The host was quick to respond to our needs and very accommodating. The property itself had plenty of room for our large group and was located right on the water. We had access to a large boat dock and kayaks which were a lot of fun. We were surprised to find even more space than shown in the pictures. However, this house definitely needs updates/repairs. The couches in the main living room were all broken with the back smashed out of them. Most of the furniture is pretty banged up. There were a lot of spiders (it’s a lake house though so we kind of expected that). The place was clean for the most part. All in all, we are happy with our stay and enjoyed having plenty of room, but have definitely stayed at nicer houses at this price point.

Plenty of room and Great Lake access

18 adults and 1 baby stayed for 4 nights in this very roomy house with perfect access to the lake. Except for the carpeting on the stairs (which needs replaced) the place was very clean. More bath towels during the humid months would be beneficial, but overall we had a great family Christmas in July and would absolutely rent this property again

They have definitely fixed it up! Fresh paint and new curtains! We rent the top and bottom and really enjoy this place. Perfect for big family gatherings.

Although we were a little disappointed with the upkeep of the yard/ landscaping and the cleanliness of certain areas in the house , we all had an amazing time . It was the perfect set up having both the upper & lower units for a large family / friends with both an older and younger age group .
