Beautiful Home on the water
We took our grandkids for a three night stay, four adults and five kids. This place was perfect - very spacious, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We caught lots of fish right off the dock. The home was just as pictured. There is just so much space to hang and enjoy - we didn’t even get to use them all. This is by far one of the best VRBO rental we have ever used.

Lovely Lake House
This is such a cute home with lots of character and being able to step out the back door and be right on the lake was so nice. It had all the amenities we needed and there is a convenience/bait store close by as well if you need to pick up anything. We spent most of our days fishing or exploring some of the state parks that are close by. Had such a lovely time that we are already talking about coming back for another trip.

Great space and views
Our family of six adults really enjoyed all the space we had to spread out. The kitchen is large and the dining area is Lars also. The kitchen could use a little updating and I gave the host a couple of suggestions for things that might need to be fixed….. overall we would definitely return.

Wish we could have stayed longer
Very nice property. Grandkids thoroughly enjoyed the kayaks, swimming and fishing. I got to spend family time with my siblings who live close by. Only wish we could have stayed longer ( school schedules dictated this). The appliances are a little outdated but nothing we couldn't handle. Melanie was very responsive. Will definitely return

Great experience
Our car broke down about four miles from the house on a Sunday afternoon. We were verging on panic, even after we ordered a tow truck because we couldn't figure out how to get to the house. I called the property owners and they sent a family member to pick us up and brought us some food because everything was closed. So happy.

Relax with a beautiful view
This house is spacious, clean, and well equipped. A unique feature is the screened porch which overlooks a large lake, making it another ‘room’ for playing games, reading or just relaxing at the end of the day. The house has 2 king bed master bedrooms, as well as other sleeping spaces, so lends itself to gatherings of friends or family. Communication with the owner is easy and friendly.

Lake view
This house is as advertised. It has a wonderful lake view and the owner very kindly sets you up with little things like hand soap and toilet paper. Small things that equal you feeling like they want you there. The screened porch is where we spent most of our time. I would have liked it to be a little cleaner there but this is a very nice property and we had a great time! The lake is just gorgeous and there was never a bad view!

This review is concerning the issue of wheelchair accessibility only, which is important to me since I am disabled and either wheelchair bound or walk with a walker. If you've read the other reviews, you know that this place does indeed consist of a nice house sitting on an incredible lake with lots to do. However, in two locations in their description the owners say that their place is "wheelchair accessible". One location states: "Wheelchair accessible, Front entrance to house has a 2 inch max lip to entrance door." First of all, there is indeed a 2 inch max lip from the front stoop to the front entrance to house; however, there is a 6 inch step-up from the ground to the front stoop, neither of which are "wheelchair accessible." Second, there is no bathroom shower or tub which could be considered "wheelchair accessible". Third, the beautiful screened-in porch is five steps above the house level, which is prohibitive for someone in a wheelchair. This is a beautiful property, please don't diminish it by overstating its Amenities, which is critical to a disabled person. We asked you to change your advertisement, but apparently you did not.

Making Memories
Spacious house. Family of 7 (5 adults, 2 littles) had plenty of room. Screened porch was an added bonus. Sunsets are beautiful from there or the dock. Upon arrival, I had to contact host for lockbox code for house keys and to kayaks. It wasn’t entered on our booking. One of the tvs in the bedrooms was busted. Hot water heater for the bathrooms had to be reset a few times. Melanie has purchased a new one, but hasn’t had time between rentals to install. These concerns were relayed to Melanie; communication was great. Husband and son took boats and both had a place on the covered dock. Fishing from the dock was good. Caught catfish, bream, and shellcracker. Caught a turtles too. Caught bass out on the lake.
