Girls trip 2024

We had a great time- place was right on the water, with a sandy bottom. Was a bit warm, but the fans they provided, was a huge help. Weather was great! We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Check in was easy. Nice kitchen. Very clean space. Bathroom was very clean. It is right near a public park/beach area. We didn't check out the park, but being close to it wasn't bad. No extra noise, etc. We caught fish off the dock. We had a good time.

Girls Weekend

We had a great girl’s weekend at this beautiful property. The owners have thought of everything to be sure that their place is well appointed. There were plenty of towels and paper products. The kitchen had everything you could need. The house was well maintained, clean and just adorable. What an amazing view!

Very relaxing

Very nice house and accommodating for our five adults and 6 year old. Canoe is nice to use and go fishing. Having the firewood right there to buy is convenient for the firepit. The beds are comfortable and linens & towels are top notch! Apprecitated at a rental! Nice quiet place. The lake is a bit smaller than we expected, but clean and great for swimming. Would recommend!

Perfect get away!

This was the perfect place for our Mother-Daughters get away! The house was amazingly clean with a well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. While we spent very little time indoors, the living area is well sized and the shelves are stocked with books and games to be enjoyed in front of the little fireplace during cooler months. The lake is beautiful, clean and clear making it the perfect view while sipping morning coffee on the deck, and dinner at dusk when the sky reflected its beauty across the water. So peaceful and relaxing! Evening fires outside, near the quiet lake were the perfect way to end the day. We are already making plans to go back next year and highly recommend!!

Family friendly and relaxing!

We had a great time! We came for a weekend with two friends and a couple of toddlers. Plenty of room for everyone, and the property was incredibly kid-friendly. Directly next to a playground, and lots of grass to run around. The beach attached to the property had a gradual sandy bottom that the three-year-olds loved. The back deck was amazing, with lots of seating options. Inside the house the bedrooms were really spread out so there was lots of privacy there as well. It's an all sports wake during the daytime hours, but the kids loved watching the boats and jet skis go by. Would come again!

Fantastic location!

Was easy to find the property following the directions provided. Had a hard time getting into the lock box but the property/location was fantastic! The surrounding location was beautiful roads to travel around. Stayed with my husband and our 4 kids. The younger ones absolutely loved the sandy shallow private swimming area right outside the cottage. The teens spent most of the week out on the paddle boat. Even talked dad into taking one ride. Everyone really enjoyed fishing. They caught plenty of sun fish and blue gill and a few bass. Shout out to Jackie's airport restaurant they had the best breakfast and dinner we had! We all had a great time.

Restful Week

The weather was perfect - 80s during the day and 60s at night. Enjoyed using the paddleboat, canoe, and rowboat. The cottage was very clean and stocked with everything you may need. Only down side of the week was the fish were not biting. Definitely would love to rent again.

Very Relaxing

We had a spectacular week at the lake! We were on and in the lake every day, and had a fire most nights. There was a great breeze, so we spent a lot of time on the deck. While it is an all sports lake, the no wake periods in the morning and early evening were perfect for kayaking and paddle boating! The owners are great to work with! A storm knocked out the power the morning we planned to check in. And John kept us informed about the status and offered to let us come up the next day. Thankfully it was back on quickly, and we made it with no delays.

Great little lake house

The house was extremely clean the lake has a great Sandy Beach to walk into although I will say the lake is extremely active with jet skis and speed boats flying by a little scary but doable there's a great little public Beach right next door the only downfall to this property is there is no air conditioning or dishwasher but the homeowner did provide fans for every bedroom and two of the bedrooms also have a ceiling fan as well as the kitchen the homeowners could not have been more friendly or easy to work with
