Eclipse / Cousin Reunion 2024
The home was a great location the lake would be a wonderful place for a family to just relax and enjoy the water. We were a group of 10 Retirees siblings or cousins. We had to improvise a little on sleeping arrangements no one wanted the top bunk but the couches worked great. The kitchen and dining area were large and well stocked and labeled with everything you would need. You could use a new toaster. The checkin and out were easy. Thanks for a wonderful three days. Eclipse group twice in a life time!!!

Father's Day Weekend
We had a fun family gathering here to celebrate Father's Day. The house served us very well! The bedrooms are comfortable and the two living areas are nice to have. One with a big smart TV and the other looking out at the lake. The kitchen is well stocked with lots of labels to help you locate things and know where to put them away. The labels on the light switches were nice to have too! The grill worked without a problem for steak night. The back yard is beautiful with big tall trees and a sidewalk to the boathouse and dock. The dock is covered so there is always shade. We spent a lot of time fishing and visiting out there and watching boats and jet skis go by. The shade and the fans kept it comfortable even though weather was hot. We also had a boat and used the boat slip which was really nice. Having access to the garage was great too. All in all it was a great place to stay.

A great spot on the lake
This house was a great place to relax for a few days with a great view of the lake. We loved hanging out by the water under the covered area by the boat house. It was nicely decorated and had all the kitchen amenities you might need along with great touches like throw blankets and plenty of towels. Not every rental has these things and it made for a more enjoyable weekend!

Plenty of room, but could have used a third bathroom. Great location. We had difficulty with the T
We had difficulty trying to get local coverage on the TV especially during the storm on Friday. The outdoor gas grill gave us some problems. We used it on Thursday but on Saturday propane would not advance. We changed to another tank with no success. Your regulator may have to be replaced
