It was a beautiful spacious home. We had 8 people and each had their own space to sleep. The outdoor space was nice as well. Definitely recommend this for family vacations.

Great house for a big group. Dock was great for fishing fun! Kitchen had everything we needed! The only downside was the bed in the main bedroom downstairs was extremely squeaky. Just rolling over caused a loud noise that would wake up my husband and vice versa. Overall, I would recommend and we would visit again.

Perfect Getaway

Amazing getaway in a non commercialized area and felt safe. House was amazing, perfectly clean, and had everything we could have possibly needed for our stay. The dock was perfect for eating breakfast, floating in the water, and would be great if you chose to rent a boat or jet ski. The owner was quick to reply to any question. Highly recommend!

We had a great time! Our expectations were exceeded everywhere, the house, the dock, the outdoor patio, everywhere. The house was very clean and the furniture very comfortable. The gas grill that connected to the gas line was so convenient, no need to worry about needing a propane exchange. The dock had plenty of seating and space, it’s where we spent the majority of our time. We would absolutely book this house again!
