We had an excellent staycation here. The house is beautiful, clean, large and accommodating. There were plenty of necessities stocked. However, I would suggest bringing extra towels. The lake is very nice and peaceful. We did lots of fishing and swimming. There are some games like chess/checkers and a kayak. Surprisingly, the bugs weren’t bad here, even right on the water. The pictures don’t do it justice. We would love to stay here again!

Beautiful home and location. 8 of us slept comfortably and had plenty of room to hang out. We enjoyed fishing off of the dock and making use of the kayak. The area was very serene and we spent a lot of time outside on the porches enjoying the views.

We recently did a short weekend stay at this property and thought the home was beautiful and spacious. Our sole purpose of the stay was for fishing and relaxing, and the property is perfect for fishing. It’s also a short drive to places for dining, groceries, and shopping. The initial drive to get to the home from the main rd can be sketchy if you don’t read the description and aren’t expecting it, but the drive really isn’t bad and is about 5ish minutes from the main road to the house.Our only con with the home was that it was listed and described as pet free, which is always the key factor in us choosing a rental due to severe allergies, but however ended up needing to give our 2 year old a breathing treatment, and making a store run for allergy medicines for several people in our group. While the home is listed as pet free, there are traces of a pet so book with caution if that’s something you’re trying to avoid.
