There are multiple places to socialize within the property, a fabulous fire pit, kayaks, paddle board, pontoon boat, and a garage with a ping-pong table in a fun living area. Excellent communication from the owners. a five star all the way.

We had a wonderful time and the house couldn’t have been better. Had everything you could think of, even small details like a high chair and baby gate, but all decent shampoo, smore roasters, aluminum foil and baggies, paddle boards and kayaks. And the pantoon boat was a nice add. The lake was big enough to be fun but small enough to feel safe. We stayed with three families with kids age 1 to 15. The garage and ping pong was a favorite hang out too!

Beautiful home!

The house was beautiful and was stocked with everything we needed. The sandy beach was great. Fishing off the dock was amazing! My 6 yr old granddaughter was the fishing champ! She caught a turtle, catfish, bass, gar, and multiple Blue gills! The older boys really enjoyed the kayaks. The one night that it rained, everyone hung out on n the garage. Everyone had the best time! Would definitely recommend!

Great family space!

We loved the space in this house, it was perfect for our family vacation ! Having the pontoon was a major plus, we loved our evening cruises around the lake. The lake was small but quiet which we loved. The kids had a blast fishing off the dock, they caught plenty of fish which kept them busy when they weren’t playing in the water or on the nice sandy beach. The garage space was perfect for a rainy day or a break from the beach. We have rented many lake houses over the years and this is def one of our all time faves. Excellent communication from our host as well! Thanks guys for a wonderful time!!

Our family had an amazing long weekend at this place! We rented it for a summer end getaway before school and fall. It was perfect. The home was as described. Well stocked and clean with plenty of space to spread out with our 4 grandchildren and our children. The lakefront is ideal for young kids with a nice sandy beach area and shallow waters to play in. There is a great fire pit area and the bonus, the lake with the pontoon boat. We all enjoyed that and spent as much time on the lake as possible. The amenities were well thought out as is the living space. The home is located in a nice neighborhood. The bedrooms were all spacious and comfy. We had great communication with our hosts and everything was super relaxing and easy. A definite five plus stars!! We have found our family getaway!!
