Vandailia home
This home was very nice! If it had been summer, perfect with the water right there and shallow. We stayed for our daughter's wedding at nearby Gable Hill. The only issue we had was the element on the hot water heater went out, so no hot water. However, the owner sent Mike over to fix it and he took care of it!

Great Family Vacation.
We love being on the lake! The house was spacious with plenty of sleeping spaces. The lake front was great. The water was shallow with firm sand. The owners were very responsive to all our requests.

Great Location!
Create place for a family vacation! A large home on a beautiful lake. Any issues that arose were handled immediately by the owners. I would let future travelers know that the shower in the master bath is extremely small and that the kitchen is fully equipped but definitely not organized. Would definitely recommend the property!

Spacious Home on beautiful lake
We had a great experience with this property with our two kids ages 10 and 12. There is plenty of room to spread out and entertain if you have a large group. The home is stocked with all the comforts of home and the beds were comfortable. The lawn to the lake is large and flat. The lake water is clean and the bottom is sandy. We caught several small fish. We would definitely return.

Awesome house!
So well furnished and the kitchen was well stocked with amenities. We found everything we needed to cook our meals. Very clean, nice quality sheets and bedding. Great seating areas for multi family gatherings. Loved the view of the lake and the water edge was shallow and you could wade around. We definitely would recommend staying here.

Fantastic.
A wonderful experience for my wife and parents over a long weekend . Way too much space for the 4 of us, so I could definitely see this being a great place for a larger family . The home had everything you could need. Beautifull lake views, water so warm in September , fishing wasn't half bad either . Would definitely recommend .
