The hosts were very friendly and easy to reach. The home was beautifully decorated and well maintained. The kitchen had all the amenities needed for cooking and dining. The hot tub was available as well as boat and jet ski rental. The home was located right on the lake. We enjoyed coffee outdoor in the morning on the balcony. I would definitely stay there again!

House & Host exceeded our expectations!
Great house and even greater host! Every aspect of the house and every contact with the host was exceptional. We have stayed at many VRBO's, but this is the first that was so impressive that I felt compelled to leave a review.

Wow What a beautiful Property and Experience
I don't know where to start. This place had everything we could ask for! Views were amazing! House was beautiful, even better in person! Water was perfect! Weekend weather perfect! Hosts were great! They really went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our time at the home and on the lake. Even coordinating a boat rental for us. Kids had a blast playing in the sand or on the kayaks. They played all morning on the lake and then bounced all evening on the trampoline. Book It! This place was the best rental we've ever stayed in! We can't wait to schedule out next weekend back before the summer is over!
