The house provided a nice space to hang out with family. The beds were very comfortable and the park was beautiful. The house was clean in the most important ways, but could use a deep cleaning that gets baseboards and removes cobwebs from corners. The property manager was very responsive and quick to provide extra pillows which were greatly appreciated. The listing showed a washing machine which wasn’t working.

Wonderful place to stay

The home is cozy and spacious. It is in a park so the kids went fishing and walked the paths. It was still cold out so we didn’t use the beautiful beach area. Lake is very clear. I highly recommend staying here.

Very nice house in a county park. Setting was beautiful and quiet. We fished from the dock and with our fishing kayaks. One of our family members uses a wheelchair. Ramp entry and accessible 1st floor bathroom with grab bars and shower seat appreciated.

Beautiful Lake House

Beautiful, spacious ranger house overlooking the lake in a county park. Tons of room to spread out, big bedrooms and 2 full baths - a must have with 4 adults and a couple of teenagers! The park is well maintained - even in winter/spring. And the sunrise was gorgeous. Check in was super easy. We cant wait to come back and stay during the summer!
