When we arrived the electricity was off due to a storm. Tom called the utility company, the owner, and others to try to get generators and agreed to pay for lodgings elsewhere.Fortunately, power got restored and we were able to stay. Plenty of cookware, dishes, even spices in kitchen. House was clean with plenty extra blankets.

Dave, Glad power was restored so you were able to enjoy the property. Clean up crew appreciated your help and cooperation at departure even though the promised late check out promise was negated by the surprise last minute "instant booking". Thank you for your understanding in spite of disappointment. Perhaps we can make it up if there is a "next time" Jerry

Full Family Vacation

We had a family group of 7 adults and 7 kids. What a great facility. We had plenty of room, big table for dinner plus picnic tables, fun balcony, plus two extra rooms if you needed quite time. It was super hot and the air conditioning was great. Lake was good for all ages.
