The trip was amazing, especially having a private beach. Our whole group loved the rope swing that was over the lake! I feel our stay would have been more accommodating if there were TVs in all the bedrooms, seeing as we were a whole group of bedtime TV watchers.

The house was large and sleeps a lot of people. Access to the lake was great. A couple of issues I have with the house. 1) only two burners on the stove worked and the grill was not a gas grill and there were no instructions on how to use it. This made preparing food for a large group a little difficult. 1) There were not enough dressers in the bedrooms, so we were mainly just living out of our suitcases the whole week. 3) There were no napkins or paper towels supplied, which is fine, just would have been nice to know ahead of time, so we could come prepared. 4) check out was at 10am, which made it a rush to get everything packed and beds stripped on our last morning.

Beautiful spacious home!

We unfortunately stayed here because of a death in the family, & it was such a blessing to not only have a beautiful place my whole family could stay, but a property manager that makes it such an easy process! I would 100% stay here again when in the area!

Wonderful beach house

We had a wonderful stay at this beach house! The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing getaway. The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always available to help and make sure everything was perfect. The private beach was beautiful—clean, peaceful. I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quiet beach retreat.

Great stay!

We had a wonderful stay! The property has a beautiful beach with a rope swing over the water that the kids loved. It was so fun seeing our son paddle around on one of the kayaks. He caught a largemouth bass right off the dock. We enjoyed a dinner of smoked chicken kabobs and sweet corn cooked on the pellet grill while sitting at the patio table watching the sunset. We ended each night watching the stars while roasting marshmallows over the campfire listening to waves settle on the beach. What a treat this was for our family. Thank you!
