Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica P. 6 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful spot on the water We traveled with our 2 kids and another family of 4 over the 4th of July. The house is nicely updated with comfy beds and furniture. As someone who cooks a lot, I appreciated the quality kitchen utensils, as most rentals have dollar store quality supplies. The kids loved the lake and we all enjoyed the hot tub. The lake is clean and wasn’t very busy even on a holiday weekend. The owners were kind enough to put the dock in so that we could bring a boat. Communication and check in were easy and pleasant. Would definitely stay here again! ##### Monica P.
