Liked: Check-in, communication, location
I really liked the home. It was mostly remodeled and clean. The house was packed with tons of activities to keep us busy. We loved the pickleball and basketball court. I would stay here again, but be aware I would NOT consider this a lake house. The lake is empty and the photos do not show this, nor did communication with the owner include this. Since this was a major part of why we booked the place we were definitely disappointed. All in all the positives outweigh the negatives but wanted to share nonetheless.

Great almost lake house

This was a great stay and the owners were great on communication and requests. The location was super secluded and quiet but still had enough stores and restaurants around in case you needed anything. They supply plenty of games and activities to do so you will never be bored!I only took 1 star off for accuracy of listing because of what qualified as a "Bedroom". Maybe legally it is but the bunk room and the other queen bed that's not obviously a bedroom in the pictures are basically closet-sized in the back with window units. Regardless, we were more than happy to stay in them but if you go in the winter planning to use both of them, bring a heater. They have one plug in heater and those 2 rooms don't warm up like the rest of the house. Also, the big TV in the bedroom is artifacting on the right side.All in all, we definitely enjoyed our time and this is a great place to stay. We would definitely consider booking this place again.
