We enjoyed lots of lake time, relaxing on the deck and playing ping pong! The house was nicely stocked with basics - toilet paper, paper towel and trash bags - which was really nice. The kitchen had everything we needed and they also had a grill. Will definitely be back! ##### Lynne D. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth K.

The property had a game room with several fun things to do, a large lawn for playing yard games, a large deck for sitting and chatting, a large table for playing games in the evening, and a nice dock to swim off. We also rented a pontoon so got to see the beautiful lake. The owner was a great communicator and supplied everything we needed. ##### Beth K.
