The back porch was relaxing and the private, covered boat dock is really nice. The layout allows all guests to have privacy, and the large counter space in the kitchen was convenient.A state boat ramp is 20 mins away by car and boat. We launched our boat there and parked our trailer inside their locked, fenced area for 2.00 per day. It worked great. ##### Brandon B.

THE PROS:The owners have put a lot of thought and detail into selecting furnishings and amenities that appeal to a diverse group of travelers, including ample USB chargers, large, plush towels, an assortment of games, and a variety of water toys, floats, chairs and life vests. My normal grow-bored-easily nieces and nephews, ranging from ages 5 through 15, never got bored and (gasp!) got along for the entire trip! We had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy each other’s company, with the boat house (and ping pong table) providing a nice respite, though I will say the breeze from the lake and shade of the trees offered a nice balance to my he July heat. The house is updated and mattresses are extremely comfortable. My mom particularly loved watching the sun set from the deck above the boat house, and the swim deck was a fantastic touch. Check in and out was a breeze and I loved that the cleaning fee covered all the deep cleaning (no long check out list to handle). THE CONS:Nothing. Seriously: nothing. We loved our time and were sad when our stay was up, but we hope to be back soon to make more memories! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3989ff25-9bdc-4d4c-bd8d-d208ab962bd7-1753229576366.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f719400c-d980-46df-8465-d8e0dfaa6dca-1753229590125.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/179e9d0b-c9f6-4fe8-b4c0-ee7f5e311532-1753229580386.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0aedec97-9117-4ac3-86bc-342ab43c936f-1753229588661.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bonnie R.

It is beautifully decorated with everything that you need for a great relaxing trip to the lake. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. The living space and bedrooms were all comfortable. The outdoor area with the firepit, table and chairs to eat, plus the lake toys that were included were all top notch. They have kayaks, paddle boards, floating lounge chairs, and enough life jackets for the whole family if you don't have any. The location on the lake is at the end of the slough so very quiet and peaceful yet only a few minutes to the marina when you need gas. Our party was 2 families with kids that range from 5 to 14. Everyone had a great time and would highly recommend. You can't go wrong with this one. ##### Casey T.
