Family at the Lake

Our Family, a total of 16, gathered together to enjoy a week with one another at the Lake. We had a wonderful time playing in the water, touring a bit in the area, and cooking for one another. It was a perfect vacation. The owner and property manager were there to address one small problem we had, but they fixed it as quickly as it could be. We were thankful for that and I recommend this host to anyone looking for that relaxing enjoyable reunionl.

Family vacation retreat

The house was amazing! There were lots of amenities and things to do. Having access to the clubhouse was a bonus because they have an indoor pool for when the weather isn't cooperating. Great for kids and plenty of space for everyone. The boat was definitely an added bonus. One downside was the A/C was not able to cool the upstairs properly, even with the weather being very mild during our stay.

An Excellent Place for a Large Family Get-Together

The location on this scenic small lake was marvelous! The water was clean and fun to be in or around. The little beach area and fire pit were much appreciated. Lots of working kayak-style boats provided free, plus a small electric-motor pontoon boat can be rented for relaxing trips around the lake. The inside of the house is beautiful, clean, and quite functional. Kitchen is large, well-equipped, and easy to work in. The game rooms were a hit for many of us. Oddly enough, everything looked more spacious in person than in the photos! The current owner was very responsive to my messages, and helpful. We all had a great time!!

Happiest New Year

We had a great time enjoying all that the property had to offer. All of 8 kids (ages 1-7) were very occupied for the games and activities available for them while the adults had time to socialize and enjoy their time! I would highly recommend this property.
