We needed a rental for my son’s wedding, home was perfect for our family. Nice large size rooms. Really appreciated having three bathrooms. Beautiful home in country setting and lake view with a safe neighborhood.

Thank you so much for choosing our home, we’re so happy that you and your family had an enjoyable stay. Congratulations to your son and wishing you all the best!
The house was overall great- exactly like the pictures listed. Lots of necessities and clear expectations. The house wasn't as clean as we would have expected but it didn't interfere with our stay.

The whole family agreed this vacation was a little piece of paradise. The view from the house and property can’t be beat. It was serene, and peaceful. The house has plenty of room and is well equipped. The property manager is extremely prompt if you have any questions.

This was our third stay at this wonderful lake house and three generations all had a fantastic time. The host is always quick to respond and check in was a breeze. This is the perfect vacation because everything you could want or need for the lake is right there. The kayaks and paddle boards were used a lot and we rented the pontoon boat again which everyone enjoyed! The improvements to the dock, extra porch and dock furniture, and a new refrigerator in the kitchen were very much appreciated! Mary W.

Kitchen was very well stocked with everything. Disappointed with the weekend noise coming from the clubhouse. Owner kept saying it was a quiet neighborhood but we couldn’t sit outside on the weekend

We are happy to hear you felt the kitchen was well stocked! Our home is generally quiet and peaceful, as many reviews note. During the summer, the community clubhouse across the lake occasionally hosts live music on the restaurant’s waterfront deck around 7–10 PM on Fridays and Saturdays and 2–5 PM on Sundays. Guests have consistently reported enjoying our home’s outdoor areas throughout the weekends and have not mentioned this as a concern.
Many enjoy the option for waterfront dining and entertainment at the restaurant. While we cannot control this activity, we are sorry you felt your stay was affected, and we will note the summer entertainment events in our listing description for future guests.
This is a great vacation home! The listing is exactly what you get, simple as that. Relaxing, swimming, boating, fishing and making family memories. We highly recommend this property!
We had a great time. The house was in good condition and right on the lake with a nice view. The amount of kayaks and paddle boards was awesome for our group. It is a quieter lake, so not a lot of boat traffic from other groups.

This is our second summer staying here and we had a wonderful time. Perfect place for a big family. There was always something to do. Even our teens and pre-teens were never bored.
The house has everything we needed and Woody was very friendly.
Thank you for another memorable family vacation.

Thank you Vone! We are so pleased that you all enjoyed your stay again. We would love to welcome you and your family back again in the future! Thank you so much!
This was our second year renting this home, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The house is perfectly equipped for our large group of 6 adults and 6 children, offering a beautiful, serene waterfront setting with plenty of space for everyone.The accommodations are fantastic, with comfortable bedrooms, and a modern, kitchen that made cooking for everyone a breeze. We especially loved the outdoor space—from the spacious patio for barbecues to the fire pit for s'mores. A major highlight is the garage full of kayaks, paddle boards and the ability to rent the pontoon boat for fishing and fun on the lake.The location is a perfect base for day trips, and the host is always helpful and responsive. This home truly offers the ideal blend of comfort and fun. We've made so many cherished memories here and are already looking forward to our next visit!

Had an amazing weekend with family at this house. It was everything they said it was. House was clean, plenty of space for all. Pontoon boat was great. Lots of time on the lake fishing, swimming and kayaking. Lake was really clear. Looking forward to another weekend at the lake.
Stayed with family for a week in Aug. We all had a great time. Plenty of room, beds were a bit uncomfortable and cleaning crew could be better. Overall great time on the lake, use of the boat, grill for dinners, fishing, campfires and sitting in the sun room. Owner and property manager Woody very responsive. Will enjoy renting again for more summers to come.

This was a fabulous place for us to stay. It was near family that we were visiting and offered a beautiful backdrop and tons of fun water activities. The property is extremely clean and Woody was super responsive when we needed help. Although they couldnʻt repair the pontoon boat, the fact that they contacted a boat repairman was excellent. There were many kayaks, paddle boards and floaties to enjoy the lake! Love this home and would stay again next year.

Thank you, Kerry, for the kind review. We are happy that you enjoyed your time at the lake! We are very sorry that we weren’t able to have the boat fixed until after your stay. Looking forward to hosting you again in the future.
The house and property are beautiful! We all had a great time paddle boarding, kayaking and playing games. The house has everything you need! From kitchen supplies, extra blankets and fire wood! We will definitely be coming back. The owner was great and always responsive! Even had a gift of chocolate chip cookies upon our arrival that were fantastic! I we recommend this house to everyone looking for a great vacation and beautiful place to stay.

We even received new year theme napkins, cookies and a "Thank you" card from the owner as a complimentary, which was a very nice surprise. We are planning to rent it again in a summer time. Thank you.

The layout of the house was perfect for our group of 3 families. Each set of parents had a king size bed, and their own bathroom. The 7 kids fit perfectly in the bunk room. Plus there was seating for everyone to lounge and also for everyone to eat together. The view of the lake is beautiful. The kids enjoyed the indoor pool in the community and sledding in the neighborhood. Would definitely recommend!

This is the 2nd time we stayed at this house and everything was perfect again. We rented the pontoon boat for the week and it was great to drive around the lake and fish from. We caught numerous fish and everyone enjoyed relaxing on the boat! The Check in process is simple and the house was clean. The kitchen has all the supplies you need to cook, you will not need to bring anything from home. All the bedrooms had enough blankets and the beds were comfortable. We all had a great time and hope to be back next year!
