Great communication with the host and a clean and well-stocked property. I travel with my dog, so the dog bed in the living room was fantastic and my old boy loved it! Very welcoming of you to have that.

Everything was amazing! Check in was simple, the home was clean, and it was a PERFECT getaway before kids went back to school! Nothing beats visiting the parks nearby then coming back to play in the lake and cookout on the grill!

Nice place to get away

We went there to fish, nice dock on the lake to keep the boat in the water while we were there, the marina was a little bit of a drive away but not too bad, overall we really liked this place
