Family reunion

Great for us, kids enjoyed game room and plenty of comfortable space. Clean and all we needed for a great time. Please ask your staff to watch for a car key fob that I lost while there, may not be at the house but could have slipped into a corner somewhere, thanks

Great home, highly recommend

Stayed with 2 families, really enjoyed all the activities in the house. The only weird thing was there were cracked drinking glasses in the cabinets. The pillows also aren't great. Overall though was a great rental and we had a great time.

Simply Amazing Property

Everything about this property was perfect for my family of 14. We had a age range from 79 years to 6 months old. Game room and Theater was a big hit. Spacious home and yard with tree swing. Jacuzzi was hot when we arrived and the BBQ was huge. The whole house was beautiful inside and out. 3 minute walk to the Lake. Everyone had a Blast…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
