• Great Extended Family Vacation

  5/5

  Our family (11 adults, 1 baby, and a dog) were in the area for our niece's med school graduation from nearby LMU. While this location was a little farther out, it had anything and everything we needed for a most comfortable stay. Sharon Lowdon was most accommodating and responded very quickly. The ONLY thing that was a little weird, was having to go through the bathroom connected to the kitchen to get to the bunk room. A couple of times, people were locked out/locked in the room because someone was using the bathroom, but we were able to overcome the problem by announcing that bathroom would be in use for showering, etc. The TVs in the bunk room are all the same brand, so one remote was turning all the TVs on and off at the same time, so that was a little funny too. We just ended up using 1 TV at a time for sleeping white noise. While I thought those things were worth mentioning, it didn't detract at all from the overall rental. We have rented many vacation homes in the past, and this was one of the most well stocked places we have stayed. We highly recommend this house, and would definitely love to return if we find ourselves in the area again.

• Wonderful!

  5/5

  We rented this property to stay closer to my daughter’s wedding. The house was immaculate and was well stocked with kitchen utensils and supplies. Excellent communication with the hosts. I would love to stay again when we didn’t have a wedding hanging over our heads! The drive is a little long, but worth it!

• Great place, well equipped, quiet neighborhood

  5/5

  We rented two houses in this neighborhood. This house was so cozy, well equipped and perfect for our family. We brought 2 small dogs and the dog crate provided was perfect! The bedrooms were comfortable and roomy. The kitchen had everything we needed. The first and second story porches were awesome. The only thing that could be an improvement would be a washer and dryer. We were OK because we had one at the other rental.

  House was in super shape. Comfortable beds and lots of space for all of us (8 adults + 3 kids). Definitely the most stock place I’ve ever stayed. They even had marshmallow roasting sticks for the awesome fit pit. The house had everything and more. My only suggestion would be to have access to the washer & dryer so the beach towels could be washed. House is not on the lake but there is a rustic boat ramp just down the street. Probably best to use a close by marina to launch your boat unless boat is less than 20 feet.

• Best place ever!

  5/5

  This place was AMAZING! Best house we’ve ever stayed in. Big with 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Decor is beautiful and the neighbors were so friendly. Best part is that it’s less than a 5 minute walk to the huge lake! We walked it with our paddleboards! I cannot say enough about it. House was stocked very well and the contact person was awesome. Very quick to respond. We loved our trip and cannot recommend this place enough.
