It's ashamed that a 5 Star is the highest rating. This place was way over the top. Any and everything we needed was available.The place was immaculate. Kitchen was well stocked, the beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean and well supplied. Irving was a great host and responded to all our questions quickly. I highly recommend this beautiful home. Thanks Irving, for you and your family sharing your Vrbo with us.

We stayed here to celebrate our third anniversary and my birthday, and it was an amazing experience. The home is beautiful, spotless, and modern, with a gorgeous view of the lake. The owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we especially enjoyed relaxing on the back porch. The master bedroom and bathroom were excellent, and the garage space was a great convenience. We would absolutely stay here again.

The house and pool were great for family time. The lot is large and shaded with a beautiful view of the lake. The screened porch is huge and each day we enjoyed a visit from 10-12 deer. It was very relaxing.

Awesome lake home.

Great property for a family fishing trip! Lake front with private boat ramp just down the street. You will need to be proficient with backing a trailer if you bring a boat but not that much of an issue for us. Very nice home the pictures of the property are correct with what we found. Overall great experience.

Perfect Getaway

We rented this house for our family to celebrate our son’s birthday. He loves to fish, so this was the perfect choice! We had 4 adults and 2 kids and there was more than enough room for all of us. The owners have provided everything you could need! The kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms are completely stocked. Extra blankets, games, life jackets, even down to charging stations for our phones-they have thought of everything! The views are incredible-we had deer visit both in the mornings and evenings. The screened in porch was our favorite! Access to the lake is right in the front yard. We fished from the dock but had also rented a boat, which the owners let us tie up to their dock overnight. I cannot say enough good things about the house, the property and the owners. The owner was easy to contact and was very responsive. 10/10 and highly recommend.
