Exactly what we hoped for. Wish we would have had more time than 2 nights. Did some fishing off the dock, enjoyed the peacefulness of the yard and the lake. Driveway is very steep but we knew this ahead of time so no issues.

Summer Fun before the start of School

For the price couldn’t have been happier. Kids enjoyed swimming around the dock and were able to catch a lot of bream that was fun for the kids. Boat house could have been cleaner to use with boat to park inside and the dock needs some up keep. But still a great trip and only an hour away!

This deserves more then 5 stars

We booked this home for 3 nights when we evacuated Florida for Hurricane Milton. I can not say enough about how homey and welcoming this property was. It was perfect right on the lake, super secluded and quiet, and allowed us to bring our dog Jax. Ben was super communicative. We were so lucky to be able to evacuate to a beautiful property that allowed us to get our mind off of what was happening at home. We will Definitely be back!
