This was such a beautiful property. The house, the sandy beach, and amenities that were included. We did have an issue with the sprinkler system turning on mid day while we were out back having a family gathering. Also, the bench that is out back of the property that overlooks the lake is not safe. My mom sat on it when we arrived, and almost fell forward. Seems as the concrete that once had it secure has given up and makes the bench move when you sit on it. Be careful. Overall the place was perfect and we enjoyed out stay.

Home was well set up for our family. Nice amenities! Diana and Josh were great hosts, timely communication and responsive to all inquiries! Area near the lake between steps and the dock was difficult to navigate (uneven combination of rocks and loose blocks)…or this would have been a 5-star review!
