Guest feedback:
---------------------
"Absolutely beautiful property right on the lake! We enjoyed the wonderful views, the nicely landscaped and manicured yard, the covered patio, the hot tub and the fishing. The layout of the house was great and being a single story layout made everything convenient. I especially enjoyed the kitchen with the coffee nook. It was so spacious that it made cooking easy, which meant I didn’t need to spend extra money eating out all the time. There were also a number of grocery stores nearby. Overall the house was very clean, comfortable and convenient and I would highly recommend it!" - Thomas, Sep, 2025
"Had a wonderful family vacation...pictures didn’t do it justice, as it was absolutely beautiful inside and out. Very very clean and had plenty of kitchen equipment for the 7 of us, which we appreciated. Thanks for letting our family share the lake toys (kayaks, paddle boards, and floating dock pad), we had a blast every day we were there. My little grandson even caught his first and the biggest fish (out of all of us) which made his day!! We will definitely love to revisit this home someday in the future!!" - Kevin and Tracy, Jul 2025
"The stay was great! The house was clean and the owners were quick to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend. My family wants to go back and we will definitely try to stay here again." - Suzanne, Jun 2025
