This was the most welcoming place we have ever stayed & we VRBO at least 10 times a year. The owners make this home so “ shareable”. Toys, games, kitchen, spices- it feels like if you are lucky enough to have a home on the water, this would be it!Thank you so much for sharing this home with us

We had a fabulous time here and we will be back again. The location at the lake cannot be beat and the views were stunning. Everything was clean and comfortable, and every need was provided for - throws and blankets, beach towels and chairs, games, etc. We especially enjoyed the front porch with the firepit and games!. Communication was excellent - if we had any question, the host responded immediately. Our family and friends loved every minute of our stay!

We had an amazing week staying with our friends. The house was outstanding, with beautiful views, and a great location on the lake. We were so grateful that our dogs were welcomed. Very well stocked with everything you could possibly need, and very spacious. Everyone had plenty of space for themselves, and plenty of room for us to gather after a fun day on the lake. We had 2 boats and 2 jet skis, the dock was a little crowded! Parking was a little tricky with 3-trucks w/trailers and another vehicle. The hosts are very mindful of you from the beginning to the end of your stay.

Families gathering for USC graduation

This home was perfect for our 5 families to gather so we could celebrate our children’s graduations from USC. The home was beautiful. The layout was perfect. The view to the lake and the enormous back porch were amazing! So many places to sit and enjoy each other and the view. We are all hoping to return one day. Thank you to the owners for the thought they put into this home and for sharing it with us.

Lovely home. It's great for larger groups or several family members together because each bedroom is en suite (even the bunk room). There were only 7 of us, but the house can accommodate more people
