Lovely, warm, and comfortable home. Extremely clean and well equipped. Loved that we could bring our dog and especially appreciated the fully fenced yard!

Absolutely beautiful rental house, with an extremely well stocked kitchen, perfect hot tub and fire pit, and plenty of water toys. This location is also extremely dog friendly, with dog beds, toys, bowls, and a completely fenced in side and back yard for dogs to run. (I'm actually surprised more places don't do this.)

WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAYING AT THIS LOCATION!!The property is as advertised. Easy to get to. Very well appointed kitchen with anything you need!!! (we even used a zester and a meat thermometer they had). The sleeping was very comfortable on the beds we used with clean linen (including a cloth for make up removal).The outside is nice, the pictures do make it look different than it actually is but it is BEAUTIFUL. (The pics made me assume I'd see the full lake from the house, but your visibility is of a small cove - but walk down to the dock and you have a better view and kayak and paddle boards for a 1-2 minute "float" to the full lake). On arrival the Hot Tub wasn't working and the propane tanks were empty so I reached out (at 11pm) and by 11 am the following morning all was fixed and working fine. That is great response and service. The one issue we had was that our car was hit in the very private, large driveway. The only two folks that came in the driveway were the Hot Tub service person and the gentleman who delivered the Propane. The property manager said they reached out to the owner and were told the cameras are live only with no recording so they couldn't see what happened. It's disappointing that service people didn't take ownership of their actions. PLEASE don't let this sway you from the property as it is amazing and you will love every minute.

Great property, especially for multiple families with a dog. The markdown on the review is for an important detail omitted from the advertised property listing: Guests do NOT have access to the covered boat slip. Not the end of the world but something oddly left out of the posting for an expensive house. You can park your boat at the floating dock but it will be uncovered. Additionally, I recommend providing taller steps or a ladder to access the floating dock. Water levels are low and the dock is quite a bit lower than the fixed dock.

Thank you for your review and feedback. The lifts are calibrated for the owners boats, so that is why they are not available to guest use. Record low waters levels have been an issue this season, but hopefully not in the future.
