This place would be really good for families. Host is very responsive. Check in was easy. The neighborhood is very low key. It's close to the airport - although that also means there are planes regularly flying overhead.

Amazing place to stay with the family. The property is perfect and the lake was gorgeous. We really enjoyed the fire pit at night and the dock was great to swim off of.

This property has everything you could possibly want or need for lakefront living! The outdoor space is massive and provides the ultimate relaxation and sitting indoors (when the heat is crazy) still provides all the beautiful views of the lake. The game room was awesome too. Beds were very comfortable. It was an excellent find!

The perfect low-key family getaway!

This was an amazing stay for our outdoor loving party of 12. We spent our days fishing, playing in the sand, swimming in the lake, and snacking on the deck. Nighttime was great watching the sunset on the water, roasting marshmallows, and playing games with family. A place we’d definitely visit again!

The property was amazing for our family vacation and backyard wedding. The host was extremely accommodating regarding our event, and the house was well stocked with cookware and seasoning for all the cooking we did throughout the week. We loved the kayaks and fire pit, but watching cranes from the deck was probably our favorite part!

Nice waterfront place with privacy

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Our paddleboards and a small dinghy were used often on the protected water, and our sons were kept very busy with the huge Catfish in there. It was great.

Beautiful Place

Our family of 11 stayed here in early May. We found everything we needed and more. The setting is gorgeous and quite comfortable. The kids had fun fishing off the dock, swimming and playing catch in the expansive yard. We all agreed we would love to stay here again.

Our family gets together once a year and this place was beautiful. It is so peaceful and the views are great. The only issue we had was the floor vents not being flush with the ground.

Family Christmas

Our family of 10 enjoyed our weekend stay. We were so happy to see the Christmas tree was up as this was our family Christmas weekend. The house is spacious and clean. Unfortunately it rained so we couldn’t spend a lot of time outside but there was plenty of room for multiple activities with beautiful lake views from every room.
