We had an amazing time and made memories that will last a lifetime! The property is beautiful, plenty of room for the whole family and it's on the lake. Management was great in assisting us with all of our requests, last minutes, and questions. We will rent again the next time we are in town.

This was a great stay from start to finish. The home was clean, well-maintained, and very private, which made it easy to relax and feel comfortable. It’s clear the host paid attention to the little details that really make a difference—everything just made sense and was exactly where you’d expect it to be.The house was well stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials like pots, pans, and coffee to thoughtful extras like care products. The kitchen itself was beautiful and made it easy to cook and spend time together.Our family especially appreciated how much there was for the kids to do at the house—it kept them entertained and made the stay even more enjoyable for everyone.Check-in and check-out were both simple and hassle-free, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely stay here again.Looking forward to coming back!

House was not what we expected . We stayed over the 4th of July weekend and it was hot. The HVAC was not sufficient to cool the home during the day. It finally did get cool first thing in the AM but could not keep the home cool. The fridge upstairs had dirty drawers, the basement fridge had rust on the exterior of the door. The dock was sub-par and had rusted nails hanging off a strip entering the lake that was a hazard. There was rotten deck furniture on the dock. Steps to lake are not illuminated as advertised and were in need of repair. Guest beds were kids beds and not suitable for adults, mattress were uncomfortable and one of our guests left early due to back issues while sleeping. Overall just not a quality house I would choose again. On a positive note the location on the lake is great, pets were allowed and the management was responsive.
