We had a great stay at this clean, comfortable home with a beautiful lake view that made the whole trip feel relaxing. The hot tub was a highlight and perfect for unwinding, and we really appreciated that the property is pet-friendly, making it easy to bring our dogs along. Overall, a wonderful spot with great amenities, and we’d definitely stay here again!

Jessika N.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
House & Pool house were clean and conveniently located. The pool was not operational or clean, presumably due to the time of year. The hot tub was not clean and would not go up past bath water temp, 94 F tops. We were really looking forward to the pond for some fishing, but the pond is actually a stormwater retention pond with little more than snapping turtles in it, which is probably why no other homes on the pond have fishing docks. But all in all, it was a nice getaway.

The owner is commutative and easy to work with. The house is about 75% as shown but some of the pictures are AI enhanced (the inside pictures are accurate.) Overall, the house was well furnished and met our needs for the weekend of hosting our family for a wedding nearby. However, there were a few items that didn’t meet expectations. The outdoor area is designed for entertaining but the grill is a “camping style grill” in which you must bring your own 1 lb propane bottle - don’t plan on grilling more than three burgers at a time. The hot tub was working but not clean enough to feel comfortable using. The pool looked great but the decking was cracked and a rug was used to cover up a major hole. The back porch fans did not work. The master bedroom closet is missing the baseboards and where the carpet met the bathroom tile, the tack nails were exposed so if you stepped on the threshold barefooted, it cut your foot (speaking from experience). There’s just a few items to be addressed to bring it up to par for this type of rental.

Spacious, Family-Friendly, and Responsive Host

We had a fantastic stay! The location has plenty of space for a larger family. The kids especially loved fishing off the dock, a great bonus. We did run into a few small hiccups, but Chris was incredibly responsive and handled everything quickly and professionally. Overall, it was wonderful experience, and would recommend this location to families or groups looking for a relaxing getaway.
