AWESOME FAMILY TIME

There were brand new high end paddle boards my kids loved!! My kids were in the water the whole time! We took the kayaks out multiple times, and saw lots of fish and birds flying around the lake. The Adirondack chairs were nice to relax on at night or watch the kids in water. The house was nice and clean and fresh. Super comfy for our large group of 12. Had everything we needed, thank you we will be back!!

Great location, some inaccuracies

Great location that were very spacious. Perfect for a party or a summer lake getaway. However, one of the beds listed ended up being an air mattress and the couch is included in the total number of beds. The couch does not pull out though. Not the deal breaker, but good to be aware. The front door code did not work. Given the proximity to the lake, some roaches and bugs were seen in the sunroom and kitchen.

Not exactly luxurious

We rented the property for the April 8, 2024, eclipse, and it was a really great place to watch it. The weather cooperated, and everyone had a good time together. However, we had many issues with the house itself. Any 1 or 2 of them would not have been a big deal, but the list just kept growing. I can't recommend this house unless the owners address some of the many problems. Here are the things we noted: * Living room TV broken * Drier tripped the breaker when we tried to use it * Coffee maker broken * Peeling linoleum and hole in the laundry room floor * Too few dishes and silverware * Sprayer arm missing from dishwasher--found it under the sink and put it back on * Living room furniture stained and sleeper sofa worn out and unusable * Grill rusted out and unusable * Outdoor recreation equipment (kayaks, paddleboards, chairs, foosball, connect 4, Adirondack chairs, hammocks) dirty, worn, broken, and/or missing. We cleaned up what we could. * Broken window in dining room, taped up instead of being repaired. Unsafe for kids. * Broken chairs in dining room and deck. * Tile falling off master bathroom shower and tub. * Knob fell off in master shower when turned * Burned out bulbs throughout * TV remotes missing batteries * Loose dogs roaming the neighborhood. While on a walk, saw a cyclist chased by 4 dogs. Scary. * Out of date binder with contact info for previous owner. It's a nice lake, and it wouldn't take too much work to make this a much nicer house.

This was a great place to stay and celebrate my birthday with my family. We also had family friends with us and our two dogs and it was perfect. The home was good size and we spent a ton of time out on the back porch and in the back yard. The views are incredible and this home is so relaxing. A great getaway. We loved to oversized connect 4 game- we played this for hours! The hammocks and firepit were great. Everything was fully stocked and clean. Am planning on staying here again!

Perfect Lake Getaway!

Wow, what an amazing lake front property! This house was perfect for our family of all ages! The house is very spacious and has such an awesome backyard that we spent most our time outside! We especially loved the kayaks, fooseball table and patio furniture under the shade. The dining room with the view of a lake was perfect for our breakfasts to start the day. The owner was so communicative and accommodating for a few custom requests. I highly recommend this property!!

Absolutely Amazing

This property and the owners did NOT disappoint me. My family enjoyed themselves to the fullest. I would absolutely do business with these owners again hands down. The house was beautiful. The lake off the dock right there is shallow, so all of my nieces and nephews could enjoy the lake water, also without knowing how to swim.

Overall we had a great time. There were three dogs belonging to the family across the road which were not leashed. Two of them were pretty aggressive and would charge toward our dogs. We wished there were step ladders at the dock for people and dogs. Thank you
