Overall nice place. Stairs upstairs are very steep, couches in living room are super small 3 adults max. Kinda dirty kitchen and disgusting oven. Tried to reheat leftovers and smoked up the place before we cooked anything. We've had a lot worse 3.5ish out of 5.

5 Stars: Our 2 day stay at this beautiful property was wonderful. The accommodations were upscale and very comfortable. The adjoining kitchen and living room were perfect for our group gatherings and meals. Rebecca, our host, had conveniently provided all the necessary kitchen amenities to include outdoor grill plus coffee, creamers, bottled water. The whole home has been recently remodeled with large bedrooms and bathrooms and showers with rainfall shower heads, the house and bedding perfectly clean with nice decor. We plan to stay here again in the near future.

Property was super nice & well suited for our group size (7 - couples, 1 single & rest teenagers). Note - stairs to 2nd level are a little steep but master suite is on main level. Host supplied just about everything we needed. Kayaks were a little hard to get in the water but we are also not frequent kayakers so operator error is possible. Grocery store (Kroger) very close as is a DG & dollar tree in case forget anything.

Excellent Property

This house was absolutely amazing!! It was everything we had hoped for! We had 11 people stay and still plenty of room!! The house was fully stocked with everything you needed in the kitchen and bathrooms! Beds were comfy and everything was clean! Having the boat dock, kayaks and outside furniture was a great addition. We would definitely stay here again!! Thank you so much!
