Very nice stay at this lake front home! Plenty of room for our large group. The kitchen had all the needed items to cook meals and had nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Roomy bunk room for the kids and nice downstairs with pool table! Great stay!
We had a fantastic stay. We are three couples, and there was plenty of room. The house had everything we needed to make our time there comfortable. The host was friendly and responded immediately to our questions. I would definitely recommend this vrbo.
We had a great time! The house was just as described. It has the best appointed kitchen I've ever seen in a VRBO. If you need it to cook or entertain, this house has it.
The house was awesome! Very clean & comfortable.....sandy beach was great! We had 4 older couples & there was plenty of room....everyone really enjoyed it!! Had a blast! Would definitely plan another trip there.
The communication with the host was good. We communicated through text message. Good weather for kayaking and fishing on the lake. Quiet neighborhood, not much going on the lake. Very relaxing, great view from the balcony. House is good size for a group of ten, close to the other lakes for boating by motor and other water sports.
This property was very nice for our family. Plenty of room for privacy and for gatherings. Kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed. Row boats were quite heavy to turn daily. Raft was great for the kiddos. We all really enjoyed!
The view of the lake is beautiful. The house is spacious and has everything you would need for a family vacation. The beds are very comfortable and having 2 family rooms would be perfect for 2 families with kids.
Whispering Oaks Cottage was the perfect home for a great family vacation. Everything in the home suited our family's needs. The deck was a great space to sit and view the lake when we weren't down at the small beach or in the lake. Cable Lake was calm and peaceful. The kayaks and peddle boat available to use were great amenities. Alison was very responsive and helpful. We would love to go back to this lovely home.
This rental was perfect for 2 families (8 people). The 4 kids loved the bunk beds (could have fit another kid or two in there), and the adults had ample space to spread out in the other bedrooms upstairs. The lake was perfect for a day swimming and boating around. The fact that there are no motorized boats, etc, on this small lake made it even more perfect. Alison was helpful and responsive. Kitchen was well stocked with all you need to cook, and there is a local Dollar General for all that we didn’t have (ketchup, butter, beach towels we forgot to bring, etc)! We would definitely rent again if we return to the area!
We had a great time here over the weekend. It was clean and well stocked with supplies. I would recommend this to friends and family looking to stay in the area.
We stayed here off season and enjoyed the quiet and serene setting. The house was perfect for our family - clean, comfortable beds, well equipped, and plenty of room for all of us. The view off the back of the house is stunning. Alison was easy to communicate with and there for us if we had any questions. I would highly recommend a stay here!
This property fit our needs perfectly for our long weekend family getaway! Very clean and cozy! Allison is very nice, helpful and easy to contact. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a great week. The lake is quiet, the home is great and there was a lot for us to do. It was exactly what our family needed!
