Great place! Perfect for pet owners with the fully fenced yard. Only thing that I would suggest is having cleaning supplies on hand. Also a vacuum so we can clean up after our pets better.
Great, cute spot right on the lake. My family really enjoyed fishing off the dock—we caught carp, catfish, and more. The kayaks were a great bonus. Overall, it’s a great place to stay!
We enjoyed staying here It was clean with a beautiful view of the lake.Just a couple of issues There were only 2 dish towels (that we could find ) and the Lighting is lacking … needs brighter bulbs so and won’t be so dark ….

Nice place if you’re looking for simplicity and comfort. Great location. Semi-isolated. WiFi and phone service was an issue but every thing else was just what we were looking for.
Great location, well stocked, very clean. However the internet and the cable were not working.
Nice place for a family vacation

Great weekend despite the coronavirus scare
We had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for having us. It was wonderful, especially now, to unplug and be with family. The house is lovely and had everything we needed.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay. We kayaked, fished, and sat on the porch and enjoyed the view. We had everything we needed. The home was clean and comfortable. We plan to be return in the future.
