Spacious kitchen that is well stocked. Beds are comfy. We loved sitting on the deck for our morning coffee and meals. Having a dock all to ourselves for swimming in a quiet little cove was paradise. ##### Sarah S. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy S.

We had to rent a boat and the rental place was just around the cove. So convenient! The house itself came with everything. We had plenty of room. Being able to sit out on the patio or dock and take in the scenery was the best. ##### Cheryl J. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne V.

It was a great meeting point between the 2\. We had a great weekend at the lake! The home was great for our group of 7\. We did use the bunkroom for our 2 teenagers. The bathrooms are very nice and the kitchen had everything we needed. We rented a boat and a seadoo at Sail Grand Marina, at Shangri La. Loved it all! ##### Suzanne V.

Absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic location. Everything was clean and so cozy. The dock was amazing. No issues with cobwebs as I've encountered at other locations. Host was responsive (only contacted as we chose to stay longer). We did not want to leave. Even meet a couple of the neighbors who were wonderful and very friendly. I will be staying here for all my future trips. DO NOT pass up staying here. Pictures don't even do it justice! ##### Lynn L. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kendra A. Aug 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### What a view! We enjoyed our stay. The quiet mornings over looking the lake were what was needed. Communication with owner was easy & appreciated. Location was good. Grocery store (Wal-Mart) was further away than expected, so plan well. However, this would not keep us from coming back. Nice deck. Clean Easy to access upon arrival. Kitchen was well stocked. Washer & dryer were appreciated. Having access to the water via the dock was wonderful. Had a family of 5 adults (over 18) plus a 15 year old stay three nights. For a day, Three additional adults joined us on the water. It was a bit cramped with that many people. However our guests were only inside a couple hours therefore it was not an issue. I believe the maximum # to sleep is 8\. In my opinion 6 ADULTS in the living / dinning area is the most you could have & be comfortable chatting & enjoying time together. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We enjoyed our stay & all needs were met. ##### Kendra A. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shania S.

(only missing item was a blender). We enjoyed sitting on the deck, enjoying the views with coffee in the morning and drinks/on a meals in the evening. While we did not have a boat with us, the marina was minutes away which was convenient for pontoon rental.Note: Open restaurants were limited (we were there Mon-Wed) so we ate in more than we intended, but it made for the best views at meals.Would definitely stay here again. ##### Julia S.
