Family getaway

My wife's family hadn't gotten together for a whole family weekend since the kids were about ten year sold. This lake house was the perfect gathering spot; it's completely up-to-date with gorgeous views and plenty of room. Robert was 100% on top of communication, and everything went very smoothly. We all had a great time.

Beautiful home!

The house was perfect for our family celebration! The owner and property manager were super responsive to any and all questions. The house was clean, and so spacious, fully equipped with all kitchen items, toilet paper, games, outside chairs for watching the lake, etc. We had a great time renting a pontoon boat. The lake is clean (as far as lakes go) and not super crowded which was really nice. No complaints. I highly recommend this property.
