Wonderful property right on the lake.The owner thought of all the amenities- plenty of towels for bath and lake, all bathroom supplies and paper products, fully stocked kitchen equipment with spice rack. Beds were very comfortable. If I were to change anything it would be a larger grill and outdoor table.

Absolute gem of a house! By far one of our best family vacation rentals, the pictures do not do it justice. Plenty of space with every amenity and kitchen supply you would ever need. We loved afternoons swimming off the dock and evenings on the deck.

Beautiful house, spotlessly clean, right on the lake. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Fishing off the dock was great. Kitchen has just about every cooking tool that you could need. Couldn’t have wished for a better place to stay for our daughters graduation.
