We did a girls weekend at this lake house and it was wonderful! Perfect setting for what we wanted. It was close to town for groceries and dinners. The house was perfect for us with the internet hot tub and lake view! Would highly recommend staying here our host mike was also wonderful to deal with!

Nice place on lake

Great place! 4 stars for location simply because its quite close to Highway 37 which can be a bit noisy when outside, but really not a big deal.

Newly updated, a little quirky

House was nice and new updated, but missing some basic: cleaning supplies, plunger, end tables in bedrooms. Disappointed front yard was not mowed and thistles were growing over onto dock. Perfect for pets that front yard is fenced in, but be careful as the house is next to the highway. Very noisy. I loved the hot tub and having laundry on site. The lake was nice, very small and muck bottom.
