Great family rental
Pictures do not do the justice of how beautiful this home is. Brand new home, kitchen has all you need to cook for your group. Bedrooms have very nice beds, bathrooms are loaded with towels and toiletries. The view from the upper deck is breathtaking. Great neighbors. Would definitely rent this house again. Best bang for the buck.

Great House for Thanksgiving!!!
The host very friendly and prompt to all of request. He came over to introduce himself and made we were comfortable. The only thing that was missing was TV’s in the guest’s rooms other than that my family had a great time gathering in the media room for movie nights. The kitchen was my mother’s dream kitchen. It had everything you needing to host guest. We will be back for future stays.

Great space and location
This house was perfect for our extended family, and is on a smaller canal off the main body. The rooms are well appointed and house is spacious. The outdoor living area was perfect and the large island in the kitchen made a great central point for everyone to come together. I highly recommend, if you are looking for a place on the lake in Tool!
