Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick B. 19 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Even though the lake level is down considerably, this home has an fantastic view! Very relaxing indeed. Our host was incredibly response to my all too many inquiries and never missed a beat. The house was clean and very comfortable both inside and out. It is clearly our host's second home, with all of the homey personal touches, rather than some stock vacation rental investment property. I look forward to renting this property again.
