    We had a great time enjoying this property. The patio and dock were our favorite spots. We enjoyed it so much we booked it for next year!

    Great communication from the outset. Very helpful. Great place with great views and lake front. Perfect for a family. Daughter loved the binoculars to look around the lake from the patio and dock.

    We stayed here with our family of 5, including 3 adult children. There was plenty of space for all of us, with plenty of sleep space and a nice open space in the kitchen and living room for family to hang out together. The pictures are accurate— this home is clean, bright, and inviting. The kitchen and bathrooms were thoughtfully well stocked and we had everything we needed. The setting is serene, with quiet neighbors and a beautiful view of the lake. We slept well, beds and furniture are comfortable. Thank you to Katie for being such an inviting and helpful host. We would definitely love to stay here again when vacationing in the area.

    I recommend this lovely home! It is wonderfully situated on Little Glen Lake allowing all of the fun activities in the lake. It was clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. There were plenty of comfortable beds for all of your guests. We had excellent communication from the property manager plus easy check in and check out information.

    Charming house. Very clean and well appointed. Many comfortable bunks. Had absolutely everything we needed. No fire pit for s’mores (gas) but nothing to complain about! Perfect stay - we booked for next year!

    We had a great week! We loved the house. It was wonderful. Great location. Kids loved the sandbar and boating. Short drive into town. Couldn’t ask for more!

    This property on Glen Lake was an absolute delight. The lake's crystal-clear waters made it easy for the kids to play in the water all day, literally. The sand bar went at least 100' out, so our kids didn't event need lifejackets. We hooked our pontoon boat on the mooring ball, which was super convenient. Glen Lake offered endless opportunities for tubing, wakeboarding, relaxation and sunset watching. The house totally surpassed our expectations - it looks better in real life than their pictures. The owners' meticulous attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the property, from the inviting living spaces to the well-appointed bedrooms. The interior design created a cozy haven where we could unwind after a day of exploring the beauty of Glen Lake. Our 4 kids absolutely loved sleeping in the queen bunkbeds! The last huge plus for this property is the amount of parking. When visiting popular destinations, parking can often be a source of frustration. However, that was not the case here with 3-4 parking spaces! Great location, incredible house, we'll be booking again!
