We really enjoyed our stay. Being able to leave our boats docked was a great plus. The house seemed brand new, and it was just the right size for two couples to share. Our only disappointment was that the hot tub was not working correctly. This was a big rain we choose this place. Admittedly, we should have notified the manager sooner, maybe they could have fixed it.

From the owner: “Sorry you had an issue with the temperature control for the hot tub. Glad it was a simple re-adjustment. The home and hot tub are all new. Glad the boat dock and everything else worked out for you. Thanks for booking with us.”
We loved this property! It provided privacy while still being close to businesses if needed. There is another home on the property for rent, but it was far enough away away for privacy still. The house was absolutely adorable and clean! The hot tub was perfect and worked great. The owner was very responsive when needed for questions. During warm weather, this property would be a dream. They had 9 kayaks and a canoe to take out on the lake. We would love to return next summer! Highly recommend.
