Extended Lake Weekend

This property was absolutely gorgeous!! We enjoyed swimming off of the dock and actually rented a jet ski and tube which the kids loved. The property was clean and well equipped for a family of four (9 & 15). Pat and Mary were very welcoming and accommodated a last minute additional day. We saw deer every morning while sipping coffee on the upper dock. There is a dollar general a couple of miles away for any must haves. We really have no complaints. Thanks Pat and Mary.The Bethea FamilyRusty, Lorrie, Price, and Eden(who also loved the cats)
