Lots of room for our group of 8. We personally appreciated the fans in each room, whether ceiling or stand. The house was fully stocked, not only in kitchen but also bathrooms and outdoors.Would definitely stay here again if ever back up in the area and Amy always responded back to messages before our trip as well as while we were there.

Awesome cabin!

The location was great and the cabin itself was updated yet still had a cabin feeling to it! The kitchen area was perfect for cooking for large groups, the outdoors spaces were newly updated, and the front yard was perfect for lawn games. There is no shortage of activities around the area from golf to wine tasting.

Perfect getaway

Beautiful home. Crystal clear water. My only complaint is the bugs/mosquitoes. You can’t really enjoy the beautiful deck or the hammocks. Maybe if they sprayed? Either way so much to do in that area. Amazing host! Thank you we hope to be back.

Girls Trip - High School Friends

The house was very nice, well-maintained, and clean. It had a great open layout, so the 7 of us could be on the deck, in the sunroom, in the kitchen or living room and all be in on the conversations. Each day was in the 90s so we didn't use the outdoor grill or fire pit, although both were very nice. Loved sitting on the dock near the lake, as well as viewing the lake from most every window. It slept 7 comfortably, but could have slept 9.

Fantastic Lakeside Getaway

Enjoy your coffee in the morning while looking out the huge picture window as the sun rises across the lake. It’s like you are on an ocean liner with unobstructed views of the water. Plenty of living space for entertaining. Comfortable beds. Large, flat front yard for entertaining or just letting the kids run around. Head down to the lake for a beautiful sunset and roast some smores in the fire pit. Enormous dock to sunbathe or have some fun in the lake. We had a wonderful time ! Don’t forget the host, Amy. She will respond right away if you need anything. You won’t be disappointed with this rental. It was fantastic.
