Wonderful

House was clean on the inside but the outside areas were very dirty (covered in pollen) that in my opinion should have been taken care of before our arrival. Pollen was no longer falling at the time of our stay. Spent my first hour at the house using a blower to get some of the pollen and leaves off of the porch so we could sit outside and unwind
House is beautiful. We had an issue the owner was very prompt. It would have been nice is there was hand soap in the soap dispenser instead of water and the blanket on the bed was soiled. Not necessary things you think to travel with.

The house was excellent the grounds water access were very good. It was a very enjoyable week even the weather contributes to an enjoyable time on the lake. It was peaceful we seas several bald eagles/ countless geese and ducks flying in and we enjoyed the lake since my Son brought his boat and was able to get around the lake. We would be interested in renting again same time next year, maybe extended stay.

My family and I enjoyed our week’s vacation. The boat ramp was wonderful for launching the kayaks we had hired, and the owners tandem kayak was an added bonus. The beds, pillows and linens were very comfortable.The views from the dock were lovely, and the ability to store drinks in the refrigerator there was good.The house is in a great location to various restaurants. We loved Haggerty’s and The Watersview.

Great property at a great location. We caught a lot of fish from the dock. The only issue is the AC unit is a little weak.

Everything was wonderful. The location and description of the property, was exactly what we expected. My only negative, was that there was cat urine odor, in the home. Nothing a glade candle didn’t take care of.

Great location and deep water! Inside of house was very clean and comfortable. Outside deck and dock could have used some cleaning (spider webs and some ants at the dock). A few rotted deck boards and some exposed screws were reported but immediately fixed by the owner).

Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed your family vacation and found everything you needed on the outdoor deck. We appreciate your stay and hope to welcome you back soon!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this house. We spent every day down on the dock and when it warmed up enough we were in the water. We had fun watching the swallows that next under the boat house zooming around. The house had everything we could possibly need. Be sure to check out two of the local eateries, Getting sauced in the city and Jenny Cakes. Cute places with really nice owners. It was a great week of relaxing.
