This home was fantastic for our weekend away in Alexander. The location and yard was great for our young families and we found the home to be clean and well presented. The bedroom situation worked well for two families and the kitchen was well set up for cooking. One warning - if you have young kids, the stairs are right when you walk in and a bit impossible to keep babies and toddlers away from it. We had to buy a baby gate from Walmart immediately. Overall, I would recommend.

We had a wonderful time. This is a beautiful lake. Our grandchildren spent everyday in the lake. Nice landscaping to make it easier to get down to the dock. 4 teen girls slept in the game room area. The house is very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this property.

Would definitely stay here again! Mosquitoes were really bad at night but this is not the owners. Maybe one suggest would be a small screen in area in the backyard so you could enjoy the lake at night. Otherwise everything was great. The property was VERY clean and updated. Loved all the refrigerator space definitely a plus for bigger groups. Location was great close enough to town and other lakes with still a lot of privacy. Thanks for having us!

July 7-11 family vacation

Property was great and accurately advertised. Neighborhood is very quiet and plenty of privacy. We had a great time fishing in nearby lakes and had great fun right off the dock at sun down.

Nice place!

This VRBO was a great place for a family gathering. We had a good time hanging out on the back spacious deck viewing the water. Kids loved using the kayaks. Cons: a ladder on the dock or easier way to exit the water on shore would have been nice

We enjoyed this house and grounds very much. The house has very recently been redone with a new kitchen and kitchenette, new flooring, new furniture, towels, linens, etc. the kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed. The outdoor space is beautiful. Just outside the front and back door are expanses of lawn where the kids played. Beautiful stone works creates multiple pathways to the lake. The views are beautiful! We only wished the weather would have cooperated so we could have seen a sunset but we can’t hold the hosts responsible there.
