This kind of vacation is made enjoyable by the extent to which the premises are clean and functionally sound, the beds comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, and special features like a hot tub functioning flawlessly so as to provide enjoyment at any time called upon. This property checked all of those boxes. Communication with our hosts was outstanding. To boot, we spend our vacation with our small dogs, given their constant contributions to family conviviality, and hosts with a tolerant rental policy regarding four leggeds are a commendable, special breed, to coin a phrase. We salute them and advise readers of this review that they won't be disappointed if they stay here.

I would rate this place a 4.5. It has a great location and the house is nicely updated inside with plenty of space. The kitchen is well appointed and had everything we needed. We used the mooring ball to keep the boat we rented for two days and then would either walk in the thigh high water to access the boat or someone one would walk the boat to the dock for others to get on/off. It would be nice for the dock to have steps into the water for easier access in and out of the water.We rented our pontoon from the nearby Narrows Marina - walking distance from house. It was nice to have a boat for a couple days but it is quite expensive to rent.We brought paddle boards, kayak and a large flotation raft that was nice to have for fun in the lake.There were plenty of linens and they also supplied beach towels, which was nice. There was also spices and other baking essentials left cabinets which was nice to not to have to buy. We chose this place because we needed a dog-friendly rental. It is more than we'd typically spend for a rental home but it suited our needs well.All in all, it was a fantastic rental.
