Everything went smoothly for check in. House was exactly as advertised, very comfortable and felt like home! Kitchen was very well stocked, beds were very comfy and the view of the lake was lovely! We spent a lot of time sitting under the pergola enjoying the cool breeze!

We had a great time together at this house. The house was cozy and had lots of spaces for lounging together which is what we wanted! Beds were comfortable. The yard also had a lovely covered spot with a table where we spent lots of time. The one bummer was that we chose this place for the lake access. The listing failed to share that there was no lake access. It said “lakeside” and “lake view” but didn’t say that we couldn’t get to the lake from the house and that was one of the primary reasons we chose this place. Ironically there was a sign over the windows overlooking the lake that said “Go jump in the lake!” We wished!! We bought a kiddie pool because it was hot before realizing there was no outside water source! It gave us a good story and we cracked up as we bucket-brigaded water from inside to out. But there should be a note in the listing specifying no lake access. Other than that we had a great stay. The instructions were clear. Getting into the house was easy. And as an East-coaster, I appreciated staying in the home of a Yankees fan!
Red tape blocked the stairs to the lake, barring entry.
The stairs and lake level ground were completely overgrown.
Torturous ironic sign telling us to “Go jump in the lake!” If only we could have!

Great location, beautiful views

Our family needed a place to stay for a family gathering in a nearby town. The location was great and we loved being right on the lake. The living areas/kitchen are very spacious. Beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. We wished we had more time to just hang out. Communication with the hosts was great. We will definitely stay again!
