Great for families!
This house was great for our family! The game room was one of the main reasons we selected this house and it didn’t disappoint, the whole family enjoyed some friendly competition! The house was very clean and appreciated the nice linens in each of the rooms and bathrooms. Outside the house, we enjoyed evenings on the porch and swing and the kids enjoyed the lake (river), even though the water level is very low it was still great for kayaking and floating around. Overall great house and Ai (owner) was a pleasure from start to finish. Thanks again for sharing your home with my family!

GREAT
Leading up to the stay, the owner responded very quickly to any questions or concerns I had, as well as throughout our weekend stay. The check-in process was very easy and smooth. The house was in a great location and was stocked with simple items that you may forget (bug spray, games, condiments, etc). The house was also very spacious for 12 people, we never felt crowded. Overall it was a great stay and we would love to rent this property again in the future!!

Fun stay on the River!
We planned to float the River. The property was comfy and huge! We had ten people with us and it didn’t feel cramped at all. The pool table/ game room was a huge plus. The balcony was perfect for hanging out. Great trip!
