Nice house for big families
Enjoyed a family reunion at the house with 6 adults and 3 kids. Nicely stocked with games and pantry items, along with thoughtful touches like assorted chips. The water is softened, but the owner had plenty of bottled water to get us started. It was too early in the year to spend time on the lake, but there is a put in close by and it looks like a great place to kayak.

Amazing Place
When we entered the house we couldn't believe how big it was inside. The outside looked small. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything needed to cook. Very clean. The bedrooms were very nice with ROBES and SLIPPERS on the bed. The bathrooms were very clean and had everything you may have forgotten ie: toothbrush, shampoo and even q-tips. Water in the bedrooms and bathrooms. This was a very nice place to stay. I wish we could move this house to go where ever we go. We had a great time.

The house was very clean and the additional amenities were awesome. Loved the touch of the robes and slippers in each room along with the snacks on the table. Had fun with Alexa. She did not respond to being called Alexis. I would definitely rent this place again.
