Whispering Water Private Retreat

The property location was great, views were spectacular. The house was clean and well stocked with all amenities, loved the charcoal BBQ. When I'm back in the area, I will certainly book it again.

Weekend getaway

For our weekend getaway that included visiting friends and family in town, we did not want to spend our down time staring at hotel walls. This home on the lake gave us the most delightful deck to sit and enjoy sunset breezes and then morning coffee. Very relaxing after all the in-town flurry!! Thank you-hope to come back again!

Lovely View and Home

This home is a very lovely place on a beautiful lake. There are kayaks (which we used) and the place was very cleaned and well-appointed. Some improvements which would make it even better: a ladder on the dock into the lake; the larger bedroom had a circuit issue, and the shower is tiny and doesn't close all the way. Also, the first day we were there we got a call from the manager asking if it was okay if the property owner retrieved some tools from the garage to fix the boathouse door. By that time the owner had come with a helper, made quite a bit of noise outside, apparently fixed the door and left. This was beyond the manager's control, and she handled it as best she could, but it should be a policy that owners do not show up on their property unless otherwise stated in the rental agreement.
