Had a wonderful time!
We loved our time at the lake! The house was perfect for us. The golf cart was a highlight for everyone! The front deck with the view of the lake was our favorite place to hang out. We would definitely go back!

We had a great time, great communication and response from the owners. The outdoors has a lot of over grown trees/bushes, of course doesn’t impact our stay, just an observation.

Excellent find on short notice
We had to move our family get-together two days before the start. We were so lucky to find this place. An older cabin with lots of character. Plenty of space for all of us. A nice grill for cooking burgers and a fire pit for an evening fire. Great location with a view of the lake but close to shopping and swimming. Loved it.

Great place!
Loved sitting on the deck and watching the boats on the lake. The golf cart was fun to ride around in! Kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Would have liked to have a phone number before check-in for questions.

Fantastic experience
We have been away from home several months traveling as a locum anesthesia provider. Finding this property to stay in was a huge relief and comfort for us. It was clean, welcoming and perfectly located. Settling in and making it a temporary home was easy to do. We stayed here for 3.5 months, and were sad to leave, but looking forward to returning. Finding this home and it being available again is the only reason I extended my contact. Sheila and Jeff were amazing people, equally welcoming, and responsive.
