This was a great stay for our two families (4 adults, 4 young children). We had plenty of space indoors and outdoors to eat and hang out. The views are wonderful. We couldn't really fish off the dock (too shallow and maybe due to the winds?), but we drove around to find somewhere else for the kids. We had some initial issues with wifi and a toilet, but owner responded quickly with some help. Fun getaway for us!

The property was equipped with everything we needed. We did however purchase folding chairs that we could use down at the docks. The house had window units for the air conditioning on the " older " side of the home but they worked just fine. The view was amazing! Beautiful deck, nice deck furniture and grill! And a nice hottub, which sadly we did not use. Our dogs loved sitting on the deck, watching the boats go by! Town was just a 15 minute drive!

things to fix: nail was sticking 3/4" out of wood floor. I pounded nail back into floor. we were going to grill some burgers but ran out of propane while heating up grill.the extra propane bottle was also empty. grill was was filthy and handle was covered in grease. also, the roll-out under bed baskets are easily tripped over when going around end of bed. the waterfront was great.

Pro and Con
Interior comfortable and clean. Parking tight and no way to park a boat and trailer. The front Lower step was too far off the ground. Garbage can was full. We had to haul off our garbage. We had to park the boat and trailer at someone’s house in Hemphill. Never got to use the boat.

Great stay!
The place was easy to get to and the hosts made it a breeze to check in and start our stay. The place had most everything you would need for cooking and the gas grill was great. We fished and caught a few catfish and perch off of the boat deck. The place was very clean and well taken care of... great visit!

Great Weekend Getaway
Stayed here with a couple of friends for a relaxing weekend on the lake. The house was very comfortable and well equipped for the 3 of us and the dogs. We also got a lot of use out of the large dock on the water (fishing) and the kayaks provided. Communication with the host was also prompt, very professional. and polite. Would highly recommend this property, it's a gem.
