We had an absolutely wonderful vacation, the property and lake view was breathtaking! The host was fantastic with communication with any questions or needs we had arise! The property was well maintained and the kitchen was very well stocked with essentials! Even our teen said “this is our best vacation we have taken” and we all know from a teen that is a fantastic review! We are definitely keeping this property in mind to vacation again!

We love this house, we are repeat visitors. Host was welcoming, reached out the first evening to make sure we found everything satisfactory and gave additional helpful information. We loved using the kayaks, paddle boards, and the pontoon boat on the gorgeous quiet lake. The water was perfect, clean and refreshing. The new for us outdoor space was so cozy to sit by a blazing fire and watch a movie with the grandkids during a rain shower, that was a highlight of the kids. Beds and pillows were very clean and comfortable, lots of towels and the most equipped kitchen I have ever seen, with a cabinet full of spices etc for our use. There was even a ziplock bag full of rice dedicated for phone use in event of it falling into the lake! Amazing stay, looking forward to our next visit already.

Host was very nice and communicative. There was sooooo much to enjoy on the property. I have to say, it’s the most well stocked rental Ive been in. I couldnt imagine needing to bring anything extra to stay entertained. The kitchen was beyond full of supplies. The area is quite beautiful
