We stayed at Carrie’s place for end of the year. It was a great stay in a beautiful home. The house has all amenities and a perfect place for family vacation. Kitchen was well equipped and the hot tub was clean. The house was safe, great location. Carrie is a very responsible host and we truly enjoyed our stay and would 💯 plan to come back.

Let me start by saying, as beautiful as the pictures were, they didn’t do it justice. The views were second to none. We enjoyed EVERY SINGLE NIGHT on the back porch overlooking the insanely gorgeous water. My girls were on the water ALL day,kayaking and paddle boarding. We brought our boat that we kept at the private dock so we could beepop along the water whenever we wanted!!!! The house literally had everything you could possibly think of as a convenience (spices, cookware, extra refrigeration, amazing parking) We needed and wanted for nothing!!!!!! Hot tub overlooking the lake and Ping pong in the basement was an added bonus for the kids. An absolute oasis in a quiet neighborhood. Kids could ride bikes without the anxiety of cars zipping by. Carrie is a stellar host! I was able to communicate with her and received immediate responses! She even gave us ideas for dining and activities!!!Can’t rave enough about our time at “ Smooth Sailing”. Recommend to anyone and everyone!!!!

This was the second time we’ve stayed at Carrie’s place. We love being right on the water and the house has everything we need. We spent the majority of our time on the screened in porch and on the newly installed dock. Carrie’s house is truly a gem and Carrie goes above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable during your stay. We’re already looking at the calendar to book again, for the third year in a row!
