The Lakeside retreat
The house was large and accommodated 6 adults very well. The pool area was large and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the essentials. The problem with the property was the neighbors' dogs came into yard which was frightening because they were large dogs. Other issue, the glass doors leading to pool were very hard to open and close. In general, we enjoyed the house because there was plenty of room to enjoy company and still have room for privacy.

Me and my family expecting to have it a good family time, but with no WiFi service to watch TV or play games was impossible, the pool super duty, Green, disgusting, nasty, we rent the house for 2 nights and we have to leave before. We contact the company to let them know and they promise to return partial payment, and we still waiting for that return. ( Never happen) We definitely not recommend this house to nobody.
