    I think this was the most immaculate rental I have ever visited. We had our annual girls weekend here and very much enjoyed the screen porch and the view! The house was spacious and the host was very responsive. We had everything we needed and then some!

    The house was spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. The grounds were lovely -- with a huge front lawn area great for outdoor games and beautiful sloping backyard down to the water.The lake was very peaceful, and you felt like you only had to share it with the plentiful waterfowl, including geese, cormorants, and at least one osprey.The shoreline was weedy and not great for swimming, but the dock area was really nice, and the fishing was spectacular -- it became a nightly ritual for me and my three grandchildren. Once you got past the weeds on a paddleboard or in a kayak, things opened up and you could jump in and swim.All in all, a fantastic setting for a relaxing family time.

    Peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. This was the third year we have rented this house. We continue to love the property and enjoy fishing off the dock, swimming in the pond, and using the paddle boards. It's perfect for 2 families to share - there's enough room for everyone. The screened in porch is the best part of the property.

    This was our second time staying at the property and it was just as great as the first time. The property is private and a nice space to relax. The home and property are always cleans and in amazing shape! Love everything about this home and it is a nice place for families with small children to get away. Playing in swimming and beach area is a great way to spend a day with kids.

    We had a fabulous family weekend at this beautiful lake house and made lifelong memories! This is our third time here and plan to rent again!The house was spotless and full of helpful amenities. The screened porch overlooking the lake is picture perfect! We had a couple of sandhill cranes visit every morning. With a cup of coffee, what a lovely way to start the day!

    Second time staying here. The place is beautiful in every way. Just a chance to gather with family and spend time with grandchildren away from everyday duties and obligations. Kids love the place and never want to leave. They would spend the entire day in the water if we allowed it. In an effort to enjoy family and give them a little break this place fits the bill.

    This property is beautiful and our family had a wonderful stay. The lake is clean and the kids loved it. Fishing was good and the screened in porch is perfect for our 4 generation family stay.

    This property is perfect in every way. It is immaculate and very well designed. My grand babies loved the beach area and water. We played down there every day for hours. The adults loved the kayaks out on the calm and quiet lake. Everything about the area and this beautiful home was just perfect. The screened in sun room was the icing on the cake. Not only a great place to sit and relax but a great place for family meals. Loved everything about this place.

    We really enjoyed the house during our hot August weather. Lots of time spent in the water on boats and fishing. The kitchen was well equipped to feed our team of 10. We will be happy to stay again in the future.
