The pictures do not do this place justice. The amenities spared no expense. The property was clean and well kept. You wouldn't even have realized it was a dog friendly property. It was very spacious for 8 people. Rob was a great host and communication was top notch. We are looking to book again next year.

The property was beautiful in a nice quiet wooded neighborhood. The house was nice and clean and came with everything we needed for our stay. The furniture and beds were comfortable. We really liked having our own private dock. The lounge chairs on the dock were a plus! We sat down there every afternoon until sunset. It was so peaceful at the lake, and we saw absolutely beautiful sunsets! The property was close to the two state parks we wanted to hike at. Rob also had a list in the house of places to hike which was very helpful. Rob was a good host in answering all of our questions. We were also happy that we were able to bring our dog. We had a very enjoyable time and would definitely stay here again!

This property was amazing and clean! The host was very responsive. The house was spacious for our family of five 2 dogs. We loved playing the games and using the pool table. There is a big TV in the game room as well. Plenty of cookware there and a big grill on the deck.The yard is perfect! We loved the big swing, the fire pit and the hot tub! The Best part was the quiet, private dock, with such scenic views. We hung out on the dock and relaxed, went kayaking, and swimming/floating on floats there!
