The house was so relaxing and serene. We had plenty of space for our whole group. We had plenty to do and explore while in the area. Also, there is plenty to do right in community. The beds were comfy and the water pressure is fantastic.

We have returned to this beautiful property for a number of years. The host is excellent and communicates quickly to any concerns we might have. The house provides all the things that our family needs including a large game room downstairs with a ping pong table. There is a beautiful deck to enjoy your morning coffee. The kitchen is well stocked with what you need to cook meals. Our family enjoys spending time at the lake beach and swimming in the pool. Many of us enjoy fishing on the nearby lakes. The Hideout Community has many different amenities. One evening we enjoyed mini golf. Several enjoyed the 9 hole golf course. We highly recommend this property!

Carolyn, Thank you for being so patient while we worked to resolve the plumbing issue. I am so glad I was able to offer you a free night as compensation and, that you were able to stay! I also appreciate the amazing condition you left our home in when you departed this morning! The pictures you sent were great. It is amazing that a stay that started off on the wrong foot turned out so well. Hope to have you back some day. Have a Happy & Healthy New Year! John

Our family had a great time. The host was very informative and available if we needed anything. We enjoyed the rec center (pickleball, basketball, arcade) Had a great lunch at the clubhouse and played shuffleboard. The house is very well maintained. The ping pong table and darts were great to have in the house for all to enjoy. My favorite thing to do was sit in the chair by the fireplace and enjoy the view outside.
