Beautiful views, spacious house. Beds weren’t too comfortable and we had some issues with the neighbor.

Great location for a family graduation and central hang out point.Was very busy hardly spent any time around the property.But very beautiful with lots and lots of deer.
Home was wonderful. We loved the home having absolutely everything we needed to make the 7days worth the stay. They had all the necessities we needed up to the hygiene products that we could’ve used. Fully stocked with shampoo, toothpaste anything you can think of it was stocked with towels and blankets. We brought our own life jackets but they provided us with some. Cons-would be for a big family of 9,we could have used a bigger trash can outside or be aware of trash pick up or disposals offered. We had an animal in the trash one night. Owners did offer to come remove the trash that day. I would have loved to have a vacuum to use. I like to leave the home clean when I leave properties. Not all renters do but I love to leave it how I entered. If your wanting to watch tv there is one main room down stairs with a tv and one bedroom on main floor with a tv. No others are in the homes main living room. So kids played games during storms. I would have liked to have known that at the time the lake was 8ft below normal. For boating options. We did rent a boat off getmyboat.com but was not able to utilize our dock due to the low water was.It did not stop us from docking close to our property at townvil landing with in two minuts from rental. The minors of the lake and trash issue would not stop me from renting again. The water was perfect for swimming and fishing. The home was completely roomy and comfy. We loved the fact that the community fed the local deer by us.
