We stayed for a week over Thanksgiving. My husband and myself, and one of our sons and his wife and 2 kids had a wonderful time. The house was SO CLEAN and comfortable. It is very well designed with great views. I cooked Thanksgiving dinner in the well equipped kitchen, although I did make sure to bring specific dishes etc I knew I would need. Bring your own knives, if you'll need them, there are no sharp or serrated knives. We fished everyday, and caught 2 catfish and 2 small bream. The water level was lower than usual during our stay, but could still fish off the dock and from the yard. We used the firepit for roasting hot dogs and making s'mores, and just sitting around it talking at night. We brought badminton, corn hole, horse shoes, fishing poles and bb guns for shooting cans. The tv reception was good with rokus. Surprisingly, we tried several local bbq restaurants and they were not very good. The town of Lexington is a bit run down. We found we were better off cooking. Just sitting outside on the nice back deck or on the dock is so relaxing. There are lots of ducks, geese, and herons. All in all, it was the perfect comfortable place for us to get together and reconnect.
