    Exactly what we needed! Great location and good place for families. We had 6 adults and two kids and plenty of space. We rented a boat and a jet ski. The property was clean and had everything needed in the kitchen. The host was responsive to questions. Would absolutely stay here again.

    We enjoyed our stay! The view was great, and the kitchen was very well equipped. Lots of space inside and out for the bunch of us. There weren’t many lamps on either level for sitting and reading, so there was a missing element of coziness. The HVAC was quite loud, so we avoided using it whenever we could. I thought the cleaning expectations on leaving, as expressed in the paperwork, were a little too strict, given the fact that the checkout time was 10 am. But none of that are deal-breakers; we would stay there again, but we would be prepared for these factors.

    My extended family was looking for a place to meet up for a long weekend, and this house ticked all the boxes. We enjoyed the outdoor area and spent most of our time swimming/skiing off the dock. It was also nice to have the separate downstairs apartment for people who wanted to stay up later by the fire. We will be back!

    We were so happy with the property. The pedal boat was a blast the kids and adults enjoyed jumping off the dock. The boat slip came in handy, we rented from a local marina. The set up was perfect, Nana and Papa had the downstairs to ourselves and the rest of the family had plenty of room on the main floor. We came from Texas and enjoyed the cool weather! Thanks for sharing your home!! Hope to come back next year, the lake was fantastic!!

    This home exceeded our expectations, it was beautiful and the perfect lake house adventure. It was spacious, clean, inviting, comfortable and it had everything we needed for our family weekend getaway. The deck, yard, dock and firepit were perfect for sitting outside to soak up some sun and to finish off our evenings with a cozy fire. We will definitely be making a return trip to this location.
