Great place for our group of 4 couples to enjoy the lake and the area. Excellent location, close to shopping and restaurants. Nice to be so close to the waters edge on a nice level lot. The lake home is furnished very comfortably and very well stocked with everything you need for your stay. Plenty of towels, dishes, washer/dryer, dish washer, 2 stoves and 2 refrigerators. Check in and check out were excellent. Would definitely consider another stay!

Cabin was spacious and well stocked. Beds were comfortable. Lake view was beautiful. The 2 docks were great for tying up our boat and fishing off of. Had it been warmer my kids would have swam in the beach all day. It was also great to have an additional living space on the upper level for when we wanted to spread out. Hosts were great about getting back to us with any questions. Easy access, good amount of parking. We will plan to stay here again for sure!

Fantastic kitchen...sharp knives, good cookware! Plenty of storage for our groceries. The level lot to the dock was great, as was having two bedrooms and baths on the main floor. Lovely enclosed porch, and the big dining room table was perfect for games and puzzles. Communication with owners was very prompt. Highly recommend!

Everything we needed and then some! Fully stocked kitchen equipment, soap in the laundry room, plenty of bathroom towels and beach towels, comfortable beds and extra blankets. It was the perfect home away from home and we loved our stay! We rented the whole house, even though the upstairs is designed to be a separate unit when needed. The upstairs unit proved to be the perfect extra space for the whole family to spread out and relax across upstairs and downstairs, making our trip even better. The host was very responsive to the one or two questions we had, but we didn't have any major problems with the rental or our stay.
