Great week at the lake
We loved this house! It was obviously updated and spotless! Even the dishes and glasses were top notch. The lake is small but it worked perfectly for us. We didn’t need to worry about boat traffic while our kids enjoyed themselves. I would definitely rent their pontoon. It was in great condition and a very nice model. We really enjoyed ourselves in this renovated home!

wonderful get away
I was leery because of the contract and paperwork prior to our stay but since I have never had an issue with an owner with previous stays, we went ahead with the reservation. I am so glad we did! The house was so cute and clean.
The amount of water toys and games that were available and not listed, was a fun surprise.
I have a 14 year and 10 year old and they spent hours on the lily pad.
We also rented the boat which was nice to use for swimming in deeper areas.
I gave four stars for listing inaccuracy. It has since been updated. The house had upgrades made after we booked and he added beds to the basement were great. It would have been a tight fit before that change.
I would maybe suggest a curtain to the basement door and a couch or reclining chairs on the deck, for naps!
Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful Lake Home
We enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and Doug was very friendly and accommodating. It worked out well for our small family. The only thing I would have changed is not having access from the deck to go to the lake. With the little ones it was a little hard to either carry them down the basement stairs or walk around from the front of the house. The updates in the house are beautiful and it has a perfect lake view.

Great Little getaway
This house worked out great for our family. Many little touches (soap, towels, sheets) made our stay at the lake feel a bit luxurious! Super clean and comfy! Kids loved the pontoon and lily pad!
