We loved this house! It was well equipped with the things we needed: kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets, kid supplies like a pack n play and kids' table for meals. The rooms were large and comfortable, and the outdoor spaces were so fun. This is such a beautiful spot and felt really private.

Went to the area for a wedding that was on lake only about 10 minutes away. It was a beautiful home and suited our multigenerational family perfectly. Two king bedrooms on the main level were great for us older folks. We were able to walk the steps down to the dock and it was amazing! Truly a beautiful, clean, well kept home in an amazing location. It was a nice quite neighborhood. Although we didn't cook the kitchen had everything you would need. I only wish we could have stayed for longer to enjoy the lake and the cabin more.

The house was as expected. It suited our family well. We did not use the fireplace or laundry as it was a short stay. We did use all the bedrooms, the master and another were spacious. It was a very comfortable house. The wrap around decks and setting were spectacular. Definitely will rebook next year!!

Amazing lake

We had a blast starting each morning fishing on the lake and ending the day by the fire pit. Lots of wildlife and not far from grocery store or food.
