We had very few complaints, and all were minor. The only complaint was that t.p. was not stocked in the hall bathroom, which was of course used all the time. Obviously we stole from the supply in other bathrooms and it probably was just a miss when restocking. We really appreciated the accommodations for as many people as we had.

We are a large family and we rented this house for the weekend to celebrate Navy graduation. The house was immaculate, and communication with the owner was excellent. There were things to do for all of us: the hot tub, bonfire, games, movies, etc. We had a great time at this house and would highly recommend it for family trips!

Home is well furnished, like it’s your own lake house. Owners are great with communication and friendliness-willing to answer any questions. The home even seemed larger than the picture portrayed! We had a family reunion with 3 generations and the home was perfect sized. Loved the sunroom off the kitchen for eating and cards. Lake is beautiful and watching boats drive by was such a relaxing experience from daily life.

Great Property and Manager

We booked a weekend here to have a 40th birthday celebration for a group of longtime friends and it was absolutely perfect for it. There were plenty of beds for our group of 11 adults to be comfortable. The backyard is where this place really shines! It's right on the water with a nice gravel bottom ideal for swimming. The large firepit, deck, and hot tub were all great social spots. We had perfect weather, but if it rained the plan was to move to the basement with the bar and pool table. Also of note, the place is a 5 minute drive to Woodman's for supplies and several bars/restaurants. The owner provided their phone number and was extremely welcoming and responsive to any questions. We definitely hope to stay again!
