As the title states we had a great stay. House is in a great location on the lake. We had rain most of the time we were there but still was able to take the jet ski's out each day and everyone had a great time. We had one issue with a bed that is a sleep number bed and one of the air bladders was flat and would not air up. I reached out to the manager of the property and in 45 mins they had a guy onsite and he was able to correct the issue. So this speaks to great service. Thank you for a great stay.
