Great Place!
We had a great time at this property. The game room was a lot of fun for the teenagers, as was the lake. We used the fire pit twice and enjoyed the house. It is in a nice area of town. The beds were very comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

Excellent stay for visiting family
When my grandmother passed away a couple of days before Christmas, we suddenly needed a place to accommodate incoming family--at the last minute, and during the holidays. The host was very responsive, even though we placed the booking on Christmas day. We were so lucky to find this place, conveniently located near my grandmother's neighborhood. The place was stylish and well stocked, and also offered some fun activities for the younger set and separate conversation spaces for the olders to reminisce. Would love to come back during warmer weather to take advantage of the location right on Lake Decatur. And keep your eyes open for deer--they love the stand of woods nearby!
