We really enjoyed the outdoor space, the fire pit and kayaks. The neighborhood was beautiful and very quiet. Highly recommend staying here.

"What I liked about this property and home is that everything was well labeled and clean. They provided anything and everything you would need for a trip. I loved how their yard was shaded almost all day so, even when it warmed up, you could still enjoy the outside (along with the breeze from the lake). It was true that the sunsets and sunrises were amazing! I love renting a property where you can truly sit outside all day and enjoy it! The only thing that was a little tough for us was parking. We have a big truck and so the incline of the driveway was tricky. I thought it was a longer driveway from the picture, but we made it work. I would recommend this home to anyone wanting a nice lake getaway!"

"We had a great stay. The house was big enough for us all. A kids room that accommodated the teen agers and young adults. The patio is always amazing any time of day with the shade. We were next to the marina and docked our boat. Was easy and a short walk. We also went to a couple of the little beach areas they have within the same neighborhood. We had an amazing stay."
