Nice Lake Home The place was clean, well furnished, great location. The dock and lake were great. The kitchen needs new appliances and the gas grill caught on fire from not being cleaned properly. The host was easy to work with. I rent in the area every year and in other locations across the country. If not for the appliances and grill I would have rated it all 5's. The rental did not come with fire wood which is a first time for us renting and having to buy it it. All other lake and beach homes we have rented wood was supplied. I would definitely rent this property again! ##### Michael M.
