For the number of people that could sleep here the kitchen is not stocked well. No can opener at all and not a lot of dishes to cook with. One dish towel and an old sponge for washing the dishes.

Ok place to stay

Overall the place was ok. The couches were futons, very uncomfortable. The only comfortable bed is the one in the living area. Loved the location it was relaxing and peaceful. Close to a couple stores. The swim spa closes at 10pm which was a bummer they didn't mention that. The game room in garage was not much of a game room. Over priced for what u get.

Not prepared

I don’t feel that they were prepared for summmer went June 19 and no pool. The spa was ready , the volleyball court wasn’t cleared . There was no was clothes or hand towels, no dish towels. One smoke detector and had to call for battery, which they came quickly. There’s lots of sleeping arrangements but not really room for much more. We still had a good time but wish they put a little more effort into the place.

Lake Views

Views of the lake were perfect. Check in was easy. Hosts were attentive and concerned about everything being perfect for our stay. The wife is already thinking of getting a group of friends together to come back.

Amazing Location and Property Manager

The cottage was very nice to live on with there being an amazing yard and many activities to do on the location. The hot tub and pool was amazing and the house was very clean and well kept. The property managers were also great with them being very accommodating and helpful as well as keeping communications up to help out with any problems we may have. Overall we had a great time and would for sure rent again if the opportunity arises.

Perfect for 2.

We planned on relaxing and not doing much. We were able to watch the Beautiful Lake sunrise. It was stunning, the weather was almost perfect. Except for rain. For a couple days, we rented a pontoon. We saw 2 beautiful mute swans with 2 babies. 2 sand Hill cranes landed on the shore and were singing for us. In the morning, it was very nice there. Thank you, Frank, and a big shout out. Goes to Mike, who is the best caretaker I've ever met. I've stayed in a lot of VRBOs and this caretaker is. It's the best, thank you again, Mike, Frank and Team. We enjoyed our stay and we will be back.

A Holiday Weekend to Remember

It was difficult finding a place on the lake to accommodate our entire group. This gem had everything we needed and more. Plentiful places to sleep, hang out, play, eat, and just relax and enjoy the views. Frank and Tammi were more than accommodating, and were prompt and frequent with their communication. It was a pleasure working with them to make this weekend unforgettable for myself and our guests. It was so great, we want to return next year!
