The house was great, perfect for adults plus kids. We appreciated the little touches, like lots of games for the kids, a sandy beach area, and water toys. The owner was super easy to communicate with, and a small issue with the hot tub was taken care of right away.Lake City itself doesn't have a lot to offer except for the ice cream shop. And the part of the lake the house is on is very shallow and full of weeds. But the house itself was great.

Family short vacation

Eight of us in total stayed. Myself, my husband along with our 3 adult sons and their wives. We also had 2 dogs. The house had everything we needed, very well equiped. Anything you would need in a home away from home. We were able to leave our Deckboat out in front off the dock, so that was fantastic! The fishing in the lake was good, and the swimming lovely. Overall we had a great time our host was wonderful, answering my texts quickly, and answered all my questions. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful house and location

I would recommend this home 100%! Newly updated and clean. Was a little smaller than it looks in the pictures (great photography), but we made due! Awesome dock if you want to bring a boat. Garage has all games and beach chairs a such- a really nice addition. We had 4 adults and one child in the house and there were enough rooms and bathrooms to accommodate!! Great communication from the owners and check in was a breeze. 10 outta 10!
