We had an amazing week staying with our friends. The house was outstanding, with beautiful views, and a great location on the lake. We were so grateful that our dogs were welcomed. Very well stocked with everything you could possibly need, and very spacious. Everyone had plenty of space for themselves, and plenty of room for us to gather after a fun day on the lake. We had 2 boats and 2 jet skis, the dock was a little crowded! Parking was a little tricky with 3-trucks w/trailers and another vehicle. The hosts are very mindful of you from the beginning to the end of your stay.

Families gathering for USC graduation

This home was perfect for our 5 families to gather so we could celebrate our children’s graduations from USC. The home was beautiful. The layout was perfect. The view to the lake and the enormous back porch were amazing! So many places to sit and enjoy each other and the view. We are all hoping to return one day. Thank you to the owners for the thought they put into this home and for sharing it with us.

Cozy home for family bonding!

The home was well equipped with everything we needed and more to spend quality time gathering with family - both inside and outside the home in the spacious backyard and patio areas. Thank you to the Nykamp family for not just opening their home, but ensuring all amenities were well stocked so we didn’t have to worry about anything beyond our basic needs and enjoying each other. I also appreciate their responsiveness when contacted about anything regarding the home.
