This was probably the most well appointed rental we’ve ever stayed at. They thought of everything! The grounds are lovely! The views of the lake are beautiful! The different outdoor spaces are charming and thoughtfully laid out with lots of options for seating. The inside is spacious and airy. The beds were super comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was amazing. The kitchens, yes two, had plenty of gadgets and small appliances. The host had fully stocked keurigs on both levels! Parking was ample. This was the perfect home base for our son’s wedding. This rental deserves every star!

Great home and location for family getaway!

We hosted a “grandma camp” for our family at this location. The house is out in country but close to lawrence and clinton lake. The kids loved going to the beach at clinton lake and the 5 acre property. The owner was very helpful when we called with questions!

Dans review

Had a great time. Beautiful property. Only complaint was in the upstairs bunk bed bedroom there are no shades in the top windows. They are on the east side so when the sun comes up it gets pretty light early.We would stay again for sure.
