Beautiful home on the inside with amazing view!

Absolutely love the house on the inside and such an amazing kitchen. Very clean on the inside. The only negative would be outside. The deck needs improvement as well as the steps leading down to the water. The dock is absolutely perfect! Easy check-in and easy checkout.

Excellent for living the lake life!

This house was perfect for our family get-away with friends. It was exactly as described, check in was easy & Laura was very quick to respond to all messages - before & during our stay. This house was probably the cleanest rental I've ever stayed in. Plenty of towels, soap, toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher tablets, etc. The location on the lake (in a little cove) gave us calm waters and a natural limit for the kids to kayak. Like any house, there's a few quirky features but nothing that detracts from the quality.
