We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home was spotless, beautifully updated, and the views were absolutely spectacular. Having the private boat ramp right next door was a huge bonus. It made it easy for our dogs to walk into the water, and since it's private, there wasn't a lot of boat traffic.

Good: Nice location both from water and land. Very nice rear deck area that is shaded and there were plenty of recreational amenities available.Negative: Most rentals require checkout at 11:00AM - 12:00 Noon. !0:00AM checkout is a bit of a rush especially if you have children.

Our group of 4 adults stayed here for a week in mid-August. We were very impressed with how fresh and clean the house was, including the exterior.With lake levels extremely low, we chose this property because it still had a usable dock. We could get our boat to it, but the dock was so far above the water that we couldn’t tie up overnight. We knew this was possible given the low lake level.The kitchen was well equipped with cute dishes, good cookware, a coffee maker and Keurig, plus plenty of starter supplies. Bathrooms were also well stocked with TP, shampoo, conditioner and soap. The two downstairs bedrooms are small but clean and comfortable, with nicely updated bathrooms. The large upstairs bedroom has a half bath but no shower, so upstairs guests use the downstairs showers.The bonus room with sleeper sofa was too hot to use because the AC vent doesn’t work, and it has no privacy from the kitchen. There is also a separate laundry building with a full-size refrigerator/freezer—a great bonus for drinks and ice.The location is excellent, close to groceries, gas, liquor and the marina.Pet owners should know the neighboring empty lot is used by locals for dogs, and there is no fence on that side. Our dog was charged by loose dogs twice.The giant shaded porch overlooking the lake is the highlight! We loved watching herons and other waterfowl in the cove each morning. There is also a grassy area, cornhole, paddle boards and a covered fire pit.Overall, a great rental

We really enjoyed our stay! The property was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. The host was very helpful and quick to respond, which made the trip even easier. The location worked perfectly for us. Loved the waterfront and access for a boat.
