Garden City Family Lake House

We stayed here for an extended family trip, and the home was exactly as promised—clean, comfortable, and a great setup for our group. The only drawback was communication with the host. I had sent a message with questions before our arrival and didn’t receive a reply until the day of, when it was too late to be helpful. During our stay, the power briefly went out, and we didn’t hear back from the host for about 12 hours. Nothing was an emergency, and it didn’t impact our trip, but I was surprised by the lack of responsiveness. Overall, we had a great time, but communication could be improved.

My family had a reunion at this location……… It was absolutely perfect. I absolutely loved the huge deck outback grass to play games and we were lucky enough to be there the weekend of raspberry days and catch the boats all lit up on the water as well as The fireworks from the hot tub… I loved that they had large pots and pans and plenty of utensils and kitchen supplies with a large family reunion…… I’m usually disappointed that the pots and pans are tiny and small and not enough of them…

Beautiful home!! Close to lake and close to shakes!!

Great house, good location

Nice property with beautiful views of the lake. It worked well for our multi-family reunion. Some of the beds were not very comfortable, but it had the best stocked kitchen of the several large homes we've used for our reunions.

This home was perfect for our family get together with multiple families

Our family really enjoyed the big backyard where we played badminton, water games, baseball, soccer, bubbles, and especially the hot tub! The outdoor shower was a great addition to use when we returned from the beach and needed to wash all the sand off. Our little ones especially loved finding the secret room that they hid in when it was time to go to bed!! But the BEST of all was the spectacular view of the lake!! On the other hand there was one downside and that was the A/C did not work in the bedrooms above the garage. Our solution was to open up the windows at night and get it cooled down then in the morning we would close them up before it got hot and it kept the temperature around 75° which lasted until 8:00pm then we would start the process over again! It worked for us!

Great location, view and property. Would rent there again.

This property was perfect for our big family. Plenty of room for kids, and other activities to all go on at the same time. Record outdoor temperatures made sleeping in the upper rooms a challenge the first night, but once it cooled down, it was great! We loved the big back yard perfect for games, hot tubing, out-door movie at night, bbq grilling, etc. Kitchen was so well equiped; two refrigerators/freezers (so great for alot of people). We experienced a power bump one night as a result of a local storm. Property mangrs/owner responded quickly to problems that occured. We would definitely stay here again!!!

We loved staying here. The listing is accurate and the house was very well stocked with everything we needed for cooking meals. The view of the lake is amazing and so relaxing. We highly recommend this home and hope to stay here again.
