Excellent lake view. Kid friendly, pet friendly. Quiet place to vacation. Very clean. All amenities provided. It is quite a way away from boat launch so heed the warning to launch your boat and bring it to the dock and not try to bring the boat down the road the house is on. But that is stated in the paperwork and description prior to rental. Excellent place to get away from it all. Will definitely come back!

Our stay was wonderful! The location was perfect and the view from the deck was beautiful! My only critique is that the railing on the deck was not safe for little children.

Great house, just as listed! Had all the things we needed to set our family up on the lake for the week. The home owner sent a bunch of helpful info about the area. Heed the warning and grocery shop before you come! We had a super relaxing week at the lake, and really enjoyed the back deck even in the rain!

The lake view was absolutely beautiful. It was so peaceful. The only thing was we didn’t have any dish rags in the kitchen but we managed. Other than that we loved our stay there.

Everything was great. The only thing the group agreed that would be beneficial is a ceiling fan on the beautiful deck. Thank you for a wonderful place for our ladies’ retreat.
