Could have been better. Cockroaches, Wi-Fi not working, refrigerator ice machine broken etc.

Cockroaches, broken appliances, amenities not working, and overall cleanliness were all issues during our short stay. I assume just poor management. The good....pretty nice location although no good beach access but the lake works well, decorated nicely, paddle boards and beach equipment were all convenient.

Wonderful

Our stay was much needed for our family as we celebrated a birthday and a baby shower for my daughter. The sunset during the baby shower was absolutely amazing. We could not have asked for a better view. The house was very clean, perfect location and had everything we needed. Brian was wonderful to work with and so easy to get in touch with and always responded right away to our requests. We Would definitely stay again. Thank you Brian!! :)

As advertised

The property was exactly as I expected it to be from the listing and my family had a wonderful time! The beach was an easy walk and very quiet this time of year. Everything we needed for the beach was provided and the paddleboards were a nice bonus.
