Beautiful home and perfect accommodations!

I'd have to say that this was the best VRBO we had ever stayed at!! The house was immaculate and had everything that you could possibly want for a great vacation! Beds were very comfy and the house was well stocked! Katherine was very nice and very quick to respond to any question, want or need. We were there to go to a wedding, but will definitely be back for a longer stay to enjoy all that the home has to offer!! Highly recommend this home!!

Pretty Home on the Water

Overall, we enjoyed the home very much. It was clean and a nice size for our family. The view of the water was lovely. The panels that control the lighting in the kitchen / dining areas seemed to be on the fritz, which was a bit frustrating. Other than that, we had a great stay.

Megan, thank you so much for the review. We greatly appreciate your feedback on the lights. This is the first time any guest has an issue with our smart home technology, we also had our cleaning team and our electrician look at all of the lights. We apologize if it impacted your stay. We look forward to hosting you and your family again and hope you have an amazing summer!

Gorgeous house and location!

This house is everything we wanted! It’s a beautiful, spacious, and modern home. It has comfy beds, beautiful bathrooms, and a huge kitchen and living space perfect for family gatherings! The outside space has a great view of the lake with lots of things to do. It is so cool that they have kayaks, canoes, bikes, cornhole boards, and grills to use. It’s nice to have the option of renting a boat too if we chose. We would love to come back and stay here again!

This beautiful home is very modern and high-end (remote-controlled blinds, music speakers, air-fryer in kitchen, etc.). Bedrooms were clean and comfortable and the luxurious showers were a real treat. The kitchen is nicely arranged, but be sure to bring something to microwave leftovers in, because the dishes are marked as not microwave-safe. Also consider bringing placemats to protect the dining room table - we used paper towels, but not the right look :) FISHERMEN take note: If you are coming here to fish, be aware that the whole frontage of the property is taken up by the owners' pontoon boat and there is no dock, so you cannot fish from the shore. The kayaks and canoe work great, but we missed being able to drop a line in the lake after dinner. The inlet of the lake was quiet and folks obeyed the No Wake rules, but you could see and hear the all-sports activities out on the main part of the lake during the day. There were good-sized bass and perch in the lake, and lots of panfish for kids with worms from the hardware store. The owner was wonderful to work with, and a glitch with the smoke detectors was resolved quickly and fairly. Our family loved this vacation home!

Jennifer, thank you so much for this wonderful and detailed review, it truly made our day! We're thrilled your family loved your stay at our modern lakefront vacation home and enjoyed the high-end touches like the remote-controlled blinds, built-in speakers, and those luxurious showers. Comfort and a little bit of luxury are exactly what we hope every guest feels when they book this lake house, so hearing that the bedrooms and kitchen hit the mark means a lot. Thank you, too, for the thoughtful, practical tips for future guests. You're absolutely right about the dishware and the dining table, we're adding microwave-safe dishes and a set of placemats so the next family has everything they need (paper towels are resourceful, but you deserved better!). And we really appreciate you flagging the fishing situation for fellow anglers. You're spot-on that the shoreline frontage is currently home to our pontoon boat, so fishing is best done from the kayaks or canoe rather than the shore, great to know for the fishermen out there hoping to land those bass, perch, and panfish. We're actively looking into dock options so guests can drop a line right after dinner next time. We loved that you enjoyed the quiet, No-Wake inlet and got a taste of the all-sports lake activity during the day, it's the best of both worlds out here. And thank you for your patience with the smoke detector; we always want to make things right quickly and fairly for our guests.

Wonderful Weekend

We pulled up and the house was so cute. We loved the house and all of the thoughtfulness used in supplying so many baby supplies. Just sitting in the house or on the porch, viewing the wildlife was a delight. We were pleasantly surprised with all of the accommodations provided, from so many floats for the water to an extremely well stocked kitchen. We didn’t realize the garage doors were operated from inside the house and got assistance with that quickly and all was well. We would return in a heartbeat.

Fabulous Lakehouse

We had the best time at the lake house! It was the perfect balance of relaxation and activities! The fishing was perfect right off the deck for my two grandsons, ages 5 & 7. There is also a small inlet w steps to shallow water, perfect for my 3 year old granddaughter. The house is well stocked with kitchen necessities, towels, beach towels, out door toys, kayaks, tubes, noodles, you name it. Washer and dryer came in handy throughout the week as well. Good communication with manager. Check in and check out seamless. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
