Great house for big families
Nice house, good space. Helpful hints: stock some playing cards and family board games...just some basics. Also, add some larger cooking pots...needed since this house sleeps 12. Lots of cooking!

Anniversary getaway
This house is five star plus. Absolutely great home. Location, home layout, furnishings, amenities, etc, etc, etc. The only small negative is the TV's. They really need to be rethought. Property management is aware of this. Otherwise, we had a wonderful experience. We also highly recommend the "Bourbon and chocolate tasting" at Holy Ghost Distillery on rte 940! Excellent!!! 5⭐

Gorgeous home
FIVE STAR HOME… clean, well stocked with supplies for every room, incredible game room, super spacious, comfortable beds and furniture. Our family of 11 thoroughly enjoyed this stay at this incredible home. We had all the provisions we could ask for and the beach was a fun place to swim. I do, however, recommend that anyone who stays here thoroughly reviews the rules and regulations of the neighborhood/community because we were disrupted daily by security questioning our obedience to the rules (which we complied with according to the information we were given). We spoke to other guests on the beach who had the same experience.

What a gem!!!
I can't say enough good things about this property rental. We decided to book this house for a nice mothers day weekend getaway and we could not have made a better choice! We had 2 little ones, four adults and 2 grandparents and this place suited everyone's needs and more. The place is beautiful, nice and private, perfect for a relaxing weekend. It rained our first 48 hours straight but no one cared one bit. We thought the house was easily big enough to not be on top of each other and to find things to occupy yourself all day and night. Between just relaxing with the fam in that GRAND living area with a fireplace going, having a ton of fun in the game room jumping from game to game or even having some piece and quiet in the upstairs reading area or sun room looking at the lake view.... you just can't beat it. On our last day we did get a nice sunny day, got some nice deck time overlooking the lake and walked the cute little path out to the water's edge and had our little 3 year old's cast the fishing poles for their first time, just to add to the nice memories of our weekend (FYI my brother did pay for a weekend fishing pass to play it safe, no one bothered us or anything, I don't know if it was necessary especially for the 2-3 casts out from each kid, but if you were an adult planning to fish I believe you would need to) Finally we also have to say 5 star hosts as well, the owners of this house clearly care about your stay. Not only have they given you everything you could need for your stay in this house, but they also go the extra mile. For example, the table was set when we arrived or in every bedroom they had a little basket with towels and toiletries, even in the game room the table games were set up nicely. It sounds small but these are the things that can really set a place apart from so many of those "blah" home rentals that feel like a motel instead of comfortable home. Can't say it enough, A++ rental!
