Big house with a lot of seating and space for big groups, gorgeous waterfront, fire pit, dock, great kitchen, & a nice neighborhood! We had a great time. Avantstay made the trip really easy with great communication - they went out of the way to bring extra items we needed multiple times, which we really appreciated, While we were there, we rented a pontoon boat to explore the lake, went to a drive through safari, roasted marshmallows by the outdoor fire pit, swam, kayaked and paddle boarded in the lake, went mountain biking and to a really great playground nearby!

We had a great stay! The location was perfect, and the house was very spacious; it easily accommodated our group of 16 adults and 4 babies. It was especially convenient to have a dock to tie our boat to. The home is simply decorated; nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable. A couple of small downsides: the water pressure in the showers was low, and the water temperature was very sensitive, which made it a bit tricky to get just right. Overall, a nice place that worked really well for our group!
