We just ended a wonderful week at this lovely big house. It was perfect for our extended family with enough bedrooms for all, lovely furnishings in great condition, fantastic views and lots of water toys, an abundance of paper products & supplies, and immaculately clean (thanks Delaney!). The house manager Autumn was so easy to interact with, very responsive and accommodating. This was a great house and a great vacation.

Plenty of room, nicely landscaped. Easy communication with host, no hot pads, called and they were brought over. Railing off deck going down stairs outside though is loose, seemed wobbly. Only thing is bring your own soap for showers as no soap is provided for shower/tub area. Truly a beautiful nice location

Fabulous 70th birthday celebration with grown kids and grands. The house is clean, well-equipped, and offers lots of space. The kids had a blast playing in the lake and the beach front was shallow enough for our three year old. Autumn was sweet and accommodating. She’d even coordinated with our beach equipment company to have umbrella and beach toys delivered and waiting for us
