The shed had numerous games and floats to entertain my grandchildren. The property has plenty of room for games and sports. The lake was beautiful; it has a sandy bottom.

There were a few issues but these were resolved quickly. I would recommend some preventive mosquito remediation....lots of mosquitoes in the downstairs bedrooms and bathroom. It was also hard to enjoy evenings outside. Otherwise we had a wonderful stay and look forward to next summers visit!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was perfect for our family celebrating my husbands 70th birthday with our kids and grandkids. We rented boat and the lake was fun and we caught a lot of fish. Great place to stay with a large family. We would love to come back.
