We loved the property and the location. Definitely a few extra steps down to the lake and dock, but well worth the investment once there. Great space overall -- kids loved the pool and the pool house, and fires by the fire pit at night. Thanks for a great house and a fun week!

Lake vacation

I have several recommendations and comments. The power was out for several hours on the first night and no one checked in that night or the next day to make sure that everything was ok. The house has a pickle ball court but I had to buy/bring my own net, this seems ridiculous. The house is on a lake with a dock but no kayaks, or paddle boards are available unless I rent them. The outdoor furniture is sturdy but not comfortable (no cushions or chaise lounges). Additionally, pieces of balloons were found on the floor which could be a choking hazard since two children under two were part of the group.

Quick get away

We had another house booked for the weekend but last minute it became unavailable due to water issues. Railey found us this house which was comparable to the one we had reserved. The house had a nice layout which accommodated our large family. The location to grocery store, Wisp, and restaurants was really convenient. Location in neighborhood and property/yard were less than we hoped for. Neighbors were very close and very loud late into the night. Highlite was the beautiful view of Wisp from the back deck of the house.

August visit

Great experience and house was lovely. The only concern is if you bring young children or elderly folks. It is quite a steep walk to the lake from the house as is the driveway. Owners and management company have done a great job in upkeep.

Perfect house for a large family get together

We had a great four days with 3 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 young children, and 1 dog. Indoor pool, hot tub, and fire pit did not disappoint (firewood provided by owners). Plenty of space for reading, lounging, and playing games. Would love to return in the summer and take full advantage of lake access.

The actual property was excellent and spacious.

We had lots of room to hang out, play games, hot tub and relax. The pool and pool room are a kid and teen paradise. We did quite a bit of cooking and kitchen was fairy well stocked with equipment. We have already alerted realty co so should be resolved but there were not enough forks even for our 15 people. Also some furniture was showing wear and breakage, but that seemed pretty typical for a year round rental. We even had a small family wedding in the living room. I would definitely come back!

Amazing Stay!

The house was in incredible condition with more than adequate space for our large group. A very fun and charming environment full of things to do in and around the house. Nearby amenities were very convenient and guest services helped us with an easy check-in and check-out process. Would recommend anyone to stay here.
