We stayed two nights for my son's fishing tournament. The property was clean and right on the lake. After fishing all day, our anglers were able to come back to the house and relax. Great visit!

Overall it was okay. Some pictures were a little misleading vs the actual appearance in person. A few minor esthetics issues but overall spacious, nice outdoor area with fire pit, inside area for card games, etc. We enjoyed the stay.
There were brand new high end paddle boards my kids loved!! My kids were in the water the whole time! We took the kayaks out multiple times, and saw lots of fish and birds flying around the lake. The Adirondack chairs were nice to relax on at night or watch the kids in water. The house was nice and clean and fresh. Super comfy for our large group of 12. Had everything we needed, thank you we will be back!!
Great location that were very spacious. Perfect for a party or a summer lake getaway.
However, one of the beds listed ended up being an air mattress and the couch is included in the total number of beds. The couch does not pull out though. Not the deal breaker, but good to be aware. The front door code did not work.
Given the proximity to the lake, some roaches and bugs were seen in the sunroom and kitchen.
We rented the property for the April 8, 2024, eclipse, and it was a really great place to watch it. The weather cooperated, and everyone had a good time together. However, we had many issues with the house itself. Any 1 or 2 of them would not have been a big deal, but the list just kept growing. I can't recommend this house unless the owners address some of the many problems.
Here are the things we noted:
* Living room TV broken
* Drier tripped the breaker when we tried to use it
* Coffee maker broken
* Peeling linoleum and hole in the laundry room floor
* Too few dishes and silverware
* Sprayer arm missing from dishwasher--found it under the sink and put it back on
* Living room furniture stained and sleeper sofa worn out and unusable
* Grill rusted out and unusable
* Outdoor recreation equipment (kayaks, paddleboards, chairs, foosball, connect 4, Adirondack chairs, hammocks) dirty, worn, broken, and/or missing. We cleaned up what we could.
* Broken window in dining room, taped up instead of being repaired. Unsafe for kids.
* Broken chairs in dining room and deck.
* Tile falling off master bathroom shower and tub.
* Knob fell off in master shower when turned
* Burned out bulbs throughout
* TV remotes missing batteries
* Loose dogs roaming the neighborhood. While on a walk, saw a cyclist chased by 4 dogs. Scary.
* Out of date binder with contact info for previous owner.
It's a nice lake, and it wouldn't take too much work to make this a much nicer house.
Nice home on the lake. The house has everything you need. Great accomadations. Host communicated well and quickly. Back yard had a volleyball net with nice chairs under the trees. The lily pad and kayaks were fun out on the lake. Thanks for hosting our family weekend!
We had such an incredible stay at this lakefront home! From the moment we arrived, everything felt clean, bright, updated, and welcoming. The home has been beautifully refreshed with modern upgrades, stylish decor, and a fully updated kitchen with great appliances that made cooking and gathering easy and enjoyable.The outdoor setup truly made this place special. We spent our days kayaking, floating on the lilypad, swimming from the beach area, fishing off the private dock, and relaxing in the hammock with lake views. At night, the sunsets were absolutely stunning and the firepit area was the perfect place to unwind.The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, yet there was so much to do right at the property. It felt like the perfect balance of a relaxing retreat and a fun getaway. We made so many great memories here and would definitely book again!
Absolutely loved our stay at this lake house! The property was even better in person — beautifully updated, spotless, and so peaceful. The home felt fresh and modern with comfortable furnishings, updated finishes, and a gorgeous kitchen with new appliances that made it easy to cook and spend time together.The lakefront setup was amazing. We spent hours kayaking, floating on the lilypad, swimming, fishing off the dock, and relaxing in the hammock enjoying the view. The sunsets were breathtaking and the firepit area made evenings feel so cozy and relaxing.The neighborhood was quiet and friendly, and the entire property felt like the perfect escape from the city. It was ideal for both relaxing and having fun outdoors. You can tell the owners really care about creating a great experience for guests. We would definitely come back again!
Came here for a quick get away with my 5 and 7 year old boys. Great for fishing and getting right in the water. Kayaks and paddle boards were a blast, had a few falls lol! Great place to stay! Hopefully will be able to make it back sometime.
My friends and I came for a couple night getaway to unwind and relax. Was perfect. Home was spacious, big yard, and access right to the water. Nice firepit for beers, smores. Grilled steaks out back. Will be back!
House was super spacious and well maintained. Perfect for our family trip. House was super cute and nicely decorated. We lucked out with nice weather and hung out on the back patio quite a bit and built a fire in the fire pit. We will be back for our next family gathering!!
After a quick initial cleaning, this was the perfect house for my group of ladies. Plenty of beds with cute decor! We enjoyed the fire pit and kayaks. I’ll bring the boys back another day.
