Great getaway!
The place was very clean, updated and comfortable. Exactly what the listing stated. Quiet area! The only complaints I would mention are the porches. The front porch could be cleared of the spiderwebs. The back porch had a couple banisters missing, and the outdoor furniture was lacking vs the neighbors furniture.

Nice stay
Nice Condo, Easy to find. Easy access (like park and walk up 3 steps); Condo was older but had some nice upgrades. Looks like the owners care. Only item we found lacking was there was no hair dryer.

Gorgeous setting
A beautiful home in a gated community. Great communication via text and email for check in and check out. The home was spotless with comfortable beds. The only thing missing was fans to use in the bedrooms and a hair dryer. The view and sounds of the lake in the evening was so beautiful and peaceful.

Beautiful & Relaxing
We stayed for 4 nights and loved every minute of it. The property is just like the pictures. The neighbors that were around, not many, were extremely nice. Inside was clean and spacious. The only gripes I, well my wife had, the outside was not cleaned. Piece of cheese on the front porch table, and spider webs everywhere outside. It wasn't an issue for me since I realize we are in the woods. The second thing is there is only 1 pan for cooking. Not a big deal. I would stay again and recommend it highly.

Family Reunion
When my family arrived, the unit had not been cleaned. It had been marked "cleaned" by the people responsible for that. As soon as we contacted the agent, everything was handled. Not only did they do a great job cleaning the inside, but they also cleaned the front and back porch - including spider webs. My family had a wonderful time and we will book this same unit next year.
