Oct 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Lakefront House We had a great experience at Papa Don’s Place. The location on the lake is very central and a short boat ride to main lake. We really enjoyed the outdoor area and fire pit in the evenings and our dogs loved the yard. The game room in the basement was an added plus and there was an awesome movie selection for quiet nights in. The house was exactly as listed, a little dated but very well kept and clean. The tub in the upstairs bathroom will need repaired soon as it has a large crack. The mattresses also could do with being replaced as they are getting a little long in the tooth. The boat dock was great to tie our boat up to but heads up you have to turn on the dock light switch for the outlet to work to charge everything up! The rental company was very responsive and helpful with all our questions. We will definitely be back! ##### Kathryn H.

Boat rentals a short drive away, with quick / easy access on lake back to dock. Restaurants also a short drive away. Kitchen was well appointed and house was clean, with everything that we needed. Accommodations were well suited for four adults and two children. ##### Richard S. Stayed 3 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlotte C.
