This house was AMAZING! The pictures really don't do it justice. Our family enjoyed a week at this beautiful lake-front home. The house is very spacious and the outdoor living and pool area is phenomenal. The host also provides the best cookware and appliances in both kitchens (indoor and outdoor). We would most definitely recommend this home to all our family and friends!

Kevin was an AMAZING host and his communication with us was SPOT ON and very timely!!! The property was stunning and we absolutely loved the very well-equipped kitchen where we prepared every meal from scratch!!! The pool was used and enjoyed every day of our stay and we also had a lot of fun in the game room with the ping pong table. Although this trip was solely for some R&R with just my husband and I.....it would be highly recommended for families or couples wanting to get away with a lot of space!!THANK YOU KEVIN for all that you did to help me have an AMAZING bday get away with my husband...mission accomplished!!!
