Even though the weather wasn’t great during our stay, the home was perfect! Tied our 20’ boat up to the dock, great water access to fish, and the screened porch allowed us to still be outside regardless of the heavy thunderstorms during our stay. Will definitely be bringing the whole family down mext time to enjoy this property!

The property is nice, but located at the end of the lake so the water is very marshy. No view from the house due to trees but they have a sitting area on the pier, about 20ft from the house. Bring your own condiments and seasonings.

Quick getaway
We stayed during memorial day weekend. It was a last minute decision to get away and we were glad we did. The house was a great fit for our little family. We tried out the kayaks, rented a boat for a day, and played baseball in the front yard. The bunkbeds were a hit with the kids. We cooked each night and found the kitchen to be very nice. The beds slept well. We wish we had more time to enjoy the lovely screened in porch.
