The lake house was a perfect location for us. The kitchen had enough supplies to cook comfortably. We loved the firepit as well. The road is very busy and not that easy to take a walk but we did it. Also the driveway is very tight and it's best if you know how to back up well. We wish the communication with the manager was better. ##### Kim T. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Shannon H. 14 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thanksgiving Family Gathering Overall our stay was good. The house was clean and overall a great space for our family to gather for the Thanksgiving holiday. We unfortunately had a plumbing issue Thanksgiving morning but the owner responded quickly. He had the situation resolved before we returned that evening. The one thing I would note in the homes description is how narrow the driveway is. For larger vehicles a very tight fit. I also recommend providing a few more amenities for those that are traveling in for short stay. ##### Shannon H. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kara L. 2 Jun 2025 ##### Kara L.
