We had a great stay over Labor Day Weekend!! Our time was filled hanging out on the dock with the Lilly pad and sitting outside on the patio watching the most beautiful sunsets on the water! The house was in a great location and we highly recommend staying at this spot for fun lake weekend!

Peaceful lakefront house with wonderful views and dock. Clean and well taken care of. Kids loved the hot tub too. My only complaint is the water pressure is very low, so we couldn’t take 2 showers at the same time. Would definitely book again!

It was perfect for a weekend getaway the host was responsive and the house was well provisioned. The bed was comfortable. The record player was a nice touch you just don't get that sound out of digital. The hot tub could have been a little cleaner. Overall we had a great time.

The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and cooking pans/utensils. I never could find a pot holder but we made do. The entire house was very clean on the inside and the bedrooms were perfect for our needs. The children played with the sock puppet and enjoyed making a little play. The living room setup was large enough for the entire family to watch a movie together.

House was clean but when we booked it, it didn’t say anything about the owners boat being on the dock nor did the photos show it. Now that it is summer their boat is there and the listing has changed to say it will be. Door lock didn’t work upon arrival but after 10 minutes we got it figured out. Queen and king beds were quite hard and the king frame was extremely loud. Boat dock was constantly covered in spiders and the property had a lot of flying bugs around. Cool thing was the foxes that greated us when in the hot tub. Bad thing was hot tub was just too hot to soak in so only feet could be put in. Tight and narrow one lane roads and the ramp was extremely difficult to navigate. For the really bad news. If you have a boat it was very difficult to get in and out of this property due to a neighbor. He has metal blocks preventing anyone from coming near his property and he parks his trailer and truck in the road partially to block you in. He then also mows at 8:30 every evening to where you cannot enjoy the sunset because there’s dust everywhere making it impossible to sit outside. We also did not care much for the travel trailers and the way they dumped their septic on the one side. I get that it is attached to the septic line with a hose but it was still gross. Would not book again.

Sabrina, I’m sorry to hear you had trouble with your stay. We’ve had fifteen 10/10 reviews so far and always strive to make each guests stay wonderful. I know it was frustrating when you asked to cancel a few weeks before your stay and were unable to receive a 100% refund. Hopefully this isn’t your motivation for such a harsh review. For clarity, our home has always been listed with two callouts about our boat being in the slip permanently. All of our Dock pictures have also reflected the boat in the slip and have never been changed in years. I’m sorry you missed this when booking. As I mentioned, we have had many guests successfully, bring their own boats and dock them off of the sun deck. We will take all of your feedback, constructively and work to make improvements.

Great house on the water! The house was clean and well stocked for our stay. The back patio and dock were great for enjoying the lake views and the water.

Our family of five enjoyed a long weekend stay here. The location is safe and convenient, close to the marina. My children enjoyed fishing from the dock. The house had everything we needed to feel comfortable and enjoy our stay. There were fans in one of the bedrooms, we wish we would have found those before the last day, it can take a little time to cool down at night. Overall a great stay!
