Our family had an incredible time staying at this beautiful property. No detail was missed to make our time unforgettable in the best possible way. The bedrooms were comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well equipped. The pool and slide were so fun and the water pleasantly warm for the end of September. Adults and kids had a blast on the lake with provided kayaks and stand up paddle board. Other memorable highlights were family movie nights in the state of the art theater room, hot tub time, and gathering around the fire pit to end one fun day. We are already planning the next time we can go back. Don't hesitate to make this your next family or large group gathering place. You will be thrilled!
