Hey John, thanks for the feedback. We didn't know the water pressure was an issue, but we are going to look into that ASAP! Thanks & we hope you will be back!
The home is beautiful and has everything you need for a relaxing weekend away with family or friends. The views are stunning, and all of the rooms made for a comfortable and fun stay. The position on the lake itself is extraordinary, and the communication prior and throughout the stay was reliable, quick, and helpful. Would absolutely go back.
Great Property just as described in the listing if not better. Wonderful gathering spaces for big groups and a great fully stocked kitchen for those big meals. The Fire Pit was a huge hit!
This house was perfect for our group of 13 adults and 8 children. There was plenty of space for all to have their own space and to hang out in a group. We used the kayaks, fire pit, game room and the hot tub. Such a great house and view!!
Fantastic house in a beautiful location. Great communication through the whole process. Enough bedrooms for the size of our group. Easily reachable from the airport. Enjoyed some time at the fire pit and even enjoyed some team building with some friendly competition on the arcade games and shuffleboard.

We had family together for a 60th birthday celebration and the house was a perfect fit. We had 20 in our group. From the kids to the adults there was something for everyone.

Thank you, Lee! We're so glad the house was the perfect fit for your family celebration. It’s great to hear that everyone, from the kids to the adults, had something to enjoy. We hope the 60th birthday celebration was memorable, and we’d love to host you again for any future gatherings!
This place is perfect for a retreat! The beds were comfortable. It was clean. Very well stocked kitchen. The manager was very responsive. I would highly recommend.
House is beautiful, and very comfortable for a large group. Arcade room kept the kids happy, and the hot tub and fire pit were awesome! Plenty of towels, firewood, and all the trash bags and cleaning supplies were well stocked. Management company was super responsive by text to any questions we had. We had a great vacation!
Amazing home, on an amazing location. Our large group found privacy and comfortable meeting areas throughout. The firepit outside by the lake was very especially alluring. Our only request would be to adjust all the lighting in the kitchen areas…bulbs were either out or too bright. Highly recommend!!!

Thanks for your feedback, Ken! We are so glad you and your guests had a great time and hope you will be back soon! We appreciate the feedback on the lights, we are looking into the issue.
We hosted 22 people at the lake house for Thanksgiving, and it was great! The kids loved the game room (played for hours and hours), the bedrooms and bathrooms were all comfortable, and the family loved the large common areas. We cooked a full thanksgiving meal, and the multiple fridges really made a huge difference. Perhaps best of all, the management company was incredibly responsive and quick to stop by to resolve any issues. Would stay here again!
Large family gathering. House accommodations were very good. Would have been very helpful to have a Welcome Book outlining where everything could be found. Also the original instructions I received were different than the departure email. However, our stay was very enjoyable
Spacious rooms, well equipped kitchen, well supplied basics such as towels, paper products. Nice dock area and porches. Responsive host. Needs additional seating- no chairs in bedrooms, sectional couch but no other seating in living room. Mostly bare walls, bare floors and no curtains or upholstery makes for loud acoustics. Some people might not notice it.

Thank you, Bill. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the space, the well-stocked kitchen, and the dock and porch areas. We also appreciate your thoughtful feedback on seating and acoustics—this is very helpful as we continue making improvements. We’d be happy to host you again anytime.
Is overall we really enjoy this property! The nice thing with this property is we didn't have to pack everything in our house but the kitchen sink. I had the bed sheets, the bath towels, towels for the lake, beds made up, hand soap, dish soap, very high end brand of everything in the shower! Couldn't ask for more. Very attentive! We will seek them out again. Much better than dealing with homeowners!
