We stayed here in early December for a large family Christmas gathering, and it was an amazing experience. We had 25 people in our group, and the house accommodated everyone comfortably.The home felt cozy and inviting while still being modern and beautifully updated. It truly has the elegance of a luxury home, while maintaining a warm, woodsy lake-house feel. The drive in through two coded gates made the property feel very private and secluded.Loved that the hosts put up a Christmas tree for our stay, a thoughtful touch that made our holiday gathering extra special. The outdoor spaces were fantastic, especially the two fire pits, one on upper deck and one near jacuzzi deck. The screened-in upper deck was perfect for enjoying the outdoors at night, and the porch swing couch quickly became a favorite spot for everyone.Layout worked incredibly well for a large group. The number of bathrooms was huge plus, and kitchen was spacious enough for many people cooking at once. Dining tables easily seated our entire group for meals together. Lake views were peaceful and beautiful, even in December had warm weather, with a few brave guests taking a dip in the lake.Communication with the host was fast and helpful throughout our stay.A few tips for future guests: there is a drip coffee maker but no Keurig, plan accordingly. Bring extra towels for jacuzzi or lake use. Red clay near the lake stains shoes, bring footwear you don't mind dirtying. Overall, a wonderful stay!
