Jul 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely Home The house was very lovely, only tough part is the steep driveway but it is still manageable. My friends and I had lots of fun with the ping pong table and grilling in the backyard. Super close to the lake which was very nice. The beach part was closed off so we couldn’t get into it but there was a dock you could fish off of. The host was always available and answered all my questions! ##### Lindsey M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janice N. Jun 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Mini vaca/ baseball tourney The house was exactly as listed and the host was very quick to respond to my questions. The grandkids enjoyed the park and the lake. We grilled out for dinner and ate on the patio. Later we enjoyed s’mores by the fire pit. They also played ping pong in the basement. It was nice that the house has games and toys for little kids also. The only thing I wish the house had a dining table so we could all eat together inside. We enjoyed our stay. ##### Janice N.
