Stacy and her family were outstanding guests.
They were deeply sincere and would welcome them back anytime.
This is a beautiful spacious home on the lake. It was stocked with everything our family needed, including a pack n play and high chair for our 9 month old. The house was very clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend this home.

Very nice location on the lake with great views! Interior of the house was well appointed and clean. Distance and stairs to the dock was a lot for older family members. Outside around the house was ok but could have used a little more maintenance and pest control. Overall a wonderful place to stay!

This home was exactly what my family was looking for! It is a beautiful home, on a beautiful lake, and was the perfect quick getaway for my family of 5. The setup of the home provides great places to come together but also plenty of room to spread out. The outdoor spaces and views are even better than pictured! We spent lots of time on the dock and made good use of the kayaks provided. Overall, a super relaxing trip and all-around great experience!

The guests were truly inspiring in their care for our home and their thoughtful adherence to the rules, we eagerly anticipate their return and the opportunity to host them again.
In one word...amazing! Our family absolutely loved our time there. The house is beautiful, immaculate, SO updated, and super cozy. It literally was equipped with the best of everything and we thoroughly had one of our best family vacations! The host (Kim) was amazing as well! Her communication is excellent, and she is always ready and willing to help with any questions, details, or concerns...not that were were any concerns at all! Cant beat the views from the multiple seating areas! We are for sure going back! Thanks, Kim for an amazing stay!
