    This home is nothing short of perfect. Wonderful family spaces, wonderful space for the teens to disappear. Bedrooms are spectacular, the kitchen is wonderful. We played many games of Farkel and Yatzee, did two 1000 piece puzzles, and spent many hours on the lake, the winery, and the minigolf course. A much needed respite for our family, and we couldn't ask for a better place to be. Thank you soo much.

    The home met all of our needs, two fantastic living rooms and large bedrooms with storage. The kitchen was well stocked with extra items (spices, coffee filters, great cutlery, and also had a crockpot.) there was plenty of firewood. The lower deck is so nice for gathering and private with fantastic lights. Only downside was the decks only had six chairs but we had two bag chairs packed and there also isn’t central air (window unit in the living room.) Fantastic space and we will definitely be back!!! So close to Carlos Creek (we attended a cheese pairing) and we loved the stairs for morning workouts! Thank you, George!!

    Had a lovely time with our children and grandchildren. We love the chain of lakes that we have been coming to for the past 36 years. Our family has grown so we need more space. George's house is ideal for us. It has a nice boat lift. The location is perfect also to town, or across the lake to Arrowwood. Thanks for a great week!

    The lily pad a lot of fun for our grandkids. We were able to easily cook our meals there. To note if unable to do stairs could not access the dock. Beautiful view. Enjoyed the pair of loons we saw often.
