Location was perfect. View and proximity to the water was fantastic! The house suited our large family well. Indoor and outdoor activities abound for all ages. Probably the best stocked kitchen I’be ever had in many, many years of renting through VRBO. Hosts were very responsive. A five star weekend for our family. The family is ready to go back!

Great place for our annual boys lake trip! We enjoyed the pool table and the great views over the quiet cove. Not too many stairs to the water and the cliff jumping was fun too. House has a good supply of cooking needs. Note that the low setting on the grill isn't that low. You'll need to turn off sections of the grill to get to a low setting. Driveway is quite steep which isn't uncommon for that lake so if you're bringing a boat and trailer, be prepared to leave it at the top of the hill and walk down the driveway. We will rebook it in the future!

Peaceful home with great porches and even chairs on the dock that provided a nice place to sit on the water. Very spacious and pretty clean inside. Definitely a few places looking worn inside that could be spruced up a bit, but this house served our group's needs very well! Easy communication with the host. The driveway is very steep and while we did fit 5 cars at the bottom, we had to plan who went down and in what order, because with multiple cars there is no way to turn around once down there with multiple cars. Just an fyi.

We celebrated my husband’s 55th birthday with family and friends. Daniel the host was more than accommodating. He let us check in early and check out late. I know this could not have happened if he was expecting new guests. The house was very clean, well stocked kitchen, bedrooms very spacious and comfortable. The views were amazing. My husband said this was his best birthday. We will definitely be back.
