Loved relaxing at the lake!

The house and property are exactly as advertised and our family of 7 adults fit comfortably. Everyone enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding on the lake. Neighbors are really nice. Lake is quiet during the week and a bit busier on the weekends, but still only a few boats out at a time. We had a bit of rain so got in some family game nights. Not a lot to see/do in the surrounding area, but found some good restaurants. Really nice that owners provide drinking water as we weren't fond of well water. We'll definitely come back again.

Fun in the sun

We had a fabulous time! The host had paddle boards and kayaks we could use and was easy to get a hold of when you had a question. We would definitely rent again.

Expected more for the price

This home was not a good fit for our family of 7 adults. The bedrooms are small and the beds and bedding are older and worn. No one slept well which is disappointing when on vacation. There is only one bathroom even though the home has beds for 9. One bath was not enough to accommodate our group of 7. The toilet seat would not stay up for the men in the family…an annoyance. There were a few changes in floor levels between the hallway and family room, only a few inches and they were marked with caution tape, but it was still easy to stumble over them. The boat, which we paid extra to use, was difficult to start. The lake itself is very, small. You can see the entire lake from the any place on the lake. It’s listed as an all sports lake which made us think it would be larger…wrong assumption. All in all, we would not rent this home again because it’s not a good fit for our family. We had high expectations because of the high cost to rent. That cost led us to believe it would be a good fit for our group. This review would be better had the price matched the quality of the property and surrounding area.

Great location

Had a ball, house fit everybody comfortably. Outside was perfect, lake was peaceful. Inside was clean and comfortable, kitchen well stocked. Neighbors were friendly and the parking worked but tight.
