Overall, our stay was excellent! The view of the lake was stunning & there was plenty of space for all of our friends to enjoy themselves!! I recommend this location :)
Nice property w/ beautiful views. Comfy beds easily fit large group. Could use more attention to cleaning & more towels. Drive in is challenging.

I’ll start with I won’t leave a review if there was anything bad to say. Tha being said check in was a breeze. Getting connected to WiFi was a breeze. I had my family there for a few days to celebrate Christmas a week early. This chalet, lake house, or cabin was perfect with the bedroom and bathroom arrangements. The hose was clean and it had all the accommodations to cook our Christmas dinner. I recommend this place 100%.
Also I would like to add that the communication with the host was very easy and helpful as well. The only reason I had to contact the host was my misplaced email for check in.
It was a beautiful property with plenty of bedrooms and space. The screen in porch was great for gathering and talking The kitchen was well stocked even though we didn’t cook much. The view of the woods and lake was beautiful. We really had a great time. It was a great place for just hanging out and visiting each other.
Was a good space for two families to come together for some hangout time. The pool is very nearby, and we used that a lot (wasn't very crowded, which was nice). We also enjoyed using the screened in porch in the evenings. A little more seating for meals would be nice, but it was as advertised, so no real complaint there.
We love this neighborhood. The view of the lake is beautiful. We love the community pool. The house was perfect for my family gathering. We were all able to have a very nice bedroom. The kids loft and play area was so fun. I will stay again.
Very nice house. Didn’t seem to be cleaned. Counters and floor dirty, many light bulbs out, master BR had constant beeping from somewhere. Lots of dead ladybugs everywhere. TV’s didn’t seem to work.
The house was very nice with a lake view and had plenty of room to be together to eat and play games. There was plenty of nice cookware which I like, because I cook. It also had decks to sit out on and a sunroom that was nice. The only drawback the stairs were steep that went down to three bedrooms and could be a danger for little children so they have to be watched. Also, the parking on one side is steep so you need to watch and not park too close to the edge because you could step out and fall. We had to use all of the parking because we had three cars. It could use a retaining wall there. But all in all the place was great with plenty bedrooms for everyone plus a bonus room upstairs with beds and play area. The beds were comfortable and also the pillows. The pool is very nice with plenty of chairs to lounge in the sun, but if you prefer shade, they provide that also. We enjoyed our stay very much.
