This place was beautiful, the checkin process swas easy and the house had everything we needed. The location was easy to find and we had no issues staying there. The kids loved the ping pong table/pool table and it was nice to be able to disconnect form the world for a few days. We totally recommend this place!

Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad check-in was easy and the house had everything you needed. Happy the location worked well and the kids enjoyed the ping-pong and pool table—what a great way to disconnect for a few days. Thanks for the recommendation; we’d love to host you again.
We stayed 4 nights with our family consisting of 3 generations. This was our 2nd year in a row staying here and will definitely be back again next year! The house is set up perfect for large families and had everything we needed including an awesome view.

Thank you for the 5-star review! Glad you chose to stay with us again and that the home was perfect for three generations. Happy it had everything you needed and that you enjoyed the awesome view. We’d love to host you again next year!
Everything about this property was fabulous. Spacious - comfy beds - game room - peaceful area. We loved it and wished we could study longer. We can’t wait to book it again and come back.
This home is in a wonderful gated community with lake access. The pictures are an accurate representation. We especially enjoyed the downstairs family room as the sofa in front of the fireplace was comfortable and large. Having a king bed in 3 of the 4 bedrooms was fantastic and an unusual arrangement for a rental. There is access to the lake, a large balcony and a hot tub, but due to the weather (rain and snow) we did not get to enjoy these features. I would advise anyone staying there during the winter that the driveway is rather steep and if it becomes icy and snowy it's difficult to get up to the main road. I would deffinitely rent this property again.

Thank you for the great review. We're glad the home and listing met your expectations — the gated community, lake access, and accurate photos — and that the downstairs family room and the three king beds worked well for your group. Sorry the weather kept you from using the balcony, lake access, and hot tub. We appreciate the note about the steep driveway in winter; that will be helpful for future guests. We look forward to hosting you again.
We loved our stay at the home! It was perfect for our family with space for everyone. The beds were very comfortable and the setting was gorgeous! Would definitely stay again!
Very good, we couldn’t swim off the dock which was disappointing . The house was beautiful and user friendly.

Thank you for your feedback, Curtis. We're glad you found the house beautiful and user friendly. We appreciate your understanding regarding the dock swimming.
Wonderful place and will go back again. There were a few issues of items that needed attention. I mentioned these to the management people and I believe that they will take care of those issues

We stayed here for a family trip to celebrate a 70th birthday. The home is beautiful and its location on the lake is perfect. We would definitely return!
What a beautiful home with special features and all the amenities needed. Thank you for the stay and for allowing me to create beautiful memories with my family!
We had a large group and the house accommodated us very comfortably with a lot of fun things to do for the kids! We enjoyed fishing at the dock, playing ping pong and playing piano. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a nice, quiet retreat! Beds were very comfortable as well! Thanks for a great stay!
We had a great time making memories with our family. This is our second stay in the same place! Absolutely love it!! Beautiful views and woodwork throughout the home.

The location is stunning with breathtaking views of the lake. The house was perfect for our family gathering. Loved the game room, the master bedroom and bathroom! The only issue is the lack of cell reception. Even with access to the internet and an iPhone you will not have the ability to consistently communicate with anyone outside of the lodge. Highly recommend this place as it was a wonderful home to stay in for twelve nights.

Thank you for the lovely review! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. However, we would like to note that we do not allow weddings or wedding parties at any of our homes in regulation with city ordinances. We wish you the best in your travels!
We had a great time, we really did not need to reach out to the home owners since we received clear instructions, we appreciate the dog friendly house and are so grateful for the memories we made there! Thank you again for sharing your home!
