For the price, it was a great stay. Plenty of space and a nice living room, kitchen setup.House smells a little musty, I think it’s coming from the porch. I would suggest the property management schedule a deep spring cleaning.
I stayed here for 3 nights. The house is in a good location with everything you need close by. Very reasonably priced to be lakefront and have a dock!!
Everything was wonderful. Beautiful location. Easy walk to the dock. Will be doing again.

Vacation
The location was beautiful, with excellent sunset views and a private dock. If it had been just me and the boys fishing it would have been excellent. This was a fishing and sight seeing trip with my wife. She didn't feel secure with no locks to the back doors only a bar for the patio door. The drains for the sink and shower were slow and the layout was weird with having to go through one bedroom to get to the other.
We gathered our teenagers, my mom, sister, and uncle & aunt to spend a few days together. We rented a pontoon and a jet ski. We kayaked and paddle boarded to a little island. The house was roomy and comfortable with everything we needed. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back!
Beautiful view of the water!! Had a dock to use for the boat we rented all weekend accommodated for our cars to be parked near by due to having the boat the rest of the day we checked out. Thank you!!
The house was perfect for my husband and I. Great sunsets from the porch or dock. Everything was spotless. Communication was always quick and helpful. We will definitely book again, really enjoyed the location and home. The only thing a little odd is you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other 3rd bedroom. Not a problem for us but others might be uncomfortable with this.
For the money, the house is a good value. It is not nearly as nice as others we have rented in the area, but it was about half the price. The bedroom setup is a bit funky, but workable. I would not rent this house with if you have more than 4 people - 1 bathroom makes it difficult. If I am going to nitpick, the house should have a simple toaster a tea kettle and a full size frying pan....like I said,overall the home was a good value, but these simple additions would have made our stay better.
