We had a wonderful time the house was exactly as explained and pictured. Everything was in working order and we enjoyed the hot tub and tubing on the lake.

Very dirty and had ants

The upstairs shower door had huge areas of disgusting, slimy, black mold that was coming off in chunks and getting stuck on my daughters feet which made it unusable so our group of 8 was reduced to using only one shower. I tried multiple times throughout the first two days to call maintenance...I would receive a recording and the line would transfer me and then abruptly hang up. Finally I reached a human on day 3 by connecting to the reservation line. They eventually sent someone over but by that point it was too late as we were leaving in the morning and wouldn't be needing the shower. The kitchen had little ants that would be all over your food within minutes. There were leaves all over the decks and debris underneath them (broken toys and yucky lake floaties). The beds were moderately comfortable. The extra folded blankets in the closets were dirty. Definitely would not recommend. The view was nice though!

spacious house that accommodated 7 of us quite comfortably

Loved the place - came back after renting it in 2018. Pool table is a hit with our family. Gaming controls in the basement were well used! Plenty of space to spread out and get some quiet time away from each other. Cornhole, firepit were great. main floor deck tables/chairs need to be cleaned regularly and probably ought to have a quick coat of paint to freshen them up. Love having the dock - we rented a boat for the week and had great fun tubing, fishing and touring the lake. We'll be back for sure!

Good place for a fall getaway

This was our 3rd time renting this property for a long weekend. Overall the stay was good and property was exactly what we were looking for. In the past the hot tub hadn’t worked for the weekend but this time it was functioning. Biggest thing for the trip this time was we had someone who had a deep cut and needed some first aid items but there was no first aid kit on the property. We had to run into town quickly for the items. I’d recommend stocking some basic first aid items.

Fun weekend trip

Rental process was a little cumbersome but worked out fine. Fees seem steep, but we got the lake getaway we were looking for. Would do it again.

Interior was excellent! Everything we needed. The deck and outdoor furniture was filthy and the key to the hot tub did not work. Overall I would give our stay a B rating
