A Frame State of Mind
A Frame of Mind is perfect. The house was was like being in your own home. It is clean and has everything you need. You wake up to a beautiful sunrise every morning. From the house to the dock and water toys it’s has everything. Thanks for a great week of memories with the kids.

Relief and Relax
The property was what we needed and what we wanted. Its a beautiful home on the water. Great lake access and everyone enjoyed themselves. We had a tornado roll through our second night on the trip. With that storm, we lost power and could not leave the house for 2 days until power companies fixed the lines on the road. The management company stayed in contact with us via text to make sure we were okay and helped us get connected with what we needed for the remaining part of the week. Lakecations came out and helped us get internet working for my special needs daughter and took care of us. They answered any text to make sure things were being worked on. The house did not have any major damage. Its a cozy house with great decor and made us feel right at home during this crazy weather week. We loved it and the service was wonderful. I would recommend. We were a family of ten and we all had plenty of space.

Great property in a beautiful cove
A Frame of Mind was a wonderful home on a beautiful level lot and fenced in yard. The flowers on property were so pretty. The home was well equipped and the bedrooms large with plenty of space. The garage was converted into a game room with a fridge and a bedroom with a bathroom. The dock was convenient and tucked just outside of the main channel area. The property management was very responsive to any questions we had even if they were just small, "where is this switch?" type questions. Overall, our family had a great time and would love to stay here again in the future.

Relaxing lakeside paradise
Our family of eight spent three days, relaxing, eating and drinking, almost entirely on the back porch overlooking the lake. We use the kayaks and the paddle boards to explore the lake. Everything we needed was in the house. Anytime we needed anything, a call to the rental company fixed it almost immediately. We will definitely keep this one in our favorites.

Great spot on the lake!
We had an amazing time at this property. The communication was thorough, and the location on the lake was awesome. We rented a boat from a nearby marina and had it delivered to the house, which was fun and easy. The house was fantastic and clean, and the back yard and fire pit were wonderful. We had a really nice time overall.
My only recommendation would be that the owners take a look at moving or replacing the smoke detector in the kitchen. It's just above and to the side of the oven, and it would go off ever time we opened the oven--not from smoke but just from the heat coming out of the oven. It was extremely sensitive and went of unnecessarily multiple times while we were cooking. Just a suggestion. Thanks so much!
