Love the new updates to the house and the lily pad!!! The house is so spacious and can sleep a big group easily! The host is very quick to reply and great to work with. My only down side is there need to be proper steps to get down into the water, especially when lake levels are low in the cove. You have to jump down from the dock, which is too high for older people, young kids, or pets. There is no easy way to get on or off the dock to the beach/ water area. Thank you!

We had such an incredible stay at this lakefront home! From the moment we arrived, everything felt clean, bright, updated, and welcoming. The home has been beautifully refreshed with modern upgrades, stylish decor, and a fully updated kitchen with great appliances that made cooking and gathering easy and enjoyable.The outdoor setup truly made this place special. We spent our days kayaking, floating on the lilypad, swimming from the beach area, fishing off the private dock, and relaxing in the hammock with lake views. At night, the sunsets were absolutely stunning and the firepit area was the perfect place to unwind.The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, yet there was so much to do right at the property. It felt like the perfect balance of a relaxing retreat and a fun getaway. We made so many great memories here and would definitely book again!

Absolutely loved our stay at this lake house! The property was even better in person — beautifully updated, spotless, and so peaceful. The home felt fresh and modern with comfortable furnishings, updated finishes, and a gorgeous kitchen with new appliances that made it easy to cook and spend time together.The lakefront setup was amazing. We spent hours kayaking, floating on the lilypad, swimming, fishing off the dock, and relaxing in the hammock enjoying the view. The sunsets were breathtaking and the firepit area made evenings feel so cozy and relaxing.The neighborhood was quiet and friendly, and the entire property felt like the perfect escape from the city. It was ideal for both relaxing and having fun outdoors. You can tell the owners really care about creating a great experience for guests. We would definitely come back again!

I have to agree with a previous review that we saw. this place has a ton of potential, but our stay was pretty disappointing. The pictures definitely felt a bit misleading.Unlike the last guest, we didn't find the inside to be super clean. There were random items left on the floor, making it feel like it hadn't even been swept before we arrived. A guest bathroom mirror was not in the wall and on the floor so we didn’t have a mirror in there all weekend. They also mentioned minor bug issues, but we had to deal with a serious ant problem. The AC would randomly shut off, so we’d be hanging out outside only to come back to a sweltering hot house.I completely second what the other reviewer said about the kitchen and outdoor setup. There are nowhere near enough cooking basics or silverware. We wanted to use the grill, but it was super dirty and there was nothing provided to clean it with. The outdoor area in general just wasn't maintained. Even the lily pad was left completely muddy, like someone dragged it up the shore and nobody bothered to hose it off between stays.It’s a shame because the property has great bones, but there are just way too many basic things that need to be fixed right now

Water Toys and Fun!

Came here for a quick get away with my 5 and 7 year old boys. Great for fishing and getting right in the water. Kayaks and paddle boards were a blast, had a few falls lol! Great place to stay! Hopefully will be able to make it back sometime.

Comfy and cozy

Cute and cozy home was clean and comfortable. Lots of shade, the kids had a blast and the water was shallow enough that we didn't have to constantly keep worrying about the littles going too far and not being able to reach. Overal a great experience.
