Hot tub, privacy, foosball, sleeps 6, dog friendly

The location, the dock and the cove were the best parts of this house. It has a lot of space but is VERY outdated, cheaply decorated and not well maintained for the price. There were broken lamps, outlets that didn't work, doors that didn't close and the flood lights outside didn't work which is a huge hazard. There is no internet and only 1 TV in the basement. There is plenty of space for a TV in the main living room area and at this price I would expect that plus internet. The furniture is very old and in disarray as well as all of the cheap and bad decor. We called the number to report some of the issues and we got the owner who answered and said they were the owner and then hung up. We then called another number which was the management company and they said they would call back and come address at least the fload lights but never showed up. The property outside has not been maintained with years of crap on the decks and walkeays. This house has some very nice features like the hot tub, screened in porch (which was slanted) and 4 good size bedrooms with 3 very small baths but overall the lack of updates it needs and the crappy furniture and decor make it much more expensive than it should be. We always enjoy the lake and will be back but not to this house.

My family stayed at LemonZest for 10 days at the beginning of August. We had a fun time. Plenty of house space and room for sleeping. Enjoyed use of the hot tub as well as the lake and docks. Access to the lake is a bit precarious with the steep hill. Wouldn't have mattered except we had our two dogs with us and they love to swim. So we had to to descend the hill for them to get in the water. Would be nice if the main dock attached to the hill down below. Also having steps into the lake would be great for the dogs. The big stones along the shore made it tough. Being in the cove made it less busy with boats. We had fun at the bridge shops and playing putt putt. Also rented a pontoon boat for a day and went tubing. Overall the lake house is large but in need of some sprucing up. No yard for activities. There was also a misunderstanding on whether Sheets and towels were provided so we had to purchase them at Dollar General the night we got there. I guess you can rent them but need to give three months notice. I did not receive prior information regarding a list of things to bring although I was told I did. Loved the lake but may look for a house with more yard space and easier lake access for next year.

I took my wife and two small children (2 and 1) along with my adult brother and parents to Lemon Zest. The location was perfect, about ten minutes from the grocery store, and not hard to find with the help of Google Maps. The location on the lake is back in a quiet cove which was great for swimming and jumping off the second level dock. The gas grill is hooked to the main tank in the house so you don't have to buy or swap a tank which was super convenient. Overall, the house was great and accommodated us very well.

We had two small issues during our stay which could not have been foreseen. With calls to the property manager there were professionals there to address the issues within two hours. I write this as a plus and not a condemnation; things happen. The property manager solved the problems quickly and without question. A+.

Would definitely rent again. Had a blast!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lemon Zest. The home is spacious and comfortable. I believe it advertises sleeping 6, but it really sleeps 8, as there are 4 bedrooms. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, serving and baking items, utensils etc. I cooked a full Easter dinner. And, we even made a recipe from the "Lemon Zest" recipe book for dessert! It was awesome.

We enjoyed fishing, canoeing, hot tubbing, and hiking in the state park nearby. We went to a beautiful Easter sunrise service too. We named the resident owl "Hootie"! We saw him up close!! It was a great way to spend the Easter getaway with our college student from Liberty!! And we thought the "lemon theme" was really fun!! Thank YOU!!

Lemon Zest is an adorable lake cottage that provided a relaxing and quiet weekend.
