Perfect family lakefront cottage

This property was the perfect fit for our family vacation. We had 6 adults (great grandma, grandma, mom, dad, sister, boyfriend and 3 kids (ages 6, 4 and 4 months). More than enough bedrooms. The bathrooms were a little odd given they’re connected to the bedrooms but barely worth mentioning. The property had more than expected. Plenty of cooking supplies. Many basic pantry items. Cleaning supplies and paper goods were abundant compared to most VRBOs I’ve stayed in. The area of the lake is perfect for young kids as noted. The water is so shallow near the shore but deep enough you can rent/bring a boat and walk it to the dock area. Very much appreciated that there were fans in every room, although the cottage never got too warm. Also very much appreciated all the chairs, on the dock, near the fire pit and on the patio. My kids loved the sand toys too! The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 for cleanliness is because the carpets and the pillows could use a good cleaning. We would absolutely recommend and would rent this property again.

Forrest Dunes Golf Trip

We had a group of 7 playing at Forrest Dunes about 25 minutes from this home. Great location, nearby the course that easily fit 7 adults comfortably. This place is way nicer and bigger than it seems in the pictures. Great place to come back to each day after long hours on the course. Host was very easy to contact and communicate with.

Great Family Vacation

The house was perfect for our family (9 adults and 5 kids). The lake, beach, dock, and fire pit were great hang out spots. Jennifer was an amazing host who answered all my questions prior to the trip and ensured we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend this house to all of my family and friends!

Loved the house and location!!! Every night was a sunset view from the dock. Kids loved playing in the sand and searching for shells in the shallow, crystal clear water. Boat and kayak rental were close. We will definitely be renting again!!!

A very nice VRBO!

We rented Jennifer’s house to have our family Christmas on New Year’s weekend. It accommodated all 13 of us very well. The house is spacious and cozy at the same time. Jennifer is a fantastic host. She communicated very well and checked in to make sure all was well. I definitely recommend renting.
