We enjoyed every minute at this lake house. It is beautifully designed and laid out. Plenty of room and the kitchen was very well stocked. The decking is gorgeous and brand new and the little fire pit area is perfect for an evening fire with family. ##### tiffani t.

The house is spacious, well laid out, inviting, and beautifully decorated. All beds were exceptionally comfortable, and although we didn’t use all tvs, they are all very large, new, and had great speakers. The kitchen had everything you would need, and the host provided multiple thoughtful items such as extra napkins, toiletries, surprise cinnamon rolls, and plenty of trash bags. The lily pad was enjoyable as well! We will definitely be back with the whole family again. ##### tiffani t.

Plenty of room for everyone. Nicely decorated and we loved the abundance of natural light. Great decks and a wonderful fire pit area overlooking the lake. Not to be discouraging, but the stairs to the dock would be quite challenging for anyone with mobility issues. It is a beautiful walkway, but it is quite a hike!For our family, overall it was an amazing home and property! ##### Linda G.
