Thank you for your review. We pride ourselves in having everything in the house needed for a great adventure. Clothes, drinks and your toiletries are all people have to bring. We even supply fishing rods but people have to get their own worms. lol

Debra’s home is not just a rental house but a real home. She’s a magnificent hostess and it shows in every thoughtful detail. This home is not filled with “leftovers” from other rentals or houses but with beautifully chosen pieces to make your stay memorable. Her home is accommodating and has ample room for enjoying the lake, whether it’s from the multiple areas on the deck or the dock, you will feel relaxed and pampered. Debra ensures that you’re treated like family. I will definitely return. Thank you Debra for your kindness!

The dock and lake view are excellent. "Its all out back". Most of the lake Murray rentals don't have a multiple mile open water view off the dock. And they don't look west.
