Overall wonderful
We have rented many lake properties through the years because of our kids sports schedules. I have to say our stay here was one of the best, to fit our needs. The house is very clean and property well maintained. It is one of the best stocked kitchens we have been in. And tons of linen/towels. There were no issues with water pressure if multiple people were showering and dishwasher/laundry running. Septic system worked well, no soggy back yard. Backyard fenced for the dogs so they could not access the lake if you didnt want them too. If you have a water dog, there are no good steps for them get out of the lake. We brought our boat, parked at the top of driveway and had no issues. Boat ramp easy to access and there is a old dock to tie up if needed. We fished, swam, kayaked and tubed. We lucked out having cloudy weather so the uncovered dock wasn't a big deal. Tina responded quickly to any questions or needs!! We would definitely stay again!

Fantastic Lakehouse
We had a great stay at Tina's lakehouse. The house was very clean and very spacious. She had a lot of little extras that you might not see at other short term rentals. There were ample water toys in the shed and the propery was great. We stayed with out dog and he loved thw fenced in backyard. We would definitely stay again.

Memorial Weekend '24
The house was very modern and well stocked with all of the little everyday needs, even for our 4 legged furry family members. Examples: plenty of towels, lots of shampoo choices, doggy treats! (We could have used some extra trash bags for the kitchen, only had the one in the trash can - but, no worries, store nearby saved the day!) Neighborhood was quiet, yard was big. Only complaints were that there had been rainy weather and storms prior to our arrival....I'm assuming that is why the cable was inconsistent and difficult to get the televisions to operate properly and the yard needed mowing. Wish there were some type of quaint local shops nearby rather than feeling like we were just in a country neighborhood. There were the regular fast food spots down the road (10-15 minutes) but when we travel we like to experience the local culture and cuisine. Overall, we had a great time and made new memories. Would definitely stay here again. THANK YOU

Decent house, not boat friendly
I booked this house because it had a boat dock and lift. The pictures depict a covered boat dock with a lift. The dock is not covered and the lift doesn’t work. In fact, the lift is in the way, making the boat dock unusable for a boat. The listing discussed renters can have the boat dock, without mentioning that renters can’t use the lift. I was unaware that the owners do not want renters to park their boat in the dock and use the lift. When I texted them about it, they said we could tie up to the side of the dock, which is not doable with any wind. This dock is located on the main lake without protection from wind and waves. It was very dangerous to try and tie up next to the dock without the ability to tie it inside the dock or lift up on the boat lift. Furthermore, the community boat ramp has a small pier that doesn’t have any cleats or anywhere to tie up to, which made it very difficult for one person to manage. There is no shore to pull up to, and no cleats to tie to. The lake was rough and made it difficult. This is why it was impactful to not have use of the boat dock and lift. This should have been disclosed on the listing and not a surprise after the fact. I would not have rented this house. The driveway is long and downhill with turns. It is not boat and boat trailer friendly. There was no outside outlet to plug in my boat and charge it. This rental was a waste of time and money for us. More trouble than it was worth.

Stellar rental experience!
What a wonderful rental! Simply a beautifully designed get-away, and Tina is an outstanding communicator and host. We stay in vrbo's frequently, and this is among our top stays, and the cleanest ever. As an example, even the spice containers, usually grimy in most rental kitchen cabinets, are spotless, and not just a mess of random jars renters have left. The large picture windows are so spotless, you might think there's no glass! Where does one find such a cleaning staff? Tina has put together a well planned home -- everything you could need is at your fingertips, plus a professional-caliber palette of colors and patterns based on an understated lake theme. The view of the shimmering lake is spectacular, and available from the living, dining and kitchen. Add to that a really cozy and comfortable patio, a fantastic grill, well-maintained boat dock, colorful kayaks, and lots of water sport paraphernalia. My husband caught fish right off of the dock! And, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that our sweet dog was welcomed like a king by the unexpected array of toys, treats, water bowl and even a bed! He enjoyed laying his head on the wide windowsills while watching squirrels. As if that's not enough, a fenced in yard was so appreciated! (When you love a dog, you know what I mean!) Lastly, this rental affords immense tranquility for your soul. Just sounds of birds and the water lapping on the dock -- you won't want/need your phone. Doesn’t get any better. Thank you, Tina!

Exactly as advertised
We stayed here for a long weekend in October. The house was exactly as advertised. It was clean and well-kept, with more than enough room and supplies for our small family. The neighborhood was quiet, and the fenced yard was perfect for our dog. The host was quick to respond. The only complaint is that the lake was too cold for swimming! We would definitely stay here again.
