Beautiful Property and Amazing Experience
Our stay was absolutely perfect. The location, views and relaxed environment couldn’t have been better. We were also extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the large property. Nothing was neglected or gave the impression of just surface level clean. The hosts have thought of everything that might be needed for comfort, even down to an air fryer oven, baby utensils, a safety gate, games, books, extensive water activity coverage.. I could literally go on. Thank you so much to the hosts for helping create such a perfect experience for me and my family. This was a very special trip to us. I admittedly have high expectations and this stay exceeded them.

Family Vacation
We have stayed in many rentals over the years and by far this property was one of the best supplied with amenties both inside and outside. Both the lake and the neighborhood were extremely quite all week. There were a few minor maintenance items that need to be fixed, kitchen faucet handle, dinning room light, storm door, and some loose door handles but that didn't keep us from having a wonderful week.
