The house is beautiful and spacious. My children loved the lower level with bunk beds, den and games. The community has a nice pool, playground, tennis courts, basketball court and volleyball court which we all enjoyed. We found some local places to eat which were lovely and look forward to booking again in the future.

Our stay was great overall! The owners were super responsive and accommodating. There was one minor issue with cleanliness but nothing that turned us off from the property. The kids loved the game room and the upstairs deck. An added bonus was the baby gate at the top of the stairs that was great to have for my 1.5 year old. The location was great. The community amenities were awesome. We really enjoyed the pool a couple days we were there, and the staff there were so friendly. We really enjoyed our time and will be back!

The home was well maintained in a very quiet area. We were able to have a fire in the evening and enjoyed the new Adirondack chairs. For as woodsy as the location is, it is also close to many restaurants and the lake. Great home, great location. And the owners were very responsive when we needed anything!
