The property was absolutely gorgeous, and our host provided so much extra - life jackets, a paddle board, and all sorts of toys and games for the grandkids, as well as a fully stocked Keurig and an awesome barbecue grill. Would highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful time here. The home is well stocked and clean. The lake side porch was our favorite gathering spot with its swing, dining table and gas fire pit. We enjoyed the kayaks and floats on the lake. Definitely would like to stay here again!

Wonderful Stay!

We had an excellent time at this gorgeous property! The lake was wonderful and the house was perfect for what we needed. We had 5 adults and 2 children and everyone had their space and were comfortable. The neighborhood lake fireworks was an unexpected bonus! We loved our long weekend at this lake house!
