Extremely spacious property. Room to relax. Well stocked. Great location. BUT note the signs about the gators before hopping in the water. The signs are true. The gators around the island have been fascinating to watch.
A group of friends and I were in Jackson to compete in an event in Madison. We wanted a place that was far enough out of Jackson to be away from crime, had plenty of room for 4 adult men, and to be on the water: this place fit the bill. While a little dated, it's very roomy, the location and security is incredible, and it's very well-furnished. I would stay here again with no hesitation!
This House is just Great. Our second time to stay here . It was My grandson's 18th Birthday .We had a wonderful time relaxing, cooking & fishing. There is a Grocery store close , as well as bowling & moves & restaurant's . The house has more that everything you need for a great weekend & the owners are Super sweet... We will be back
This was our first time at the rez and this house was perfect for our stay. It's a large beautiful location with excellent views. We could not have been happier. There was room to park our boat and launch nearby.
Beautiful views of the lake and huge yard. Quiet and peaceful. The house is at the end of a culdesac with no traffic. We are an older group so the house being one level was good. All 10 of us could easily gather in the big open den and kitchen.
Great area! Loved the layout of the house, ton of window area looking over the water, great outdoor area. We had the best space to have a graduation celebration and entertain family from out of town. The hosts were so accommodating and quick to responding to our requests. Loved the whole property and experience. Would definitely rebook in the future.
Loved the property, had everything we needed. Beautiful waking up to the sounds & views to ducks, geese & squirrels !!! Will definitely be back for some R&R !!!
Just perfect. Everything as advertised. Easy process of communication with host. Spectacular location, quiet neighborhood, peaceful. House had all the amenities and was more equipped than most places we have used. Very clean property with expansive living/dining room area. Grateful for the opportunity to stay here.
Our stay was AMAZING!!! This house accommodated EVERYONE; adults, teens and kid! Things that really stick out and intrigue me; clean house but even the floors (this means a lot, especially when its all tile), retro vibe (we love the smell, pullcord curtains, dishes, color scheme etc.), screened in porch was PERFECT. It did rain a bit so the kids were able to chill and play in the screened in portion while the adults played card games at the dining room table - ALL WHILE ENJOYING THE VIEW!!! I just cant say enough about this place. We will def be back.
This was a Beautiful Home. It is so well stocked with Dishes & ect for kitchen, you will have everything you need. the board games were fun as well . The yard was great . There are a Lot of geese & birds & its so very nice to sit outside with coffee. Close to all stores for anything you need. It was my grandsons birthday & easter too . It was just a perfect get away. The host were every helpful too . I have stayed a VRBO houses a Lot & this one was one of the best .
This was our third ( maybe fourth) year to stay here with my parents, my brother and then my husband and kids. It is such a lovely home and we always enjoy our time together so much. There is a cute little walking trail at the head of the subdivision that we walk each morning/evening. The kids and the boys liked the boats that were provided. We fished our little hearts out. The kitchen and family room is plenty big enough for all of us to spend time together and there is a nice little porch room for additional space for meals, cards, games etc. Again, we love this home and would gladly come back.

Relaxing atmosphere
Lovely location could use some renovations.
Grounds need raking old grilling equipment was not cleaned. Screened patio covered with spider webs and needed to be swept down. Inside had a mildewed odor inside. The furniture in the living room was weak and stained rug. All and all we enjoyed the location and how peaceful and quiet. The beds we comfortable and clean. The best sleep I have had in a while. The family wants to return, enjoyed the atmosphere.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alligator Island. The house was stocked with plenty of kitchen supplies and equipment. The yard was perfect for a family birthday celebration/cook out. The temperature had moderated and a light breeze made eating outside on the picnic tables fun. Our grandson fished from the property and even caught a couple of fish. The yard is very large and has places to sit so you can enjoy the views of the reservoir.
If a small group (up to a dozen or so) wanted to have a craft get together, the house has several card tables and large tables for working on craft projects. The floor to ceiling windows in the living and dining area provide beautiful views and let in lots of light. As a crafter, I was impressed with the possibilities for a crafting get together.
This house is vintage….a perfect mid century modern house. They have preserved the house as it was designed but have updated appliances. It was really neat to be in the living room with the soothing and calming views of the water. If you want a quiet place with lots of space to spread out, this may be the place for you.
This house on the reservoir is perfect for a family gathering! Plenty of space both inside and out. Will, the host, was very helpful in answering questions and providing information in a timely manner. We enjoyed our weekend stay and would recommend it to others.
We grew up skiing on The Rez and love spending time at the Lake House whenever we get a chance.
Why they chose this property
This house has been in the family for 4 generations and my sister, Janelle, and I had a chance to bring it back to life in 2012. We took over the property from family members and we have done a significant amount of work to bring the house up to modern conditions while keeping the nostalgic feel. We have been renting it out for 3 years and have a great time hosting families through other websites. We are now looking to add VRBO to our advertising to share this property with others.
What makes this property unique
Property is made up of 4 lots, which is highly unusual. The house sits on 1 lot leaving a huge yard and significant water front access/views that can't be found anywhere else on The Rez. Many have mistaken our place for a public park.
