The house was the perfect size, and the windows in the kitchen let so much natural light in. Well equipped kitchen as we made all of our meals there. Very accommodating for our fur baby too. Note: A gator got pretty close to the dock a few times, so make sure you keep your fur babies on a leash! ##### Karen S. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kayla S. 21 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful & Cozy This property is beautiful and cozy. It was the perfect size for our small family of 4 and 1 pup. The kids loved sharing a room while still having separate beds! The back deck over looks the lake and boy was it a beautiful sight! I loved that there is a pier for the family to fish and plenty of places on the property where I could sit and watch everyone enjoy themselves. The kids had so much fun and were not ready to leave. Not only was the property beautiful, but the host’s communication is worthy of more than 5 stars. They regularly provided important information, were quick to respond to my messages, and also had a virtual guest information book. This virtual book was very helpful with checking in and out, as well as basic information about how to use equipment on the property, and places to visit durning our stay. 10 out of 10, I recommend staying here. We will definitely be returning! ##### Kayla S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Tom D. 23 Apr 2025 ##### Tom D.
