Great house for a crowd!
We had a great time at this home. Branda was very responsive and the house was wonderful for our group of 8. It rained one of the days we were there, and we really enjoyed the downstairs area and being able to gather together and watch movies.

Cozy Quiet Spot on the Lake
We had a great week spending quality time with family. We had plenty of laughs, lots of good food, and much needed relaxation by the lake. We fished, played in the water and just enjoyed each other's company. It was a great spot and the house had everything we needed for our home away from home for the week.

My family and I stayed here for Thanksgiving this year and had a wonderful time. The property is spacious yet comfortable and cozy. The games and den were terrific bonuses for the kids. Both the neighborhood and lake were beautiful and quiet. The owners are kind and hospitable. We have no complaints or critiques. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Excellent Property
We had a great time at this location. It was perfect for 12 of us staying with 4 adults, 6 teenagers, and 2 others, ages 10 and 7. The boat dock was greatly appreciated as we brought our boat with us. The kids were able to paddle board and use the swim mat provided by our hosts. Communication was excellent, check out super simple and no problems during our stay. Would definitely rent again!

Memorial Day Weekend
This property was amazing for me and my family! My parents, siblings and all my nieces and nephews joined in the stay and everyone was please! From the location, the downstairs room (which the kids loved), dock, and the abundance of rooms and bathrooms! We enjoyed every minute of our stay and was very pleased how everything turned out! Cant wait to book again for next year!

Ideal for big family gathering
This well-loved home was a great spot for our three families to come together. The teens had their own space to hang out, and there was plenty of outdoor seating. The lake inlet was a little murky for swimming, but great for small watercraft. Hosts were responsive to issues that arose.

Bigger grill
I came with my husband and 2 kids, sister and her 4 kids and my father and girlfriend. There was plenty of space for everyone and we had a great time relaxing on our vacation. Something we found really lacking was the grill. It was very small especially compared to amount of people the place accommodates. Overall great place to stay, would love to come back with a group of friends

Great time
This was a nice place to stay in a great location. The house is kept up well and it has a nice view of the lake from the back deck. Brenda is very friendly and was available whenever I called. The only knock I have is the "Ninja Course". If you are taking your kids for that reason, it is not quite as advertised. But, there is plenty for them to do so it wasn't a problem for us at all.

Great value for multiple families
Great house situated on a nice cove. 5 bedrooms plus a cool downstairs area with some elevated bunk type beds for kids. We were 3 families of 4 with 6 total kids and it was pretty perfect. Dock is great and I docked my 18' skiff there no problem. Swimming off the dock was fun. Cove is great for kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, etc. House is well appointed and comfortable. Back deck is really nice. When we did have a couple of issues the responsive owners had our problems solved within an hour or two. Would recommend!
