Check in was easy. Adis communicated clearly. House was well stocked with dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, trash bags, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Most bedrooms have a bathroom off of the bedroom. The kitchen had a blendec, 2 crockpots, and lots of plates and utensils.

Beautiful new favorite location at south end of the lake

We had a great stay! The house is beautiful, new, big, and clean. The four master suites were super useful for our large extended family, and everyone else found space in the bunk room, extra room, and couches. Plenty of space and plenty of amenities. Owners were very easy to work with - great communication and an easy check-in and check-out process.

This house was amazing for our family reunion. Every family was able to have their own room and bathroom. There was no fighting or arguing over who got to shower first and there was always enough hot water. The games in the garage were perfect for our teenagers. We will recommend this home to all our friends.

Great Family Reunion

The house is large, fairly new, and has a great view of the lake while not being too far from the lake. We enjoyed the two large family rooms, the nice bathrooms, the ping pong table in the garage, etc. Plus, the included access to Ideal Beach provided a nice addition to our activities. The owner was quick to respond to questions we had. Overall, the 17 of us had a great time here.

Beautiful and Excellent Owner

We loved the home, it has large rooms for the family to gather, great large deck and lots of seating, large family rooms and plenty of parking for our 6 cars (one had a trailer). We enjoyed the views, the quiet neighborhood, and the upscale house, like the very large bathrooms, showers, tall ceilings and giant windows. The owner is excellent, very nice and very responsive. We felt at home and we knew we would have a great experience because of the owner. We enjoyed the access to the beach, pool and all the activities, a close drive away from the house. We ate all our meals on the deck to enjoy the views. The house is new and we loved being in the new house.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

We thought this place looked pretty sweet online but to see it in person is pretty awesome! Absolutely beautiful! Every room! So spacious! We took our whole family. Married kids and grandkids! We can’t wait to go back. Access to Ideal Beach was a must for me when I was booking our trip. This a just a quick drive away from all that Ideal Beach has to offer. I think our families fav part was the gorgeous deck. We spent a lot of time hanging out and playing games on the deck! Can’t wait to come back!
