I've been coming to this lake for 15 years and this is by far the most well stocked house I've stayed out. They have everything you need from kitchen to linens. My family and I stayed for a week, the location is good, but use caution if bringing a boat, the water getting to the dock is a bit tricky to navigate. Make sure you get the map from the property owners and trim your engine up!Overall, a great place to stay, plenty of rooms, everything was clean, communication was excellent. It's on a nice quiet cove which was very peaceful.Thank you!
What an absolutely amazing home-away-from home this lovely retreat was! We needed to move out of our home while flood damage was repaired and our host made everything wonderful, peaceful and comfortable for our family and dogs. Even though Lake Sinclair was in it's regular 5-year draw dawn so the level was too low for boating, the home and property were still so beautiful and the views were incredible. Every need we had was met and her communication and kindness was way above and beyond our expectations. All the little details - from decor, supplies, cleanliness, amenities, the game room, info about restaurants and activities in the area, instructions for each room and even toys, bowls and bed and a crate for our dogs - were perfectly well-thought out to make this a first class experience for our entire family during a stressful time. I can't wait to return again for a true vacation here when the lake is back up in the spring or summer to enjoy the water even more and rest and relaxation in this wonderful home!
