Grew up on Benett Lake so this holds a special place in my heart to be able to enjoy the lake with my family. The house is perfect for families and has every item you might wish for and more. Loved the various living spaces and super yard for family activities. The dock is large and sunsets are beautiful. Wish we had more time but will book again!! Amy was incredibly responsive and terrific host - thank you!!!!!!!
