The home is very nice, the pictures are very accurate. The kitchen is well appointed with a variety of both glass and plastic ware to accommodate every occasion. The property manager kept us informed of everything from our initial booking to check in - even checking in to be sure we found everything we needed. The views of the lake from this home are breathtaking. Great place to stay!

This is a modern house on a beautiful setting and is highly recommended. The kitchen has the accessories you would need to feel at home and there is an outdoor natural gas grill.

Perfect Girls’ Weekend Getaway

Loved our stay here! My friends and I were looking for an escape from busy-ness and this was it! Property was very clean. Kitchen was almost better appointed than my own home kitchen! Loved hot-tubbing and sitting by the shore. Nearby restaurant/bar was a convenient and a fun glimpse into local life for us out-of-staters. Mike made himself readily available to address any issues, but was not overbearing. 10/10!

We’d stay again!

We take a lake vacation every year as a family. This place fit our needs perfectly. It was wonderfully appointed. The owners invested in the property and has all of the amenities you would need. There was lots of room for visitors to put their belongings and pantry space that kept counters clear. Just a great place for a family of 6. The lake was clear and well suited for fishing and water sports. For those of you bringing a boat make sure you bring fenders/buoys as the water levels likely will vary and there is no boat lift.

Peaceful

Sunsets were great, it was quiet, lake was beautiful and the house was cute. Property had good amenities. Property manager was responsive. Some cleaning and TLC would help - had to mop when we got there because the floor was dirty and we all had black feet. Door broke, dishwasher didn't wash, etc - a little TLC would be great. Overall, the stay was great.

We do appreciate you staying with us for a full two weeks. That is a long stay during the summer months. I have followed up with the owners on the few items you ran into and will also follow up with the housekeepers. We have not had these issues in the past and will certainly rectify them. We have had about 75 guests over the last five years and have 5 star reviews on almost all of them. Thanks

Nice property, beautiful location

Great location, beautiful lake. The house is modern and spacious. Lake is just wonderful with sunset views that will knock your socks off. Only issue was that the A/C was not functioning and we just had a heat wave. Property manager did his best to get it fixed but not a letter to get it fixed. He did bring over a room A/C unit but not able to cool a house that big. Unfortunate because getting ready for my daughter's wedding was sticky to say the least. Was a letter to open windows a couple of nights go cool down the house but still humid. Would recommend to anyone and would rent it again. Would have 5 stars if not for the A/C issue.

Dan, we certainly appreciate you coming to stay with us. Yes, unfortunately the AC did go out during your stay. We did get our HVAC company out to the house within a day and have everything fully fixed. We are certainly sorry for the inconvenience. Dropping off a back up AC and offering a discount for your inconvenience was the best way we thought to handle the AC motor going out. We did appreciate your patience and understanding with the issue.
