We had a wonderful stay! The property was clean, welcoming, and very comfortable for the five adults in our group. Everything was easily accessible, and the space had that comfortable, home-away-from-home feeling that made our stay even better.We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again. We look forward to coming back!

We loved the House and the extra set provided. Great location. Would’ve been nice to see the lake from the patio all we were out enjoying it. A little trimming down by the docks would’ve been nice. In great communication with the owner was greatly appreciated.‼

Amazing VRBO property for our girls’ trip with two of my lifelong best friends!! It had everything we needed, wanted and more. It was so comfortable and we were so impressed with whomever did the decorating for this home. Positive sayings everywhere you look. Condiments in the fridge. Coffee for the Keurig too. Games. Incredible outdoor area. We had such a great time and are talking about coming back again next year!!

Great stay!

Enjoyed a girls weekend at the house- great setup with enough beds, and beautiful lake scenery. Living room is lovely for relaxing. We could have used a bit more in the kitchen (large utensils, baking sheet, pans)… but minor detail that didn’t change a great stay! Recommend!

Straight out of a magazine!

Beautiful place. Serene backyard. Wonderful experience all around! The lake itself had some odd rules so I’d suggest researching that if you plan on boating or swimming.
