For a family vacation with 2 grandparents 2 daughters with families of teenage grandchildren this house was perfect. The huge front porch overlooking the lake was one of our favorite places. The large kitchen had all necessary items to cook meals. Swimming in the lake was a favorite for the teenagers.

The house is even nicer than the pictures. It has been updated since the pictures- new outside paint, new TV, couches, dining room table, kitchen setup etc. It even has 4 full baths. We had our family vacation there and we couldn't have been happier. We want to go back next year. It is across the street from the lake if you have little ones. There are 3 kayaks and a dock. We rented a pontoon boat from a marina and tied it up for the week and took it out multiple times. It is an amazing house. We highly recommend it.

This was our 2nd year staying in this beautiful home. Overall, an excellent vacation for our family. Communication with the host was excellent, the beds are comfortable. 2 minor concerns, new batteries were needed for a smoke alarm and were unavailable, and the kitchen knives need to be sharpened.

Great place to stay

We stayed here Labor Day weekend with a group of 12 people. The location is great and the house has lots of room inside and outside. The owner is working to update the house and it is evident throughout the house. They were very responsive to questions and we would definitely stay here again.

Great house!

6 of us retired ladies stayed for 2 nights to explore the area. It was a wonderful house for us all to stay. Lots of room for us to spread out if we wanted to, and plenty of space for us to do a puzzle and play cards at night. It was close to everything that we wanted to see. Easy to get to. The views out the front windows of the lake were fabulous!

Cool, quirky, large clean house, in a great location. Bring water shoes if you want to go in the lake. House needs a little TLC which the owner indicated they would address. My friends and family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The front porch is a great spot to hangout and was very popular with our group.
