It was clean, quiet, and really enjoyable. I don’t recommend opening the sliding glass doors. They were really hard to close and lock back.

Great modern experience!

Very happy. The property was clean and modern. Very comfortable and stocked with kitchen utensils.

A Perfect Lake Weekend

Only one word "Perfect". We stayed here in October 2021 and only thing was the driveway being dirt and messy after a rain. Well it's now concrete, so stay there if you can, you won't be disappointed. Clean, well kept, and minutes from a launch ramp.
