Overall it was nice. We went for a fall weekend girls weekend. The host communicated well. The view was very pretty. On Sunday afternoon, the restaurant down the lake was playing very loud music which made it difficult to sit out on the deck and enjoy the water/conversation.

Lake house worked perfectly for my family. Enough room for 10 people easily. Basement apartment was a bit weird being away from up stairs. Did many stairs this trip to the main level. Beach area was a great area to hang out with family and catchup.

Perfect spot

Exactly what we needed! Great location and good place for families. We had 6 adults and two kids and plenty of space. We rented a boat and a jet ski. The property was clean and had everything needed in the kitchen. The host was responsive to questions. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great multiple family lake weekend

Loved the separate area for the teens downstairs. Great gentle slope to the boat dock and the fire pit was nice to relax at by the water in the evening.

Cute and relaxing!

This place was perfect for our girl getaway! The house is adorable, clean and convenient! Our favorite part was the little beach! Is was awesome to be able to walk in and out and it was just fun! The fire pit area was also a treat! (Even though it was way too hot for a fire :) Perfect vibe!
