Views are beautiful, lots of wild life to watch. Fire pit was amazing and lots of wood provided. Just needed to buy a couple bundles of split wood to get it going because the logs are huge! Loved being close to the city but not in the middle of it.also we had a fairly minor issue in the middle of the night and had to wake the host. Even in the middle of the night he was prompt with with a return call and nice. Would definitely stay again.

This was perfect for our family. It was the perfect hub for kids and grandkids. Plenty of room, fishing on the lake, playing in the backyard, close to the park and golfing. I had no complaints! It is close to the airport, but far ebough away we reaally didnt hear them unless we were outsidw. The kiddos loved watching the row teams on the lake in the morning as well!

Everything was fine except there were no tissues provided and, because of that, we had to use toilet paper to blow our noses. That would not have been so bad if there had been enough toilet paper provided, but there wasn’t! We had to go buy some toilet paper to make it through our stay.

Stacey, thank you for staying at our place. The lake is continuing to rise due to increased rainfall. Hopefully that trend continues and the dock and boathouse can be better utilized. Look forward to seeing you next year. Thank you!

Relaxing Getaway

Amazing property! More than enough room for all the ladies to getaway and relax. Coffee on the deck with the lake as our view was a favorite. Closing to Old Market District and great restaurants. Great amenities provided. A relaxing float on the lake which had access to the water from property was perfect!
