Dec 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was a beautiful home and fit my family needs! ##### Michelle S. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christy L. Nov 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The house was so clean and fresh. The layout is gorgeous. The kitchen was top notch from the hidden refrigerator and dishwasher to the amazing gas stove. The dining room has the most breath taking view for coffee. Truly each floor of this home had a room with a view of the lake and a balconyto go with it. This was perfect for a ladies last minute getaway to recharge for the upcoming holidays, by the end of the weekend we were moved into summer 2026 plans so we can do it again with the whole family. ##### Christy L.
