    Perfect blended family getaway! Worked great for all ages … the 20 something’s and the family with small child. Everything you need for time away on the lake is there! I feel like they did a great job of thinking of all the little things:) Kitchen was very well stocked for all types of cooking and feeding the crew!

    Nice house layout on beautiful lakeside property. Inside is clean and fairly well-appointed. Wonderful that they allow pets! Outside amenities can use some updating and cleaning. Issues were dealt with in a timely and effective manor.

    Great place, 3 toddlers managed great! Host provided plenty of essentials including kids toys, pack and play, high chair etc. Communication and description was great. If i had to improve anything it would be toliet paper quality and clarify the bunk bed room has no door, its a converted den/rec room. Which is fine but not exact going to work for everyone. Overall great experience!

    We had a fantastic stay at Better Lake Than Never! The home was exactly as described - clean, comfortable, spacious, and thoughtfully decorated. Marc the host was incredibly responsive and made check-in a breeze. We especially appreciated home away from home comforts such as a surplus of fresh towels and a well-stocked kitchen with high quality cookware and utensils. The large jetted tub was clean and so very relaxing, not to mention the provided kayaks, life vests, fishing rods, tons of games - even a full badminton set and a foosball table - made our stay that much more pleasant and memorable. Since Better Lake Than Never is pet friendly, we were able to bring our shih-poo along with us, giving us peace of mind while we were away, as well as giving her the opportunity to enjoy her very first vacation! Being right on the water was absolutely beautiful! The retractable awning was a huge plus, as it allowed us to eat lunches outside in comfort. Fishing off the boat dock was so much better than expected. We caught several large catfish, largemouth bass, bluegill, perch, crappie, and a pike! We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!-The Berkeypile Family (and Izzy the dog)
