The boat was a blast to drive around the lake for our happy hour. We also loved that the tv had a lot of apps and that we could watch all our football games. Everyone said their beds were comfortable. The town has done a great job with recovery efforts and the lake is at full pond. Great trip!"

"The house itself was wonderful. Large dining room and living room. Great windows to look at the lake. Clean and well kept. Easy to find and close to everything. One thing we did not see and would have been nice to know was that there're no stairs to the lower level where 4 of the beds are from the inside. The only way to get to them was from the outside. We also knew there were stairs down to the lake, but did not realize there was about 6 flights of steps down. It was fine for my husband and I, but not for my parents who are older. We would stay again, just maybe with a different group."
