We made great use of the beautiful pool. We had a few short trips out on the pedal boat/kayaks but mainly enjoyed being by the lake and being able to view the lake from the house. The house was clean and everything was in working condition. Easy to communicate with Connie. Would stay there again. ##### Chris R. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David P. 24 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing pool and newly renovated We had two families stay at Connie’s house. The house was super clean new air conditioning in each of the bedrooms and the main rooms. The pool was certainly the highlight with amazing views of the lake and the other beautiful houses on the lake for your viewing pleasure. The town is close by with places to get your basic food needs. We were there a short time but enjoyed every minute. Connie was kind enough to have snacks and s’mores for the fire pit which we used each night. The beds were comfortable and TVs in each. The house has it all I would definitely recommend you stay here hopefully longer than we did. Thanks for hosting us Connie! ##### David P.
