    This lake home property was just right for our family which included 7 children ages 2 - 7. Gramma and an aunt stayed in the bunkhouse, which was an awesome arrangement and adventure for the children. The others enjoyed their stay in the main house.There was plenty of seating at the main house for meals. The kitchen equipment was well stocked.We especially enjoyed the kayaks available at the beach area, where the water was clear and shallow. We rented a pontoon from a nearby business which delivered it to Lake Edward. We appreciated the beach towels which were provided.The pathways between the bunkhouse, beach, and lake home were beautiful. LeAnn was prompt in answering any questions that we had. We hope to stay again!

    We had a family wedding at Catalyst at Nature Link. This house was perfect for 12 of us. The host is amazing and it was only 12 min from the venue. The house is gorgeous and the host really knows how to run a VRBO. We all want to come back next summer to enjoy the lake!

    The property itself is very nice…it’s close though to a pretty major road, that had car noise on it all the time. Main house is well stocked with all the extras you typically bring along to a VRBO, so that was super nice. Beach is great - we had wonderful weather too, so that made it even better. It’s quite a hike between the shed, the main house and the beach… So if you have someone who is not very mobile, keep that in mind. My only complaint would be that I think the listing is very misleading with all of the photos that they show, and the fact that the rooms in the shed are additional on top of the already expensive daily nightly rates. There were 14 of us, and the listing says that it can accommodate 16 people… So we assumed we had the entire property. Upon checking in, we were informed that they assume 16 people can sleep in the main house. That means that two people are sleeping in each of the five full beds and that 14 of the houseguests are all upstairs, sharing one bathroom. I would just recommend considering all of this when booking the property… The bunkhouse looks fabulous, and that was part of what we loved, for the grandkids to be able to stay together and have a fun time. It was quite a disappointment when we found out that was going to be significantly more each night and ended up having to go purchase air mattresses to accommodate our sleeping needs.
