Everything was amazing! The kitchen was stocked with the little things like condiments and spices. The beds were very comfortable. Bathrooms were clean with plenty of towels. Our friends loved the house.. we never left during our stay!! We did rent a pontoon from 101 Lakes pontoon which was the icing on the cake for morning and evening cruises and time on the sandbar! Great experience!
