Lake view is beautiful. Neighbors are friendly but not invasive. Property is very clean. We did encounter some small spiders and webs but that’s lake life. We enjoyed taking out the kayaks. It was very easy to get into them in the shallow water with a small rocky area.

GREAT LAKE VIEW

Enjoyed our stayed. Location, views, wildlife and firepit are great. Don't recommend upstairs bedroom for elderly or young child, has steep spiral staircase and home has only one shower which is very small in lower bedroom. But would overall recommend and stay again.

Wonderful weekend stay

The property was great and Vickey was very responsive to any questions we had. Our kids enjoyed swimming in the lake, playing on the lily pad, and using cicadas as bait for fishing. House was comfortable and well stocked. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this property!
