Great house

We had a great stay at this property. The house has lots of things to do with all kinds of games. The hot tub was really nice especially with a lake view! The HOA was VERY intense but the owners were helpful and made things easy to deal with. This was definitely our favorite house we’ve stayed at!

The property had an array of things to do, games, pool, air hockey, hot tub. Things could use a little updating though. But all in all we had a wonderful time.

The house was very nice and the community was peaceful. Large bedrooms and great game room. The kitchen area had plenty of space for a family to gather and cook and The view of the lake is gorgeous. There where some small things we noticed that could use work. Some windows don't have screens and the sliding glass doors need some TLC. The game room pool table did not have the correct balls and the air hockey table needs a new puck and was unstable. With that being said we will be booking again next year

The house is great for families, very spacious and clean. Our family of 6 had a great time during our weekend stay. The game room kept kids occupied for hours. The playground and community beach are accessible right next door. We definitively recommend it.

We ended up being evacuated from another vacation and found this listing after scouring the internet for somewhere to stay that could meet the size of our group. This house helped to salvage what was left of our trip! The owners were very quick to respond. There was some normal wear and tear on the house, but nothing that deterred us during our stay.

I don’t think we’ve ever had such attentive owners. Within 3 minutes of sending a message, we had a reply and a bit later things were sorted. Excellent communication!Even with a full house, including kids, the two bathrooms in the common areas were plenty if anyone is worried. No one ended up waiting eve once.You can’t beat the location! Right next to the beach area with tons for the kids to do. Or, if you want it quieter, walk down the path to the lake. Take a chair, read, dip your feet in, or get a tube and float! Just no “boats” as it’s not the official slip and you and the owner could be penalized. The pool table is well-used but very playable. Cues weren’t trashed and the balls are in decent shape…plenty of chalk! The foosball table was in good shape and shuffleboard table was also well used but had everything in good order. I think you’d be nuts to let rental folks use brand new pristine expensive toys.The hot tub did get water replaced, bromine. Interestingly enough, as a rule, when the control panel only has one button for temp (press it once it goes up, again it goes down) are meant to be pressed and held. Push and hold until desired temp.All the thermostats minus the one by the steps upstairs are heat ONLY, even if not marked.I think you can tell some rough groups stay here, that’s not the owners fault and when we did mention a concern, it was sorted in record time (and we do 2 large rentals a year sometimes!)

Loved the house!

My two cousins and a couple of friends stayed here this weekend! We love how big the house is. Multiple bedrooms, we had 9 guys and everyone had their own bed. The oven needs to be replaced and the game room downstairs was awesome. It may need some updating in that room but it was nice having two separate places to hang out as a group. The fire pit is small but it did the job. The hot tub is an awesome feature but struggled to stay above 100 degrees (I’m assuming because of how cold it was). Communication with the hosts was perfect and they responded quickly! Overall we definitely would come back if we had the chance!

Lots of space and perfect location

We had a wonderful experience staying with 4 other families in this house. The 7 bedrooms were all a good size and there was plenty of space for all of the adults and kids to sleep (we had 19 guests). The basement was a perfect hangout spot for the kids where they spent two straight days playing games (pool, air hockey, shuffle board, and cards). The deck has a nice hot tub and a large table for outside dining. Overall, we had a great experience and the hosts were awesome. Their communication and flexibility was outstanding. We hope to stay at this home again this summer so we can use the other amenities and enjoy the lake.
