The floors were a little dirty and overall needs a good clean. Beds super comfortable and all necessities available. They could add some condiments and some spices. We had a lovely stay, the location was close to Hillsdale for parents weekend and also secluded by the lake enough to enjoy nature. Ultimately happy with our stay and would recommend to other families.

We came to area for a family reunion. Nice place. Clean enough. Wish it would have been closer to the main lake area. No way to get to main lake from house. The whole house fan was amazing!

Excellent getaway in a comfortable waterfront home.

We had an excellent time in a well-crafted home with a beautiful lake view. The owners put a lot of the thought into the amenities and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The rental service provided prompt, timely updates and were available for any questions during our stay. We brought our elderly parents with us and 20 year old adult children and had plenty of room within the home and easy access for my parents. We have stayed at many lake homes and this rates as one of the best for the price.

Nice weekend out of town with friends

Great spot! A clean and well appointed property with all the necessary amenities of home. Solid WiFi for staying connected. And really comfy beds and super clean bathrooms and kitchen. Nice view of the water, but be cautious of neighbors who will let you know if you accidentally step foot on their property. They don’t seem to take kindly to strangers. Host was super responsive with questions and very helpful! All in all a nice spot if you find yourself with a reason to visit Reading.

The house was amazing.All the amenities you need while going away.Kitchen was fully stocked with necessities.Bathrooms were fully stocked, hand soap, shampoo, towels and toilet paper too. Not just 2 rolls either or made of sandpaper. I noticed the solid door on the bathrooms. when redoing a house most people stick to the hollow doors to keep the price down, but the bathrooms were solid. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of fans to go around.Outdoor furniture was available, (the deck gets very hot) a small BBQ grill, (not listed in the ad). Even a George Forman grill was available too. Couch was comfy. Everything within the house was just great.My only complaints would be is, it was poorly marked, silver colored mailbox and the numbers were painted in a very light color, very hard to read and then the picture you see in the ad with the 2 doors is actually the side of the house so if you are looking for that, as you are searching for the house, you will pass it up as I did.The Kayak launch was awesome as were the lakes. I don't kayak as much as my husband; I really love the launch. My only other complaint & no fault of the owner, that the water off the dock was very mucky, lots of Lilly pads. I was hoping to be able to float out on a raft and swim there, no chance. Lastly, we were disappointed we didn't find out who the grumpy neighbors were. The ones across the water waved and said "HI" We were there over the 4th July. Boat parade was cool to watch. RECOMMEND
