Second time staying at this property. Owner is responsive and understanding. Perfect location and love that the boat rental is easy. Thanks for another good stay!
Great house for a group. They had everything we needed in the house and outside of the house. The location was perfect and very near restaurants and shops. We would love to stay here again in the future!
Wonderful place to stay! This was the best-stocked vacation home we've ever stayed in, and we really appreciated all the supplies. So much to do here -- the lake toys and the game room were so much fun! We also loved sitting on the deck and watching the lake. Highly recommend this house.
Been here numerous times, only recommendation was better communications over the lake. There was some damaged tubes that I ended up having to rent which did stick as an extra expense.
The home is absolutely beautiful! There is so much room for our entire family. The hot tub was so nice on the colder days during our stay. The kitchen is AMAZING! We always cook a while on our getaways and vacations and this kitchen was stocked with everything we could have ever needed to use for cooking, especially amazing non stick pots and pans! We loved our stay and will be back as well as share the suggestion to others for a stay.
We took my 87 y/o dad and 82 y/o mom with dementia here for the weekend. It was glorious. My parents really enjoyed it and it was so easy for them to get around. I highly recommend.
This was our second stay at this property. They make it very easy to fly in and arrive with everything that we need to start our stay. We especially appreciate that they provide beach towels so we can save room in our suitcases. Kitchen is very well equipped; house has plenty of room for everyone. Water pressure was perfect this year! Beautiful view of the lake. We were excited to get a visit from the Ice Cream Boat this year. (There is a Facebook page for it and also a real-time map to see where it is located.) House is conveniently located between Bridgewater and Food Lion, with Kroger at Westlake not too far away. We will definitely try to book this property again for our next visit.
Convenient location and position on lake. Prompt response from owner with inquiries. Excellent game room. Mattresses just ok, not super comfortable or supportive. Needed more beach towels. There were no kitchen dish rags and only two dish towels which needed to be washed often. The washer was great but dryer took several cycles to dry so we ended up hanging things out to dry- waste of electricity. Def more positive than negative experience:) Would consider renting again.
Beautiful house with beautiful of the lake, had everything we needed for the weekend! Great dock and location on the lake! We will definitely be booking again!
Our family truly enjoyed this property. It was a perfect location for us and the hot tub was a perk! Communication with owner was excellent and timely. Happy to have the option of a boat rental with the house rather than going to a marina. Will definitely be back!
Absolutely fantastic property. All the amenities including a boat and jetskis, paddle boards, tubes, a game room and a hot tub. The view is amazing, the location is perfect with restaurants just a 5-10 minute boat ride away. Communication with the owners was also excellent. We definitely look forward to renting this property again in the future with friends!
My family enjoyed their stay here very much. The view is beautiful. It has everything you need and plenty of space for everyone. We felt so relaxed the entire stay. This is one of our favorite vacation homes to stay in so far and we will be back.
This property is fabulous.. the location on the lake, close to marina, shops and restaurants! Kitchen is fully equipped! The only issue was the water pressure in the kitchen and in all bathrooms. We enjoyed our stay!!
