A great place to enjoy happy!!
The location was amazing. The paddle boards and kayaks were a huge hit and provided hours of fun for everyone.! Loved the sandy beach and fire pit. The steps were a challenge for this gramma, but the good fun far outweighed the challenge.

Exceeded expectations
This lakeside home is beautiful, appointed generously, and clearly well loved. Beds and bedding, linens, kitchen offerings - everything was very generous and appreciated. The views of the lake from an enclosed porch on a rainy day was lovely, with an open deck for the perfect weather days. A large hot tub was wonderful, the dock and all its offerings added to the fun. We hope to return soon!

Beautiful Home and View
My big family plus, my parents went for a few days and enjoyed every moment!! It is a lot of stairs, but that was expected for us! Everything they have to do down at the dock is amazing! The kids loved the kayaks and paddle boards! The hot tub was huge and fit everyone! Cannot wait to stay here again!

Great but not great
I would be careful with this property. First host doesn’t get back to you for days, no phone number only email. First night the grill had no propane emailed host about a backup…no response had to cook hot dogs and burgers in a pan. Not enough paper supplies. Had to go and buy paper towels and garbage bags. Then the ceiling started leaking in the kitchen from bathroom above it. Two weeks later and now they’re trying to get the security deposit! Unreal..

Great spot with a little beach!
This is a very nice property on the water. Suited our family well. The only downside is the fact that 3 of the bedrooms do not have windows.

Close, yet far away
Our family loved the house. It lacked only a few comforts and necessities, there were no throw blankets, kitchen towels and lights on the steep stairs going down to the lake. Overall, a fantastic time. Will be back soon. Thank you.
