It is ideal for 2-3 people. It has a downstairs bedroom with a queen bed. The upstairs loft has a twin bed.

A Perfect Lake Weekend

Only one word "Perfect". We stayed here in October 2021 and only thing was the driveway being dirt and messy after a rain. Well it's now concrete, so stay there if you can, you won't be disappointed. Clean, well kept, and minutes from a launch ramp.

great labor day weekend

Images were a bit misleading for the property itself, and relevance to the lake. We were surprised to find the house at the entrance to a neighborhood, with the porch and wall of windows to the living room facing the road. So, no privacy. Enjoyed our stay nonetheless!

Great modern experience!

Very happy. The property was clean and modern. Very comfortable and stocked with kitchen utensils. If internet calling is needed, you may need to intitialize wifi calling, but i needed to get a cellular bar signal outside as well. After i did this calling was good.Check in is a little late in the day at 4pm. Great place. 5 stars.

Good Stay- just needs a few fixes.

Our stay was good. The owner was very easy to get ahold, but just a few issues that can be easily fixed.. The floor was pretty dirty and the shower drain had hair in it. Also, the owner states there is little service, he isn't lying. There is NO service, so be sure to screenshot the instructions so you can get in the house and have WiFi. I have Verizon service and even going to the boat ramp did not work. I would suggest to the owner just to have the WiFi password written down somewhere.

Breathtaking

I chose this listing for a bday getaway to unplug. Everything about this place is remarkable. Communication with the host was great. As soon as I sent a message, within 2 minutes I had a response. Only issued that was had was the TV updating in the bedroom and wouldn't work but other than that everything was great! The listing is FULLY stocked. Everything that you could possibly think of was there and accessible.
