We enjoyed a 2 week stay here as a family summer vacation. The house was spacious, clean and comfortable with a nice view of the lake. I would recommend getting the linens package for towels and sheets. The neighborhood was quiet and full of deer. We loved the screened in patio in the mornings to enjoy the peace & quiet and the evenings for playing games. We rented a boat for our stay, which was perfect. The dock provided easy access. The lake at the dock was deep so you enjoy diving and swimming right off the dock. There were pool noodles, rafts and lily pad available along with a kayak to use. My only recommendation would be to bring all your necessary paper products as they do not supply much in that regard. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying here.

Great Property With a Couple of Quirks

Pros: Pet friendly, very clean, comfortable beds, plenty of space, right on the lake, great view from the deck, kayaks and life jackets provided, accurate pictures in listing, hot tub was clean and worked well, fire pit was nice, grill worked well and was new. Cons: You have to rent the sheets and towels for an extra 150. When we got there, we had to make the beds because there were no sheets on them. I thought that was weird and inconvenient after a 10 hour drive. Why not just charge 150 more and then have sheets on the bed? Check in is at an office that is a few miles from the property. Doors have keys and not codes meaning when you leave you have to return the keys to the office.

Nice location. Beautiful Home

We had a wonderful stay even though hurricane Debby brought rain for a day. The house is beautiful. Very spacious. The kitchen is well stocked. There were plenty of water toys to keep the kids happy. They especially liked the paddle board. They liked playing foosball, too. It was very convenient to have a community boat dock right around the corner. There is a nice screened sun porch. The hot tub holds 7 people and worked very well. Our dog is afraid to jump off a dock, so it was nice that there were wooden steps off to the side for a gradual entry. All in all excellent vacation spot.
