    We had an amazing stay! Started out with an issue with the hot water heater but Kimberly was responsive and had plumbers out within a couple of hours and we were back in business! The home was clean, beautifully decorated, and the paddle board and kayaks were a hit! The younger people in our group also loved the game table and S’mores on the deck.

    Had a great time would recommend this property. Everything was exceptional . The decorating and decor was spot down to every detail. The ridge was stocked above and beyond every thing you could need. Spectacular views and the lake was awesome. Will definitely be returning for another stay in the future.

    This property is absolutely amazing. The views, beds, furniture, hot tub are all top notch. We stayed during July 4th and the fireworks were awesome to watch on the lake. This was a gaming meet up of friends who have never met each other after 4 years of playing games together everyday. The infinity table was the highlight of the trip, I think we used that the most, playing scrabble and monopoly. Overall it was a very memorable time and we’ll definitely be back.
