Great place for our entire family to get together. Gorgeous home, everything you could ask for. The grandkids LOVED the bunk room. The large kitchen and big table provided a fun place to gather but we spent most of our time outside. The lake was awesome and the floats and life jackets provided by the host kept us all happy. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio with the sound system playing great music, s'mores at the fire pit, and just relaxing in the sunshine. Highly recommend!

We have stayed at this property multiple times and will continue to when we visit the area. The location right on the lake is great and makes it super easy to spend all day outside. The lakehouse is clean and comfortable and the hosts are super nice. Our whole group would highly recommend this property.

Over the Top!!!!

If you are looking at this property snag it right away! We were a group of 8 guys on a golf trip. We rent a house every year rather than staying in hotels. This home was far and away the nicest home we have seen. It's a beautiful place that has everything, and I mean everything you will need for your stay. Jackie is a very accommodating host and happily did some extra things to ensure we had what we needed. The neighborhood was great as well. This is a repeater for us and we will definitely rent the home again for our next trip.

This was a wonderful getaway for our family! The house is beautiful, clean, and offered many amenities and small touches to make our stay comfortable and relaxing! We brought our boat and played on the water during the day and enjoyed time with family around the fire or in the house during the evenings. We would definitely stay here again!

Incredible vacation

The listing does not do this place justice. The home is beautiful and fully stocked. The host is wonderful and responsive. We rented a pontoon boat and jetskis nearby. When not on those, our kids were in the lake near the dock where they could touch (perfect for 3-7 year olds). We can't wait to come back next summer!

This property has it ALL. An amazing space with time, thought and care built into every area. Inside is a beautiful home full of high end finishes, ample space, and welcoming accommodations. But our time was primarily spent on the incredible patio space with multiple areas to relax, disconnect and enjoy unforgettable views. What more can you ask for
