We just got back from eight nights at this lake house. and it is everything it says it is. We brought down two boats. They had a dock/slip that came with the rental property and we were fortunate enough to be able to rent an empty dock from the neighbor so we didn’t have to pull the one boat out every night. The lake was super nice. It was like glass and it was huge! we tubed and there’s a couple restaurants on the lake. There’s a sandbar where people gather and just drop anchor, play water games, let the kids run around. Listen to music. And enjoy the 90 degree weather! It was just perfect. exactly what we were looking for.. The house itself is laid out nicely. It was very clean. They thought of everything and they had everything you would need. There was a pool table, hot tub, and fire pit. Every bedroom plus common areas indoors and out had a TV. The beds were super comfortable. It was just a very very well thought out layout. There’s a golf cart to get you down to and from the lake. The dock where you could just sit and watch the sun set or rise Plus, they had paddle boards and kayaks included with the rental. There was just plenty of stuff to do on the lake. It was exactly what we were looking for. The host responded to the questions we had in the beginning promptly and we did not have to bother her During our stay because everything was as stated (and then some). However, do watch the inside wood stairs going down as they can be slippery. ##### SHELLY P.
