Very comfortable beds lots of room. Location was just a little bit hard for one of our handicap people. Property is located at the bottom of a very steep Hill. We couldn't get the TV downstairs to come on and see anything. Overall it was a good stay. ##### Kathy H.

We had a group of 11 friends and family scattered across the country who were seeking a somewhat centralized location to gather and enjoy some low key time together. This property fit the bill perfectly! From the earliest planning stages (a full year beforehand) to while we were actually onsite, Brandon was in regular communication with us to address any and all concerns or questions that we had (and things did get complicated with date and guest count changes). So absolutely first rate in that regard. The property itself is beautiful and extremely functional- it should meet the needs of any group ranging in size from 6 to 12 people (more if you don't mind using pull out sofa-beds, etc.). Slight ding on the cleanliness at check-in due to some things the cleaning service had missed, but I am confident these were an isolated occurrence. Overall, a wonderful VRBO experience! ##### Chris S.

Brandon's house was a perfect place to gather for a Thanksgiving get-together. He was helpful and communicative, the check-in process was easy, and the house was well-stocked and clean. We loved the view of the lake, the ping-pong table downstairs, and the playroom upstairs. We loved the big table and plenty of chairs for our large family! Would highly recommend staying here! ##### Anneke S.

Stayed 3 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa S. 11 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing, private getaway Spacious house for big gathering of 3 families. Great location! Beautiful view of lake. Nice, spacious kitchen, really nice coffee maker, and oven/stove, spacious fridge. Enjoyed multiple beds and bathrooms. It was so nice to have the playroom and games room. Central air conditioning was a blessing. Lots of indoor space to hang out in large and small groups, as well we enjoyed the spaces on the the back deck and front porch. Kids enjoyed the built in bunks, especially the individual lights for reading and the bottom bunks being double beds. They were very comfortable beds. Beds in playroom were also very comfortable. Basement bed was very comfortable Firewood provided was a blessing. Bench swings around fire pit and on front porch was a nice feature. Swimming off the dock was very refreshing and fun. Communication with owner was easy and helpful. Owners were quick to get us more towels and coffee filters when we let them know that there was a shortage for our group of 15. Local Dollar General had almost everything we needed for our stay (aside from the items we had purchased at Costco before our arrival). A few things to be aware of: Sticky island counter (likely a varnish issue, not a humidity issue as we had initially thought) There were NO basic baking ingredients like salt & pepper, sugar etc. as mentioned under “what is provided” on the Rental Info sheet. For such a big place with space for up to 15 people, there were only 2 wine glasses, and not enough larger serving bowls. There were only 2 extra blankets in the whole house. BBQ grill needs to be replaced. Flames and hot spots in some places while burgers remained uncooked in other spots. Steep driveway. There are almost 150 stairs to the dock. There is mention of “lots” of stairs but over 100 steps could be a deal breaker for some. Noticed Poison ivy and poison oak on the trail down to the dock, and covering at least one tree in the front yard, even growing in the front garden. Chiggers became a problem for several people in our group. Overall amazing place and would definitely come back! ##### Lisa S.
