We are glad you enjoyed your stay. I have noted your request and will see what we can do. Hope you come again.
This property was perfect for myself, kids and grandchildren. The communication was top notch, home supplied us hours of fun at the house. If we are up this way again we all would love to stay here again. The home had all the amenities to keep you entertained and we were able to enjoy the lake and it’s view.

James and Family
We had a great time by the lake with the kids. View was beautiful, kids had a blast fishing (caught a 27 inch catfish!) and jumping off the dock. Had a couple friends over and enjoyed the lovely evening views. Kids enjoyed kayaking. We appreciated the extra towels for the lake. Overall, we had great family time and would definitely consider coming back.

Thank you for your review. Glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your return.
We had a great time. It was a homey feel and a peaceful setting. The property was well-maintained, clean, and had something for ecertone to enjoy. It was a perfect place to enjoy the water and time with family.
Very nice home. Good location with beautiful views. More amenities than we needed. It was my first trip to the lake. My friends were impressed with the location and are going to bring their families back and rent it out also.

Great House & Great Outside/View
The house has a great layout and very clean. Outside space in the back has great seating areas and spectacular view! We have stayed here twice and enjoyed it both times. The house had everything we needed and alot of extras.
This house has everything you could ever want and more! The home was very clean and has plenty of extras that arent listed. We had 3 families with a bunch of little children and there was plenty of room and fun to be had. We will definitely be back again!

The View!
The property was amazing. House was clean and notes around the house were helpful. Loved all the seating that allowed my family to easily gather together and catch up. Dock was great for the pontoon. You could sit and just take in the view for hours. We had a fantastic stay.
Gem of a piece of property with plenty to do indoors and out. Exceptional amenities including fenced playground, pedal boat, kayaks, innumerable seating groupings out of doors, two firepits, a telescope, board games galore and fascinating books. Home decor conducive to lake front enjoyment. Owner quickly responsive to questions. We had a wonderful time.
This house was amazing. It was well stocked with all the amenities needed to enjoy time on the lake and on rainy days. The house was clean and the appliances were new. My boys even caught a 30 lb catfish off the end of the pier. Loved every minute we were there.
Property is located in a quiet area right on the lake. Has a ton of water toys, kayaks, paddleboards etc. and more outdoor gathering spaces than we could use. House has two decks, two upper sitting areas above the lake and a great dock/boat house excellent for gathering. Kids loved the game room complete with arcade game! Highly recommend
The property was beautiful the view of the lake was just unbelievable the house was super clean everything I expected or beyond what I expected it was a great location plenty of parking had a playground for the kids outdoor kitchen sitting area it had a dock and a deck at the lake that had kayak sits at
disposalr. I would highly ecommend this property .foanybody thaa vfor work it was just a beautiful property

From the owner: "Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you return."
Love this property. Perfectly located. House sits up on a hill with a great view of the lake. My daughters normally book these things but I was forced to do it this time. Its my actual first booking (not my first out of pocket, if you know what I mean). Hopefully we will be able to go back. Same house. Why ruin a good thing. Thanks to the hosts for an awesome stay. My Grandsons 15th birthday will always be remembered.
Home was very nice & had lots of ammenities & beautiful view. Overall on a high level it was clean but could use a bit more attention to the details. There were hairs on the bathroom floor when we arrived. The coffeemaker had coffee ground in it that were covered in green mold. Evidently the cleaning person forgot to empty the grounds & clean the coffee maker. The Dishes were not real clean. Had to rewash coffee cups. Otherwise, the cleanliness was okay.

Coldest & Rainest Memorial Day Weekend in over 100 Years
This is a beautiful property. Inside is wonderful and very comfortable! There is a game room and a cabinet full of games for all ages! Thankfully! There are Smart TV's in the living room, game room and every bedroom! The kitchen equipment is a little lacking. The outside is fantastic! There is a fenced playground with gates if you have small children. There is a game shed outside with outside games. There are several seating areas, two with fire pits. There are also several seating/table areas and a brand new gas grill. There is a brand new deck by the water and a dock with canoe, kayak and paddle boat. I only wish we had weather that we could have used the outside.

Liked: Check-in, location
Sadly disappointed
I hate to leave bad reviews but I have to be honest here. This house was not worth the price. IMO it should’ve been $100 less a night.
We checked in once it was dark and half of the downstairs had no curtains or blinds so there is no privacy downstairs. This wouldn’t be an issue if the neighbors weren’t close. At night we weren’t comfortable because we didn’t know if anyone could see in. There’s a curtain on the big front window but it only covers half of the window so the other half is left open.
In the homes description it states there is a baby gate at the home. Usually baby gates are used at the stairs in my experience. Well the baby gate wasn’t wide enough for the top or bottom of the stairs so we couldn’t use it.
Unfortunately neither fire pits worked. Both fire pits igniters were broken. The fire pit closest to the house could be used if you hold a lighter to light the gas instead of using the igniter but you had to hold the button down the whole time. A big reason we chose this house was to roast s’mores with my kids and this couldn’t be done safely or enjoyably. The fire pit near the water had an active wasp nest in it with a ton of wasps so could not be used at all. This really upset my kids so of course upset me.
The karaoke machine had no batteries in the microphones. It required 2 batteries per microphone. There were 2 batteries total in the kitchen drawer but they were dead. We had to purchase our own batteries and then the one microphone still didn’t work so the karaoke machine couldn’t be used either. We left the batteries for the next guest.
I will leave the worst part last…there is a jacuzzi style tub in the master that my toddler was excited to “swim” in. Well it was full of pubic hair. Yes….pubes. I have photos for proof (disgusting, I know). I do not think the cleaning company is doing a thorough job as there were a lot of dirty areas in the house. The sheets did not smell clean, they definitely were not washed in between guests. There were also stains in the sheets.
I am sure I’m leaving out some things but we left disappointed with the home. We enjoyed our vacation but sadly did not enjoy the house. Half of the amenities we went here for couldn’t be used. Hopefully the owners will read this review and work on some things to leave a better experience for the next guest.
