Father’s Day Weekend

What an amazing place. We had a great time. House was super clean and conveniently located. Fish were biting right off the dock. Even though it rained most of the time, we found things to do. The pool table and arcade game were great. Property managers were very easy to deal with. Zero problems! This was a great way to spend Father’s Day. We will be back.

My husband and I are older adults. We did not realize the length of the stairs to access the dock/lake. Both of us had enough knee pain that we didn't go down to the water the last day. Better connections between owner and vrbo should have included info about the BBQ grill. We asked and were told it was a charcoal grill, so we bought and brought charcoal and starter. Our youngest grandchild is 6 mo old. The amount of space to put up a portacrib was so limited, her dad slept in the open bed. Lovely lake!!! Nice dock and great toys!
