    The host deserves a 10 star rating! He was always very prompt with responding to our questions and our needs. He was very accommodating, absolutely one of the best host we have ever had. The house was clean and we had everything we needed and more. We will definitely return. We highly recommend this home.

  • Fabulous time for the whole family

    5/5

    We were 6 adults and 4 children, 2-8 y.o. The children stayed in one big bedroom. The huge daytime attractions were the wonderful beach, the large float and all of the watercraft. We noticed while paddling around the lake that most properties did not have a sandy beach area, so this was great to have. We ate lunch out under the pergola and roasted marshmellows at night around the good sized fire pit; the owner provides wood.

    The kitchen accommodated all the cooks in the family, the BRs were comfy, and on our one rainy day we played cards and made puzzles on the large d.room table.

    We brought our own beach toys for the kids, although there were a few playthings in a large covered bin down by the water; a couple kayak paddles were broken.

    Refrig. very clean, totally empty; many spices, oil & vinegar, flour & sugar and other staples in the cabinets. Large flat screen TV over the fireplace, big window view of the pretty lake. We all enjoyed ourselves and hope to return next year! p.s. The owner allowed us to check in 2 hr.s early as the cleaning crew had finished up!

    This property was perfect for our large family. We loved the sandy beach and the clean lake water. The fishing was fantastic as well!

    5/5

    We were a group of 5 adults and 2 young boys (and a dog), and we all enjoyed it tremendously. The house had plenty of rooms/beds to accommodate us - note that one of the bathrooms is only accessible through a bedroom. Everything was in order when we arrived. The house is a truly water front - easy access to the water for launching water crafts or just go for a dip in the water. We used several kayaks and one paddle boat, even though the steering mechanism was broken, so we used an oar as a workaround. It has a water trampoline, alas it was deflated and unusable. The house has several TVs, which we haven't turned on, as we were outdoors most of the time. We had a minor issue with the septic system, which was resolved a few hours after we reported it. The weather was comfortable, so we haven't used the AC. A good chance that we'll return next year.
