We definitely enjoy this place, clean, comfy house, loaded with everything you need, great outdoor space with a beautiful pool and hot tub to relax in. Plenty of outdoor fun for the kids with volleyball and yard games, the boys also love being able to ride dirt bikes on the property. Great location close to town and super close to the lake. This place has it all for a fun weekend away.

Thank you for the excellent review. We're glad you had a great time.
The property is full of amenities and activities for all ages. The kids were never bored and it was nice to be able to relax knowing they were having fun and safe. The property is gated and private. The host also has done an amazing job at ensuring the house is fully stocked with plenty of kitchen appliances and even first aid supplies

Thank you so much for the excellent review, Mindy.
This place has got to be by far one of the best places I ever stayed as far as stocking everything allowing dogs. Heating the pool and jacuzzi. And the yard is immaculate 11 acres of fun.
