The lake views are amazing and the sunsets even better! My adult children and I enjoyed the kayaks and my kids fished off the dock every day. The kitchen is fully stocked and the space was perfect for my family of five. Best vacation!!

Beautiful house for our family to come together and enjoy the water for fun and fishing. Rooms were spacious and Beds were super comfortable! I love the coffee bar and fully stocked kitchen. Could use some maintenance though. Had AC issues with water in the basement so had to deal with maintenance during the stay. Showers weren't optimal, Boat lift didn't work and could also use a better vacuum for pet hair cleanup. Also...didn't notice that this house does not include a washer and dryer.

Enjoyed our stay. We had AC issue and Amy responded in a timely manner. Service was sent timely as well. The house was cleaned and worked well for our family. We had to go buy TP and paper towels due to no extra supplies. The kitchen had everything we needed. One major issue for us is the dock. We had two boats and the dock is not made for that at all . The dock definitely needs some work. It would help to remove a very old boat lift and add more dock support. Our grandkids and adults did enjoy a lot of water time. We brought large deck float’s that worked well. The view was beautiful! The only reason we will not return is the dock issue for our family.

Nice and relaxing

We had a great time! Close to many small towns for shopping, great fishing, boating, kayaking, nice places to eat at, lots of wildlife and beautiful views. Make sure to bring bottled water high iron in the water, bring extra bath towels, washcloths and hand towels (not enough),and hand soap for kitchen. Overall great place and we would stay again.

A great spot on a very nice lake

This was as advertised. A peaceful and very nice lake home. We loved the location and enjoyed what both the lake and Hayward had to offer. So many positives with this vacation spot. What would even make it better is the addition of a washer/dryer and water softener with iron filter. Thank you for having us.

Family get together

The property was clean. The dock on the water was wobbly. The deck and steps outside needed stain. I didn’t think we met Amy. A woman and her son were cleaning up to 4pm check in time and I’m not sure it was Amy Didn’t identify her self and said sh would be back tomorrow to bring another water canister. The rest of week was good!

Family reunion

We were there 3 years ago it looked the same. Had a Kerig now that was nice . didn’t have any issues My sisters rented a few doors down an aunt and sister in law rented a couple of miles away. It worked out well. Use to be a restaurant/bar at the end that was nice but was changed to a private resort ( we knew that ahead of time) missed that. Added a dog at the last minute but was not a problem! Overall it was a good time
