Cooper Family Lake House

Swing from one of the huge live oak shade trees and enjoy a fresh lake breeze or drop a line in the water off the fishing pier. 2BR/2BA brick lakehouse on over 2 waterfront acres with a covered boat dock/fishing pier with electrical outlets for charging your boat, a paddle boat and a small john boat are also available for use.
We are now truly pet friendly, no deposit required and pets welcome. We have had no issues with pets in our 3 years, so we are not going to be charging pet fees any longer...
Frying all those fish you caught is no problem! We have a fryer available to all renters.
We also have a charcoal/gas pit grill combo available located off the back porch! Octagon picnic table sitting under the huge oak trees.
There is also a wood fire pit near the water that is perfect for weenie roasts and s'mores with the family! All-in-all a perfect weekend or week-long getaway!

Great time here.
Place was awesome! Smelled very clean when we arrived. Only issue we had was we couldnt get the t.v. work. Even though we didnt catch a bunch of fish, we still had a great time on pier relaxing and spending time with each other.

Dirty
I loved the location. Dishes were quite dirty. Grill was dirty. We had to wash everything we used before eating. Back porch was filthy. A leaf blower and a little water would take care of it, but had not been cleaned since winter apparently. On the good side, the location is peaceful, the air was cold and the beds good.

Have stayed here many times
Through the years I have enjoyed staying at this property. The location is great! This time it could have been cleaner. I provided some details on the topic directly to the property manager. We stayed two nights. The second night a large mouse (or rat) ran across the kitchen to the living room and hid. In the middle of the night (1:30), the mouse decided to come into the bedroom under the door. Fortunately after an hour of hide and seek, my dog caught it (thank goodness-I can’t stand mice) and we tossed it outside. I understand mice can get into a house through small openings. However, I didn’t feel like sleeping much afterward. This will probably be the last time we stay at the property. I appreciate all of the opportunities to stay there through the years. We’ve enjoyed it.
