This was a great experience for my family. We have dogs and the way the deck was set up really gave us a safe area to be with them. Communications and accommodations fit us perfectly. Thank you for such a memorable 60th birthday with my family!

The property and potato lake is a beautiful place to stay and perfect for a family. Since it essentially has two living areas, my daughter, her husband had their own area complete with mini kitchen. My husband and I stayed upstairs along with our grandson. He is a total water baby and at seven years old learn to kayak and catch fish. It was a joy.

A very lovely property. We all very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone. It worked very well for 8 adults. If i were to suggest anything, it would be to say that a new master bedroom bed is a suggestion. There is quite a hump in the middle.

Lake memories
We loved the gated upper deck so my dog could enjoy being with me enjoying the view, we made use of the yard games, kayak and paddle board. The beds were very comfortable, Plenty of chairs upper deck and lower deck. Lake clear and clean. My favorite time was having coffee on the swing chair early morning enjoying the quiet, calm water

Great Place
Lake home was great! Pet friendly, many extra amenities you don't usually get in a rental. Home was clean (some dog hair- but we are use to that), updated and tastefully decorated. Great back yard and deck looking to the lake. Love the gated deck for the dog. Felt very comfortable staying there,
