The house was great! Very cozy and welcoming in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the open floor plan and the deck overlooking the lake. The steps down to the lake definitely helped us get out exercise for the weekend- but totally worth it! This was a great place to stay!
There were 8 adults ranging from 20-71 years of age staying at this wonderful lake house. It had 4 very comfortable bedrooms, a large kitchen with all the cooking supplies you would need and a comfy living room with flat screen tv. Overall, we had a very relaxing week and rented a boat to do activities on the water. The dock was so much fun to hang out and soak in the water. Our dog loved it as well! The steps down took some getting used to, but we were less winded by the end of the week, so improved our cardio fitness!

We are delighted you enjoyed your stay. I hope you got to enjoy the new fire pit this year. It has been a big hit with guests! You are welcome to visit again.
The covered boat dock was perfect for keeping us dry in the rain. We caught lots of little fish at the dock. Had quick access to the narrow part of the lake for easy riding and tubing. The house is close to boat ramps, and a family boardwalk with mini golf, games, and food.
We had plenty of room for teens and adults in the house. They enjoyed the fusbol table and basement all to themselves! They also enjoyed wiffle ball in the big yard.
Food Lion and pizza is 15 min from the house. Easy access to anything you need! And in a nice neighborhood. Highly recommend!
The house and location were great. Might need a few upgrades, like the wooden toilet seat. Not sure what could be done about the stink bugs. We were there for my sisters funeral, so maybe a trip back under better circumstances would be nice. But over all, it was great!
