the home was beautiful - well stocked with all of the essentials - our family enjoyed our stay there - the only improvement I would recommend is - to have a small area along the lake edge - make a small "sandy beach area" where the little ones could enjoy the lake more - otherwise, we were very pleased

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad to hear your family enjoyed your stay and found the home well stocked. We appreciate your suggestion about the lake area and will keep it in mind for future improvements. We hope to host you again in the future!
This property and home are beautiful. We swam, kayaked, and fished everyday. Enjoyed some local hiking. My husband golfed nearby. The views in the early morning and evening are amazing. The home is great for families with teens due to the downstairs rec area. We loved it and will definitely try to book again.
Nice property. Being a boat or pontoon if you have one. Boat launch across the lake and plenty of dock space. Massive fireworks all around the property. We brought extra kayaks as two are on the property. Lots of water time spent. All had a great time. Spent some time golfing. Several courses 30 to 50 minutes north to east. Nice courses. Check out time was at 10 am. Noon time would be better. Overall a nice stay.
