My daughter and family had a wonderful stay at Landon’s place. It was very spacious and perfect for a large group. Would love to visit in the summer.

Place was generally as advertised and we enjoyed our stay, but had some issues with the heat, ladybugs, and some minor cleanliness concerns.

We were very happy with our stay here! It was super clean, really cute, and spacious. The house is big enough to fit everybody, and had everything we needed! The property is stunning, and we really enjoyed swimming and boating in the lake. We loved that we were completely secluded and private, with lots of property to ourselves! They were very kind and freindly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Our vacation here was a dream! We are extremely satisfied.
