The host couple, Diane and Allen, are amazing people. The house was clean and well organized. This is our second stay and we will be back. We used the fire pit often and enjoyed the swimming just down the road.

Don’t worry about this one-great place-everything you need. Great folks managing the property. Only issue was a minor issue with instructions on the key code for entry. Luckily the owners greeted us at the property and all was fine

Charming Lake Getaway!

The property was clean and so cute! Diane and Allen were very thoughtful in providing ongoing communication, a plethora of amenities for many interests and needs, and even built a ready-to-go fire for us upon arrival. Highly recommend and would visit again! Thank you!

Great house in a quiet neighborhood

Check in process was amazing. Home was very clean. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking. Quiet subdivision. Great for morning walks. Home is very close to the lake. My son played the piano daily, and loved that it was there. Spacious clean yard. Loved the badminton set up in the backyard. We also used the corn hole. Home is very accommodating! Property owners left a nice snack tray for us. And were very attentive. We did not encounter any issues during our stay. Thank you Diane and Allen for a wonderful stay! Kristie
