Amazing Lake Front Vacation
My parents, brother, sister came from out of state for my son’s wedding. The lake was great with a dock. The wading, swimming area was sandy and free of algae. We floated in the water, fished off the dock. Caught a lot of fun large mouth bass, blue gill, and a pike. House was open and wonderful for many people who came to visit them during their stay. There were loons, saw a few bald eagles, and a lot of ducks.

Weekend family vacation
The house and host were overall very good. Great communication and kitchen was very nice. Linens and beds were clean and comfy. Dock and hot tub were fun. Just be prepared to bring everything. Our only complaint is that the house was not stocked: no beach or water toys, no boat rentals, no board games/cards, no firewood, no charcoal for the grill, not even bug spray/fog (and there are tons of mosquitoes).

4th of July getaway
This house was perfect for me, my siblings, and our families! Very clean and a perfect beach area for grandkids that came for the day. The owner was very accommodating and respectful. Sent a message after our first night just to check in and see if we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend if you’re looking for a nice, relaxing getaway on the lake!
