Had a wonderful stay. The house was clean and comfortable. We loved the views and the location was close to conveniences. We would have like to have a few more staples items in the kitchen but it was fine.

Thank you, Rebecca! We're delighted to hear that you had a wonderful stay and found the house clean, comfortable, and in a convenient location. We appreciate your note about the kitchen staples—that’s helpful feedback, and we’ll keep it in mind. We'd love to welcome you back anytime.
We had a blast hanging out on the floating platform and had a fire at the fire pit one night. The house was great and had one of the easiest check-in, check-out procedures I've encountered. We had an awesome time!

Thank you, David! We love this feedback. We are so glad you and your guests had a great time! We hope you will be back soon!
Great time and perfect weather to enjoy the lake. We had events that took us away from the Lake house during the day so we did t get to enjoy it long. Next time we’d like to book longer to enjoy the full amenities.
We cannot compliment the property manager of this home enough!!! Brett and his assistant went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. Our grandkids came and he made sure the game room was ready for when they arrived. They had so much fun playing air hockey, ping pong and video games.
We had a family of 16 and found the home had only one medium size refrigerator and Brett secured a second for us. Future families will definitely appreciate the additional fridge!!!
Finally, there were a few items not provided but given the level of treatment we received from Brett, we bought a grill set and some kitchen hand towels to leave at the home as well as some storage bags, dish soap and spices. Just an FYI, you may want to bring your own TP and tissues:)
This family get together was to celebrate my husband's birthday and our anniversary and it was a great place to entertain on the lawn!
Finally, beautiful sunsets, quiet mornings and fun afternoons on the water are there waiting for you!!
You will not regret reserving this beautiful home and we plan to reserve again for next year.
We had a great time. It was my dads first vacation since his stroke. The house is perfect for a wheelchair. We were able to get him all the way to the dock to get on our boat! It’s a little climb back up but that’s just burning calories! We will be back. Beautiful home on the lake. Memories made with our whole family there!

Thanks, Sheri! Glad the house worked perfectly for everyone in your group!
My family rented this house and the house next door. A ton of room for our growing families! House was well stocked, and most importantly, clean! Would book again!

Thanks Alexa, glad you all had an great time and plenty of room!
The property is beautiful and we enjoyed our stay here, there were a couple of issues, the property list that there’s a boat ramp that shared between two properties, but it is very narrow and not usable for a boat of any size. The listing needs to be modified, to reflect this fact. Also the docs on the water are lovely, but this particular part of the lake no matter how many pads you put on the side of the boat, it gets heavy traffic, we had two boats there. Both of them were damage due to wake, rocking the boats back-and-forth against the dock. Overall it was a good stay other than the problems I have listed.

Mike, Thanks for your stay and enjoying Sunset Shores- The Homestead! We have used the ramp to get our boats into the water without any problems. All docks have protective coating around them for the boats. However, they do need to be tied down well.
