The kitchen was very well stocked. There weren't any sharp knives, just 1 pairing knife and just 1 small frying pan. The house was clean, no issues there. The area was quick, which was good.

Beautiful home on the lake

We had a wonderful stay. My son loved the rope swing and the huge bean bag chair. The host is great and we are thankful they share their beautiful home on the lake. I loved relaxing on the swing with my coffee overlooking the lake

Amazing Getaway!

This home is beautiful, clean, and extremely relaxing. The property manager thought of everything: classical music playing in the background upon our arrival, chocolates, wine, coffee bar, and more! The view from the deck and dock were so peaceful. We will definitely return again soon!

Enjoyed our stay

The home was beautiful and plenty of space. The hill down to the lake was a struggle. Thank goodness for the golf cart. The 3 dogs next door visit often. The boat traffic kept the fish from biting. Quiet and relaxing. Will stay again.

Great little lake house

We stayed here fr a long weekend. 7 of us total, 2 adults and 5 kids ages 4-13. The property was very clean and the hosts supplied everything we needed! Even snacks and some drinks in the fridge. The back porch and dock were great for everyone to enjoy. A perfect places to swim and fish but still close enough to go into town and explore the historic sites. Definitely the perfect family vacation house!
