Our family had a wonderful stay at this lake house. The property is beautiful, and the lake views were absolutely stunning. We spent a lot of time enjoying the water and the peaceful surroundings, which made for a very relaxing getaway. The house itself was nice, comfortable, and had plenty of space for our family. The only downside was that some of the outdoor amenities were not as clean as we had hoped. While it didn't ruin our trip, it was a bit disappointing and could use some additional attention. Overall, we had a great time and created some wonderful family memories. The beautiful lake setting and nice home made this a very enjoyable stay, and we would recommend it to others looking for a lakefront getaway.

Beautiful house. Instructions for pool and hot tub were slight confusing, would have loved more specific instructions. Needed more sheets and blankets, but wasn’t able to get it until the day after. Lots of draws in the office room, would have loved if they had labels so we could find things. Would rent again if going to the area and recommend to friends.
