Super safe, super clean, and well stocked lake house. The beach across the street is perfect for launching kayaks and paddle boards. Nice dock for fishing. Friendly neighbors.

Outside
Inside was ok but the outside was poor the grill was unusable the outside furniture was dirty, holes in the cushions and stained, the kayaks needed to be carried across a busy road, wish they had provided a kayak rack by the lake, had asked about the dock availability as we were renting a pontoon for one day, there was a dock but it was not in the lake, we were told it would be installed but did not happen during our stay, limited inside seating and dishes we are a family of 7 but only 5 cups and 5 glasses

Spacious place for several families. We enjoyed the sunset and had several games of Cribbage. The beds were comfortable -lots of space for privacy. The lower shower door has some issues but not a big deal. We will be back next year!!!

Great escape
We stayed here while my wife covered call at a local health center. Kids loved it. The beach was great for our two year olds. They had a blast in the basement. Owners were terrific at communication. Thanks for a great stay!

Lake Evening Sunsets
Wonderful girlfriend’s weekend! The beach is right across the street from the house. Every evening we would grab our lawn chairs and head over to watch it. The beds are comfortable (everyone slept great) The only frustrating thing was the check in process but that’s not the owners fault- we never got the email from VRBO with the check in code so had to reach out to the host to get the info. Besides that- wonderful stay!
