The house was clean overall the kitchen is a little dated. Had little trouble with the water. Could not adjust the temperature in the showers very well plenty of hot water only had one towel and one wash rag for each person for the week and that we were there should’ve been more towels and washed rags available little understocked in the kitchen. I had to go buy us some supplies but overall it’s OK could not get the boat under the carport. My pontoon set up too high on a trailer. A small boat would be no problem at all to use the landing.

Very good house in a great location. It is at the end of a peninsula with a dock in a cove. There are labels throughout the house for the light and fan switches as well a guidance for various things. The three bedrooms are good sizes.
Views from the dock.

The house was just as advertized very spacious & clean on the inside with lots of outdoor space to take in all the lake views from every angle, it's in an excellent location and the neighborhood was quiet as well as private.

Great access to the water

Our quick weekend for a family wedding was complete with swimming, boating, and paddle boarding from the dock at this house. So quiet and lovely. Easy to make a few simple meals for our family and down the road from our wedding venue. We got to drive the boat to the wedding and enjoyed a meal at a restaurant on the lake. Would love to come back- only negative is all the fees from this platform plus the managing company on top of it. Almost makes it unaffordable and not what the nightly rate is when you first look it up. Disappointment in that
