The house was very clean. The host was very responsive & the lake view was very convenient. The only thing that I would suggest is more lightning at night, outside leading to the lake. Other than that everything else was a 10/10.

The house was great! Communication was even better. I 100% would recommend this for a family. My only caution is that there is not room to pull a truck and trailer into the drive so if you take a boat plan to park along the road. Thank you Jason for a great weekend with friends

The stay was great, but there were many spider webs around. Door to the balcony, spider webs were all across the door. Clean rooms but the lake view was not good. Water was low and hot. To check out at 11 with trash to take away was not good. On Sunday the trash place does not open until 2. Had to take trash back to Atlanta
