We choice this house the privacy and the location.Check-in was easy, and we had awesome communication with our host Patrick. This house is amazing. It is bigger than it looks. It was very clean, kitchen was stock with cookware, and utensils. Love the coffee bar area, it was utilized every day. The views on the property amazing. Definitely will plan another trip and stay there again.

This property was everything we hoped it would be. The cleanliness was outstanding, and everything was well organized. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen setup gave us everything we needed to prepare family meals, and having bathrooms and living spaces on both levels gave us the room we needed. Having the lake and boat landing so close allowed us to use our boat as much as we wanted, and the crappie fishing was an unexpected bonus. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises.

Family reunion

Our stay was great and the property was beautiful and clean. The only challenge was we had elderly people in our group and the spiral stair case wasn't an option so had to walk them up the hill to enter the upstairs.
