The host answered all of our questions and provided clear instructions. The house was beautiful and cozy - just what we needed! We loved the bath towels and the brick accents in the bathroom floors. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook, and the beds were comfy. It was refreshing and relaxing.

Hosts were excellent! Very communicative throughout. They provided swift & through responses to all inquiries. This house is immaculate. Cute little touches like the Christmas tree really made it feel like home! Very spacious and comfortable. Beautiful lake views! Beds were all extremely comfortable & we already ordered a set of the sheets they had on the beds there because we loved them so much! Overall, we had a wonderful stay & would book again there in a heartbeat!

The property was as listed with plenty of room, convenient location, and very clean. We loved the calm waters so our water toys didn’t get banged up at night, yet we were only a few minutes from open lake. We also loved being near a boat ramp and Lakeshore Restaurant was only a few minutes by boat or car. We also had accessibility to use their kayaks, life jackets, extra towels, etc. And the house was immaculate inside. The grounds could’ve used some tidying up but overall it was a great week and we appreciate the hosts hospitality . Last, but not least, very few steps to the water was REALLY a plus too if we forgot something or when a shower popped up!
