House is beautiful. We had an issue the owner was very prompt. It would have been nice is there was hand soap in the soap dispenser instead of water and the blanket on the bed was soiled. Not necessary things you think to travel with.

The house was excellent the grounds water access were very good. It was a very enjoyable week even the weather contributes to an enjoyable time on the lake. It was peaceful we seas several bald eagles/ countless geese and ducks flying in and we enjoyed the lake since my Son brought his boat and was able to get around the lake. We would be interested in renting again same time next year, maybe extended stay.

My family and I enjoyed our week’s vacation. The boat ramp was wonderful for launching the kayaks we had hired, and the owners tandem kayak was an added bonus. The beds, pillows and linens were very comfortable.The views from the dock were lovely, and the ability to store drinks in the refrigerator there was good.The house is in a great location to various restaurants. We loved Haggerty’s and The Watersview.

Decompressing at the lake

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this house. We spent every day down on the dock and when it warmed up enough we were in the water. We had fun watching the swallows that next under the boat house zooming around. The house had everything we could possibly need. Be sure to check out two of the local eateries, Getting sauced in the city and Jenny Cakes. Cute places with really nice owners. It was a great week of relaxing.

Amazing Stay

This property was all it was cracked up to be. The host, Richard, was readily available when needed, which wasn’t often. The home is amazing. Stunning views of the lake. Circle floor plan worked out great for the kids. Very nice dock and water toys (kayak, paddle board and peddle boat. Huge kitchen. Plenty of room for me, my four daughters, son-in-law and two grandkids. We never felt like we were in each others way. I highly recommend this property, except on July 4th weekends, because I will be booking it every year on the 4th, until I buy my own place lol.

The location was awesome. A cove nestled just off another cove gave our kids a great and safe place to swim off the dock. The dock was nice - had a table and fridge. The bar sink didn’t work and there were no lounge chairs but there were chairs from the table at for the bar. Good area to swim - clear water and plenty deep enough to dock the boat we rented. Nice lights for evenings. Clearly labeled switches let us know how to turn on fans, lights etc. didn’t seem like the dock had been cleaned in a while but we realize bugs and spiders at the lake are plentiful. Had access to paddle boards and a kayak that the kids loved taking out.We had 4 kids (13,13,11,10) and 2 adults the entire time and my mom came up for a few days to visit with us. That number of people sharing two bathrooms is a little tight but we managed. The beds were comfy - not too soft, not too firm. The room with the bunks didn’t have a door on it that would have been good to have known before.Lots of spices and pantry items - that was great when needing salt, pepper, cooking spray etc
