Beautiful Lake House
This home was seriously amazing! From the minute we walked in the back door, to touring the home for the first time we were thrilled that the photos didn't do the in person experience justice; super clean and great layout. The beds were ultra comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean and had plenty of towels, shampoo, etc. The kitchen was well stocked. (The fridge was a bit smaller than we needed, but we made it work...we just brought a LOT of food!) Outside the deck with picnic table was perfect for meals. The lake is beautiful, but there is a break wall, not a beach with a walk out to the lake. It was fine because we just got in from the dock, but we didn't realize it. The lake also has a lot of seaweed, but the bottom was sandy and not mucky. We sat right in our floats and enjoyed the beautiful weather. The management company was exception with anything I had questions about or we needed so I appreciated that. Overall it was a GREAT trip and we were able to relax! I would 100% book again.

Beautiful home
The home was beautiful and spacious. It did not feel crammed and many vacation homes do. It was clean and we all felt very comfortable in the home. I have never stayed in a private rental that was stocked as if it were a personal home. As a parent of 5 kids, this was extremely accommodating for your cooking needs. Any item I needed was available. We loved that our pets could come as well and this home was 4 min from a grocery store!
