Family friendly

A beautiful house with lots of space. Part of our extended family stayed here and were able to host a family dinner. There was plenty of room and the kitchen was well-stocked. I would definitely stay here again.

A well supplied kitchen utensils and pans etc. However, the filter in the refrigerator for ice and water dispensers needed to be replaced, so it didn’t function. A great stay!

Plenty of room and clean

We needed a place to stay for a celebration of life for our grandpa. The place was very roomy and clean. The nightlights in the basement were very helpful to find your way around. We just needed a place to rest our heads at night, but it would be a great place to stay and explore the lake and other amenities it has to offer.

Couldn't stay due to construction

Owner canceled on us due to house not being ready. Did not receive a full refund, as was stated in VRBO contract, and owner stopped responding to us and to VRBO customer service when asked to please resolve the issue. Very dissappointing and unnecessary. Home should not have been listed if it wasn't ready to rent.
