Guest feedback:

---------------------



"Went for a wedding and enjoyed the stay. Location was so nice locals came over after to enjoy the beautiful setting." - Jamie, Oct 2025



"Absolutely beautiful property right on the lake! We enjoyed the wonderful views, the nicely landscaped and manicured yard, the covered patio, the hot tub and the fishing. The layout of the house was great and being a single story layout made everything convenient. I especially enjoyed the kitchen with the coffee nook. It was so spacious that it made cooking easy, which meant I didn’t need to spend extra money eating out all the time. There were also a number of grocery stores nearby. Overall the house was very clean, comfortable and convenient and I would highly recommend it!" - Thomas, Sep, 2025



"Everything was perfect! Great dock and toys, the zip line was enjoyed. We loved the hot tub in the evenings. The kitchen had everything you needed." - Cynthia, Sep 2025



"Had a wonderful family vacation...pictures didn’t do it justice, as it was absolutely beautiful inside and out. Very very clean and had plenty of kitchen equipment for the 7 of us, which we appreciated. Thanks for letting our family share the lake toys (kayaks, paddle boards, and floating dock pad), we had a blast every day we were there. My little grandson even caught his first and the biggest fish (out of all of us) which made his day!! We will definitely love to revisit this home someday in the future!!" - Kevin and Tracy, Jul 2025



"The stay was great! The house was clean and the owners were quick to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend. My family wants to go back and we will definitely try to stay here again." - Suzanne, Jun 2025



"House is clean and nice! The location is awesome and there are plenty of toys and stuff for the kids to do including a zip line and swing" - Daniel, Mar 2025
