Friends would not stop talking about the view. Host was great! Very nice and accommodating. We had a few hiccups with a few things but host was very attentive and made sure everything was resolved right away. The property was beautiful and was perfect to fit a large group. We were lucky to find a place so close to our wedding venue to house everyone! Thank you for a great stay.

This property was just perfect for our family! There were 12 of us and the bedrooms and bathrooms were more than accommodating. The kitchen had all the appliances we needed. The fridge and freezer areas are oversized and were ample for all of our food. The back of the home is complete glass doors and the view of the lake is incredible! We took advantage of both docks. And the owner allowed us use of his kayak and paddle boards. There is a hot tub that we enjoyed too! Parking is plentiful. We had 8 vehicles. The owner is very accommodating to specific requests and promptly responded to all of my messages! Could not have had a better experience!! Thank you Smith Family!

This house was perfect for our group of ten with ensuite bedrooms for all and large seating areas inside and out. It is located on a quiet street and has plenty of parking with a large circular driveway and carport for two cars. The owner/manager is very responsive and the checkin and checkout process was a breeze. The lake is beautiful and there's a marina just around the corner. We look forward to returning to this wonderful house.
