We had a great time staying here. The lake is amazing. There were 10 of us ranging from age 4 to 89\. Accommodating us was not a problem. There was room to spare. We cannot wait to plan our next stay! There wasn't a single issue with our stay. ##### John H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew T. 27 Jun 2025 #### Great location house with boat slip Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was in a great location with great large water views and a boat slip for guest use. The boat slip was a huge advantage since we brought a boat with us. The house was clean and accommodated our large family. The grill and fire pit though needed some love though and we were unable to grill burgers or make smores. ##### Andrew T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy H. 11 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A very lovely home Most notable about the home was the cleanliness! The house was spotless, it unusual to walk into a rental and not feel like you have to clean some before you can relax and enjoy the space. It was a little cool so we did not get to enjoy the dock much but we did make use of the pool table and the card table that were downstairs. Plenty of room for cooking in the kitchen with everything we needed and plenty of room for dining. We enjoyed our three night family getaway to just hang out and spend time together. ##### Cindy H.
