    Our family enjoyed the stay very much. The property had the bed space for 12 of the 14 of us with the other two using air beds to supplement. The kids had a great time in the garage with the ping pong, fooseball, and corn hole games. Truth is, even we adults joined in at times as well. Having that space included in the air conditioning is a huge plus. The only flaws in the property center around the bedroom on the main floor. This room has no drapes or blinds on the windows to block out the early morning sun. My wife and I used this room and that made it difficult to sleep beyond about 5:00 am. The second flaw in that space is that when we went to bed at night, we closed the door and that took away two of the five bathrooms for the rest of the family. A sliding door or even some drapes to close off the sleeping area from the hallway leading to the bathrooms would go a long way towards solving that problem. Otherwise this was a great place for our family gathering. There is plenty of space for all and we never felt cramped.

    The house was everything we wanted and needed. Killer views and architecture. 5 min drive down to the water and watched the fireworks from the deck.

    My family and I gathered here from states in every direction. We had a wonderful time. It was the perfect space for our five families. There is plenty of room to spread out and have some time to yourself or to all join at the table for some card games and dominos. The scenery is beautiful. The boat and beach access were just down the road and very convenient. Ashley was very responsive to any needs we had although there weren’t many at all. The home provided all of our needs for linen, bathing, cooking, and fun. The garage has several games to play for outdoor fun as well. Thanks again for having us at your lodge!

    Stayed here because it offered plenty of space for four friends who hold an annual golf trip. We all had our own room and bathroom and it was very comfortable. House was clean and spacious.

    Five senior women came to relax and enjoy the fall weather and view of the lake. There's not much of a view because of the overgrown trees.The outside looks uncared for. Not particularly welcoming. The house is very dark inside. Lighting needs attention. Hard to find wall switches and many don't work. Bad hall connection near upstairs bedroom. Kitchen is well stocked, and spacious. However, ceiling fan is coated with caked on dust. Certainly hasn't been cleaned in a long time. The house has a moldy or musty smell as though it hasn't been used or occupied in quite some time. One guest was congested by the smell. The back deck railing is in poor repair with rotting wood making it dangerous.There was no notification as to where we could find cushions for the outdoor chairs. We followed the check out rules but there was certainly plenty of old items in the pantry. And there was no trash can outside so we carried it home to be disposed of. When I was there 6 years ago it was a new listing and lovely. The owner needs to do some work to make it inviting to the guests. We had a good time because we were there for a quiet getaway but it would have been nicer if it were fresher and more inviting.
