This house is in a great spot on the lake. The downstairs bedrooms with en suite baths are spacious. The upstairs layout is odd - One huge bedroom with two small bedrooms that open into it, and one bath. One of those upstairs bedrooms has a queen bed, the other has a flimsy, very low bunk bed. Maybe good for a family with small children, but awkward for adults to share. AC worked great. The back deck has bug issues, but has a beautiful view. Host was responsive.

Great family-oriented place with lots of room to gather. Kitchen was perfect for cooking our thanksgiving dinner - and we had lots of cooks! Bedrooms are clean and spacious. The lower level by the garage looks to be a bit of a work-in-progress, but there’s plenty of space without using that area.

House was very nice however there was no crib or pack n play as was advertised. Could not access washer & dryer. Hot water was slow. Would have been nice to have some hangers in the large closets to hang some clothes. Yard and dock area nice as was the grill.

Great location on the lake!

The house is nice and organized. The floor plan is spacious and the appliances in the kitchen are new. The grill outside is new and worked great. The air conditioners in both the upstairs and the main level work great. The house is in a good spot on the lake close to grocery stores and restaurants. Our boys love to be pulled in the tube and we didn't have to go far on the lake to find great areas for that. The boat dock is in good shape. Just FYI, there are several stairs leading up to both the front and back doors so be prepared for that! There is an elevator available for use but I did not inquire about it. It was locked when we arrived so we just used the stairs. The laundry room is on the lower level in the garage area which is only accessible by going outside and down the stairs if you do not use the elevator. The owner/host of the property is very polite and responded quickly and answered any questions I had. My family and I enjoyed our stay at this lake house.
