Beautiful home with a spacious outdoor patio, lawn, and water access. We really enjoyed our stay and all of the amenities offered! The screened porch is perfect for enjoying morning coffee or relaxing with water views. The host and property manager were wonderful to communicate with and very accommodating throughout the entire trip! Thanks again for a great stay!

Kim and her guest did such an amazing job respecting our home. It didn't even look used aside from the beds being stripped. We would welcome them back and recommend them to anyone. I am glad you enjoyed your time at "The Shack"

Good. House was well stocked with everything. Water was low so the dock had to be removed but can’t control Mother Nature. Other than that everything was excellent

Thank you, Keith, for your stay and for sharing your feedback. We’re so glad to hear the house had everything you needed and that you enjoyed your time. Mother Nature certainly kept us on our toes this season with the unusually low water levels, but we appreciate your understanding. We’re happy everything else was excellent for you.

We had an absolute blast at the lake this past week! What an incredible view! We loved the outdoor patio at night, the huge lawn for kickball games with the kids, and the private beach was perfect! We brought our boat and we were so happy to have a dock to load and unload our family members. The house was great, we really enjoyed the screened in porch (my stepson actually camped out there because he loved it so much). Our family also hunts so we appreciated all the fun animal mounts in the house. Thank you for a week we will never forget!
