Beautiful, Cozy, Spacious, AMAZING
This was our first stay at this particular property. I booked it last minute for overdue time away. It was absolutely what I needed. Beautiful home nestled on a quiet cove, the host was extremely prompt in replying to questions. I could not have stayed at a better place and I've stayed at quite a few on Lake Sara. The first night we knew we would be back and enjoy many more at the property. A+++

quite neighborhood
Inside the house was newly painted and fresh. The outside was a mess, landscaping was not completed. The owner met a landscape contractor while we were there to get the landscaping started so that should be taken care of shortly. All in all, a nice little place to have some laughs and get away from the grind.

We rented this home for the weekend. We were there for a wedding. We needed a place close to the venue that accepted small dogs. The property was very clean and stocked for our needs. Unfortunately, it was cold so we couldn't enjoy the outside amenities. I would rent this property again if we're in the area in the future.
