finding cookware, pots, pans and bowls. The grill is nice and clean and has a full tank but the starter is broken and there isn't a lighter. The outside furniture is rusted and old as well. Some of it is broken so be careful. They do provide 4 beach towels. Be advised, if you are "older" or have very small children, the rocks in the lake can be tricky. Not the fault of the owners.

Perfect spot
Perfect for a weekend getaway! Right in front of the water. House had everything we needed from dishes to washer and dryer to kayaks and floats for the water. The ONLY downside was that there was No WiFi!!! Granted we did not go to be on our phones but It would have been nice to have it available and our phones had really poor service in that location. Over all we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.
