We had high expectations and this place exceeded all of them. The lake was serene and peaceful. The neighborhood was so quiet and nice. The house itself was gorgeous with a lot of activities. We were surrounded by nature and birds singing in the morning. I can’t wait to go again

Awesome house. George was super friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

I normally don’t leave reviews but, the house was nice as far as the view but that’s about all. We arrived Saturday, the house was not cleaned properly, spider webs on in and outside of the home. If your traveling with grandparents its not the place for you. The jacuzzi only worked for 5 minutes, barely enough propane for the grill and the location for the store is miles away from the property. Please look for something that is close and better to accommodate your family or guests.
