We were in town for the fireworks. We picked this house because she allowed a pup. We hate to go away and leave the pup behind! It was a bonus that the house was set up with everything that you could possibly need and then some. Melanie also helped us out with allowing our boat to show up early to avoid the rain- that was such a relief to us- extremely grateful for that flexibility! We had a great time, a great view and will keep this house on the list! We appreciated all of her efforts.

Perfect Lakehouse

Nice location on the lake. The home was in excellent shape. Good WiFi. You could swim and fish off of the dock. Two kayaks and a paddle board were available to use. The gas grill was clean. You could paddle across the lake to nice restaurants. The owner was available by text to address any concerns.

Great lake location!

We came to town to visit family and rented the house on the lake as a central location. The house is great, modern upgrades, multiple decks, water access, quiet and close to everything. The property manager was very responsive and easy to work with. The views of the lake and multiple decks were great. Owners provided kayaks and a paddleboard along with life vests. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with pretty much anything you need including toiletries, trash bags, dish soap, etc. Parking is tight in the neighborhood but it all worked and we had such a good time. We hope to come back again soon.

Nice if kept up

Nice location on the lake. Problem is the landscaping isn't maintained. Spider webs all over the patio shrubs growing over walkways. The outside space is not useable. The inside is nice but it was crumbs and hair on the bed when we checked in, and was accused of causing a red stain on a quilt that was already there. The water pressure in the house goes in and out so be prepared to stand in the shower 45 seconds waiting for the water to come back on.

Perfect for our family and friends gathering. We loved the lakefront view. And took full advantage of the well stocked kitchen, the outdoor grill, the patios, and the fire pit. We found it to be an awesome place for a hot summer weekend.

This house was amazing! We stayed here for my daughter’s wedding at Tudor House. The lakefront location and the tons of outdoor seating areas was just so peaceful and beautiful, and perfect for arranging wedding flowers (which fyi I do not recommend diy’ing your wedding flowers). This home was chock full of amenities, from the well appointed kitchen to the bathroom thoughtfully stocked with bug spray, feminine hygiene supplies, and more. There were even toys and games for the kids. Kayaks were the cherry on top and we had a blast. Owners were so kind and responsive…this was probably our best vacation rental experience ever. Even though we only live an hour away, we plan on coming back in the future!
