This house is amazing!! The pictures do not do it justice. It is by far the best house that my family and I have rented. The view of the lake is breathtaking...The owners have gone through great lengths to make the property like home. Both kitchens are stocked with every cooking gadget. Bathrooms include extra towels and toiletries. The bedding is as shown and the mattresses are extremely comfortable. The outdoor area is well designed.The support staff is responsive, polite and professional. I highly recommend this property and planned to rent it again.

Spacious property for a large group. We’ll stocked kitchens and warm and welcoming living spaces and bedrooms. Dock and kayaks and paddle boards were a blast. Better connectivity to the outside from the main living space, such as an exterior stair way off of the patio would have been really nice.
