Had a great time! The pool table, hot tub, and lake views were amazing. The kitchen had all the things that we needed and the coffee bar was a nice touch. The bed and pillows were very comfortable! The other games available, made for good entertainment during some rain showers.

The Lakeview was beautiful! We rented the house to be able be away and near water, but not be actively on the lake. It was a perfect vantage point to enjoy lake life. Host was great with communications. We had a terrific time.

Spent a long weekend at this house for a girl's weekend getaway. It was perfect! We had plenty of room for us to all have our own space and there was also plenty of room in the common areas for us to gather and enjoy being together. The kitchen was fully equipped and the grilling area had everything that we needed. The views were amazing and the area on the dock was just beautiful. David was very attentive and made sure that we had everything we needed and checked in with us periodically. We actually never left the house the entire weekend!

We enjoyed our stay and are already talking about how we need to return. The host was very responsive and they literally thought about everything you could need. Beautiful home and location. We had really enjoyed ourselves. Impressed is an understatement.
