A very nice house near two or three other houses. The house was comfortable and clean, and near a quiet, peaceful lake.

Great place right on the lake. We had fun using the kayaks and hanging around the fire at night. Plenty of space and beds. Great for a larger family.

Place was nice. Rather dark interior and appears they were working on lighting but the lights were a bit harsh. Well supplied and clean. Nice big rooms - very nice. Good communication with owner. Fire pit, kayaks and dock very nice. No table on the deck for dining outside. Beautiful lake. Overall we had a good stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 Sept 2026
Thank you for staying with us! We’re glad you enjoyed the spacious home, beautiful lake, fire pit, kayaks, and dock, and that you found everything clean and well supplied. We did want to clarify for future guests that the lighting throughout the home is not currently being worked on. The main lights are equipped with dimmer controls located on the side of the light switches, allowing the lighting to be adjusted from bright to much softer depending on your preference. We’re happy to hear that overall you had a good stay and enjoyed the property!

The place was stunning and cozy. The beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were clean. The view of the lake was nice. Check-in was easy. Very family friendly. There were games and a couple life jackets and fire starter kits. More things then I expected. For being my first vrbo I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a quiet cozy place to stay that is kid friendly.
