Our large family had the most wonderful week here! Each level fit our family’s needs perfectly. The bedrooms and shared common spaces were so comfortable. We loved it so much we booked it again for next year!!
We throughly enjoyed our stay! The house layout was spacious so everyone had ample privacy even with a large family group. The kitchen was well-stocked & the lake amenities a lot of fun for all!
This is one of the top two vrbo houses I have ever seen. It has everything you need and more, for a large group. House was very clean upon arrival and communication with the host was spot on.
Beautifully appointed, great communication with owner, and tons of great spots for our big family to hang out. The kids loved the water slide and the game room! Would def book again… can’t say enough good things. Enjoyed renting a pontoon from Evans Marine - easy pickup and dropoff at Duncan Bridge Marina.
The property was way better in person than the pictures and that says a lot. Everything you need, they have. The amenities were perfect! We loved it so much we can’t wait to do our next retreat there again! Our guests loved it!
Celebrated a 60th birthday with all the children, grandchildren and Sister. This place is perfect for large families. So much room! The amenities were perfect. Don’t pass this one up!!
Property is beautiful! House has plenty of room for large families! We had 12 on our stay . The only negative walk up and down to the dock is steep but you can cut through the steps and decks ! Landscaping blends with the elements! Would recommend to stay here !
We stayed here with our wedding party for the weekend while getting married in double springs and loved it. Was very relaxing and had a beautiful view. Made a lot of great memories and highly recommend. Had no issues but great contact with host if any arose. They were be try friendly and helpful.
Clean, very nice, beautiful lake. There are steps to lake because of the steepness of the land. Children loved the kayaks. House very nice. Loved the view from dining room- all lake. Everyone said they would like to come back.
I couldn't have picked a better rental property. It accommodated all of my family. They had a Christmas tree which was perfect because we visited during the holidays. They had every amenity you could think of. We were not far from a local store. This property was beautiful and well decorated. Will book this property again.
Great weekend property, extended family with 4 kids and spouses plus 7 grandchildren. House had everything we needed for sleeping, cooking and outdoor activities.
It was convenient for all our kids and close to a store in Arley if we forgot anything.
Evans Marine and Dunkin Bridge Marina are close for pontoon boat rental.
We’ll definitely rent again.
We enjoyed our family holiday in your lovely home. The house was amazing and the location couldn’t have been better. We felt the house was top of the line and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. The only small issue we had was the couches and chairs did not have that comfortable cozy, curl up in front of the fireplace feel. We plan on being back next year.
This house is exactly as pictured. Very roomy and everything you need plus more. There were sound machines in the bedrooms, which was wonderful as I left mine at home. Newer home with many amenities! The owners were very prompt to answer questions. Also, we couldn’t find the safety gate for the stairs and they brought one within 20 minutes plus had another delivered from Amazon. The entire family had a blast! One of the best rentals we’ve ever stayed! There were plenty of toys for the toddlers plus books, card games and poker for the adults. We’ll definitely be back! Thanks for a wonderful Memorial weekend!
Beautiful home and property, with plenty of space for everyone to have their own space and privacy. Very clean, with a well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds.
Dock area was clean - lily pad was a nice addition. There is a 10/15 foot area before the lake that is a steep side walk, so be prepared, as it is not for the elderly or those with trouble walking. We were all late 30s to early 40s and struggled, but not enough to keep up from coming back! Already booked for next year!
The property was fantastic!!! There was plenty of room for our group of 16 adult-size bodies. I would love to come back in the summertime to enjoy the lake and its amenities. I whole-heartedly recommend this place!!!
Couldn’t have been happier with this property. Has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Response from the host was immediate and very helpful. You couldn’t ask for a better house to accommodate a large group.
We loved vacationing here. It was so clean, had everything we ever needed and close to a small grocery store just incase you forgot anything, the outdoor areas were just as beautiful. We will definitely book this again in the future!
