I wasn’t going to leave a review, but since you asked. We had to stop at the neighbor’s house to ask where the location of the property was, and the plants at the door were dead. The grass was not cut and maintain. They no longer have game tables listed pictured. Cobwebs over the dishes in the kitchen. In my opinion not worth the money. The view would have been beautiful if we could’ve enjoyed it without tall grass.

Neighbor had a spot light that shined on our lake front deck which they left on all night. They also had dogs that barked constantly. The view from the lake side deck was very nice, relaxing and a great place but was ruined by the spot light and dog barking.

Relaxed and Recharged!!!

We visited with family for a high school graduation and made a great family weekend. The home was just as pictured. Clean, simple and very homey and inviting. We made big country breakfasts and had snacks during the day. We fished and caught enough fish for a fish fry our last night!! We were able to use the gas grill to fry our fish and cook our afternoon burgers. One morning we burned our gravy and activated the fire alarm!! Up Oh! Tim was so understanding and disarmed asap!!! He was a great host and communicated well! We made family memories that will always be priceless to our family. Thank you Tim for sharing your peaceful piece of our great big planet! We are well rested and back to the grind with awesome thoughts to ponder!

Perfect family vacation cabin

Our family of 11 had the best time at Tim’s home. Plenty of space for all of us, kitchen had everything we needed to cook and grill, comfortable beds, lots of outdoor areas to relax on with beautiful views of the sunrise. Easy to communicate with Tim. We tied our pontoon to his dock and used his lilypad and kayaks. Great place!

Memorial Day Weekend

We loved the property. The home was very well done and recently renovated. The downstairs area had 2 pull out sofas with a huge TV with speakers everywhere which was great for the young adults. The master bedroom had beautiful views. The property had a wonderful fire pit where we all gathered each evening. There were lots of outdoor spaces with seating to enjoy also. Tim was easy to contact and responded to our questions quickly.

Incredible view

Absolutely beautiful! Just got back from a long weekend stay with family and friends. The house is more spacious than the pictures reflect. Master bedroom has a wonderful mattress. Plenty of space in the bedroom, bath and closet. The kitchen is small but had everything we needed, and the island and shelving rack provided extra space. The downstairs was perfect for our kids. It has a surround sound system that was great for their music and dancing. Outside is the gas firepit. We used it for s'mores a couple of nights. Seating was great. The dock was wonderful! We used everything the owner graciously provided. It has a very large lily pad, 2 kayaks, 2 stand up boards and several floats. The water is deep which was perfect for jumping off the dock. 10 of us went and not one single complaint. It had everything we were looking for in a lake house rental and plenty of things that entertained the kids. One more note....it was exceptionally clean!! We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay for a family!

We really enjoyed our time at this property. The use of space is great. It has a very nice view of the lake and the Lilly pad and kayaks are great for just hanging in the water. We rented a boat and the location to the marina is very convenient. We also loved how close it was to the interstate compared to other parts of the lake. Time was also very responsive to our questions. Would highly recommend.
