A beautiful lake home, just as pictured, in a sweet little lake community. Lee and Jess really went above and beyond to make us feel right at home during our stay. Everything was so carefully thought through and they thought of absolutely everything that you could possibly need during your stay and provided just that. I can’t wait to rebook, I would recommend a thousand times!!

Great property! Lee was a great host and quick to respond if we had any questions. An adorable welcome basket greeted us when we got there, and even included sunscreen and bug spray. Quality products like shampoo/conditioner/etc were also provided in the bathroom. Beds were comfy. Only thing we didn't know prior was there are steps from the garage to the house. They are lit well at night though!

Overall great stay! Property is beautiful and tons of room! We loved the lake view and access to the peddle boat and kayaks! Having firewood available was a fun touch and everyone in our group loved the bonfire. Beds were super comfy and tons of blankets, pillows, towels ect! We had 6 adults and 1 child and didn’t run out of towels! Loved the snacks and bin of things you might need! Thank you for a great stay!

6/10 Okay

PositivesThe lake views are beautiful and were certainly one of the highlights of our stay. The location offers a peaceful setting and enjoyable scenery, creating a relaxing atmosphere throughout the visit.ConsiderationsProspective guests should be aware that the home is somewhat dated, and much of the property’s value appears to be tied to its waterfront location. While the accommodations were comfortable, the overall cost felt higher than expected for the condition of the home.There are also several property rules and additional fees that may not be immediately apparent when booking. Guests may want to review these details carefully in advance to avoid any surprises during their stay.Overall ImpressionWe enjoyed the beautiful views and relaxing atmosphere. However, considering the rental rate and additional costs, I believe there may be opportunities to enhance the overall value and guest experience.

Thank you for your stay and for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the lake views and peaceful setting. We work hard to provide a transparent booking experience, with our listing, house rules, and all applicable fees disclosed prior to booking. Optional amenities, such as golf cart and pontoon rentals, are available for guests who wish to enhance their stay, but are never required. We appreciate your comments and will continue looking for ways to improve the guest experience.

The cottage was just what our family needed. We were welcomed with the cutest little gift basket of items to enjoy and extra supplies we may have forgotten to pack. The decor took me back to simpler times. The house had everything one could possibly need without being overcluttered. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee with the lakeview. My niece and nephew brought their fishing poles and all the kids enjoyed catching their first fish. We borrowed the peddle boat and kayaks while friendly pontoon boaters waved to us on the water. The owners were quick to answer any questions we had and even mailed me back a forgotten item. I look forward to renting this place again.

This little house is fully stocked to the brim with everything you could need to have an amazing stay. Starting with TWO baskets of snacks, lotions, bug sprays, drinks, treats, glow sticks, soaps... to the kitchen having not two but three coffee making options, and coffee provided! I chose the pour over. Because, why not! There's a full selection of tea, and a very nice water kettle. Sugar, seasonings, baking soda and powder, agave, a cocktail mixer set, all the knives are sharp, all the silverware matches, the pots and pans are all so nice! The shampoo/conditioner/body wash all smell so nice, there's lotions and soaps provided. The towels are so fluffy and clean, the linens are crisp and the beds are really comfy. The deck is perfect for sunning, chilling, grilling, or snoozing. The dock is super cute and the water is nice and clean, for putting your toes in. Down the road a bit is a private beach that's highly swimmable. The host is there for anything you need. He's kind and friendly! I 1000% recommend staying here. We will be back for sure.
