We really enjoyed our stay. The pontoon, the trampoline, the fishing and the quiet lake/neighborhood was a hit with everyone! There were 11 of us and the house was big enough so it never felt too crowded. Well stocked house and everything was labeled so it was easy to find items.

We had an amazing stay! This property truly has something for everyone—our family loved the water trampoline, volleyball, playground, and the beautiful sandy beach. The fishing was fantastic, and having a pontoon available made exploring the lake so easy and fun. The house itself was spotless, comfortable, and incredibly well equipped with everything we needed. Property owners amazing and accommodating! From morning coffee on the deck to evenings around the fire, every moment was perfect. We can’t wait to come back!

This was a very clean, nice house. The house, and especially the kitchen, had plenty of everything. We had gas for the grill, gas for the pontoon, plenty of towels, and all the kitchen dishes and appliances we could need. They run a tight ship. Our only complaintvwas that we looked forward to swimming, but the beach and lake were a solid weedy slimy thing.

Terrific location for family vacation

Our family of 9 adults and 9 kids enjoyed a lovely week at this beautiful property. The house and the property are well kept and perfect with many bedrooms. Our family mostly spent each day fishing and swimming, the beach front is exceptionally nice for our big group. The property manager, Amos is the best, so helpful if you have a question.
