We will be back! ##### Celie P. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheri W. 31 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 2024 Lake Vacation Property was perfect for our vacation. House was very spacious. Dock was large. We spent most of our time on the dock. Kitchen was very well stocked with dishes  It was really nice to be able to use the garage and having access to the extra refrigerator.  It would have been  nice to have a smart TV downstairs (it was a tube TV with a VCR no TV reception) so while we were playing air hockey and Foosball we could see the news or Olympics. Other than that the house truly met all our needs.  We brought our own propane tank for the grill because ad said we had to fill what we used (how do you measure that) but to our surprise it was plumbed into a large tank. House also had a nice gentle sloped sidewalk to the pier and deep clean water in the cove. Host was very pleasant and answered any questions we had promptly. We will recommend this house to other family and friends. ##### Cheri W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024
