Great Lake House
The house is big with lots of room for big parties. The house has access to a doc right up the road where you can swim and launch boars and kayaks. The location is just great and was nice and quiet. Would definitely rebook.

Team Outing & Bonding
Our work team got together over the presidents weekend to bond and have fun together. We had three familes with kids ranging from 2 years to high school teenagers. We all enjoyed hiking the trails around bass lake as well as going up the Yosemite falls. The place is very cozy and accommodating. Tons of board games and books to read. Lots of spaces to get together and take a nap. The price was also very reasonable as well. Highly reommended!!

Great property!
Our family of nine had an incredible time at this beautiful and spacious home. We had some issues with ants and it seemed most of the blankets had not been washed in awhile. Also the upstairs hallway bathroom shower did not work at all. But the easy walk to the dock and the back patio made up for those small issues. We loved exploring the Falls and the lake too. We would definitely come back.

Solid Place
This is a nice place with a large outdoor deck in a forest setting. The interior is adequate; the only real complaint is that the floors throughout are filthy. Expect black feet, and if you wipe up a water spill, a black paper towel. Short walk to the lake with boat slip and access to a dock for diving from. Nearly all the shade trees are gone due to diseases, but there are tables and umbrellas set up to offset the loss.

Large, clean and great location
We were ten family members. There was plenty of space around the dining room table for our meals and games each evening. Convenient to local activities. Large living room and comfortable beds. House was clean and inviting. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, lots of spices. The best we have seen so far. Thank you

Amazing house!!
We couldn’t have been more pleased with this very clean, well equipped house. The kitchen had newer appliances and had just about everything you needed to cook meals and bbq. All the bathroom towels looked brand new. The apartment above the garage is perfect for a second couple to have their own privacy. Nice deck in the back for everyone to hang out and enjoy. Located in a very quite location just a short walk to the boat slip. We will definitely be booking this house again.
