We love this place so much that even though my husband broke his arm there last memorial day when he slipped after a good rain, we went back this year. Still love it. Fishing was great. There is great sandy swimming areas, kyaking, etc. We had a wave runner go missing this year....lol, but thankfully we found it. The space in this house is great. Plenty of living space and sleeping space. We love the upper outdoor screened porch. Great for relaxing.

The home is on a beautiful lake. Very relaxing and plenty of room for everyone to enjoy. The host is very responsive and kind. There was a neighborhood wide issue with the water pressure and the owner called the utility company right away and they came out same day. The pressure remained low during our stay but we knew it was being worked on and was out of the homeowners control. We truly enjoyed our time.

Spacious, clean and very comfortable, everything you need and then some. Great screened in back deck! Quiet neighborhood. Would have given 5 stars but for several rotten boards on the dock and the back stairs that are overdue for replacement. Our family is anxious to return.

A small family group joined us from Newberry to celebrate the 4th on the lake. We had a very relaxing weekend. The accommodations were nice and comfortable. The fireworks on the lake were fantastic. Neighbors were quite friendly.
