House was clean and as described. Bathroom needs a little attention - the shower head was very low and there is no liner so water would get all over the floor when we showered. There were a lot of towels provided however they were very thin.

Stayed there for two nights. Good communication upon arrival. Place was ok. Furniture in the kitchen and main bedroom bed were different and less comfortable than pictured on listing.Cleanliness was far from 5 stars. Pasta sauce spills on the floor and the stove were not pleasant to see. Had to clean in myself before using the kitchen.Just FYI you're sharing outdoor space and acces to water with other units .P.s. for miss bubbles maybe spent more than 45 min cleaning a unit specially after guests with pet dog !!!!

Best place ever

We loved cabin No 7. A bit on an expensive side, but spacious, nicely decorated and supplied with whatever you may need, from utensils and plates, paper products, to a Crock pot, even a strainer. We made our own food, stove and grill on premises. I highly recommend this complex and I will go back there for sure.

Perfect beach house

The house was beautiful, very clean, and offered a great view. It was perfect for our dogs and us, equipped with everything we needed. Communication was excellent, and entry was seamless. We made wonderful memories and look forward to returning.

A great Family time and accommodations.

Could come without bringing anything and have a quality stay and play on the lake (but lots of room for all you bring). Our third return and enjoyed the house as much as we did the first time. Plenty to do with the elementary grand girls, of course the short walk to ice cream is a hit. Phil & Anita Smith

Awesome, everything you need they had for you.

We had a family reunion rented out the whole Whitetail Family Resort. It was GREAT. The main house had everything you can imagine. The cabins were also equipped with everything they needed. Every cabin had their own picnic table and 2 chairs for outside, which you can take also to the firepit. Shuffleboard was a BIG hit. Kayaks. Check out their website. Definitely stay there again. Bonus: party store is walking distance. Has a hug selection of wine, beer & anything else you might need. Also, the take out food very good. Breakfast pizza and regular pizza đź‘Ť

Very nice place

The property and the house were very nice! The house was very clean and had everything that you could possibly need. The kitchen was stocked with everything and they had tons of appliances, paper towels, trash bags, Tupperware etc. The kids room was perfect and set up with games that we enjoyed. The dock and kayaks were great and we used them a ton. The only downside of the house was a moisture problem and it subsequently made every door hard to open. Something to keep in mind too is that it’s a community type type place that allows pets so if you aren’t friendly and social and don’t like dogs then it’s not the place for you. We met some very nice people and shared the fire pit with them every night and we enjoyed ourselves. Another negative was that the owner of the property was not very available via phone for questions, we saw him once in passing but at the beginning I couldn’t figure out which door we were supposed to go in and where the lockbox was and it was pouring rain and no answer on the phone. He never even called me back…so all I could think is we would be in trouble in an emergency. I think this should be fixed if you are going to rent out a place. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay and the whitetail cabins.
