We stayed Wednesday through Monday and had a great experience! The house was perfect for our family of 6 plus 1 for one night. We could have slept more for sure. The property is in a wonderful location. It's 2 minutes from low water, maybe 30 minutes by boat to Paradise Point Restaurant. Can't say enough good things about the communication from the host. We rented a jet ski for the weekend along with the pontoon boat that we brought, and the grandbabies had a blast! Hope to make this a tradition!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience staying here and can’t recommend it enough. Before our arrival, we reached out to ask about the possibility of an early check-in, and they were incredibly accommodating. And allowed us to check in early at no extra charge. The house was adorable, spotless, and so comfortable, and the peaceful view made our stay even more relaxing. We truly enjoyed every moment and are already looking forward to coming back again!

Great house, lots of room, comfortable beds, large dining room. Owner communication was great. On site property manager, Robin, was extremely helpful. Stocked kitchen, large back porch and yard to enjoy the lake. Charcoal grill with charcoal provided. Boat dock and parking is shared with the house next door. Home is at the end of a campground, so there is no street parking. Recommend!
