Very roomy house with extra amenities for our group. Lake was low due to power company so we couldn’t use kayaks, but looked like fun.

Everything you need and more! We stayed for 10 days and had everything we needed. Homeowners were very responsive and left a welcome basket for us. Movie room was a plus! We caught many catfish from the lake - a 40lb one too! Beds are comfortable and had plenty of linens. Friendly neighbors. Kayaks provided but we didnt have a chance to use them. Would definitely stay here again! ##### shelly r. Stayed 10 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fisher L. Apr 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Water Very nice well appointed home. Circumstance out of owner's control could have been informed earlier. We are avid fishers and had planned on doing that right from the rental property.However that was not possible due to hurricane damage and the dam needing repair which resulted in very low water levels. Fishing therefore was made inconvenient. Very pleased with location and response time when needing questions answered. Would recommend. ##### Fisher L.

The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. They were more than accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. I would rent this property again and again. It is a beautiful home on a beautiful lake. The owners thought of everything towels pots. And pans coffee upstairs.Every little detail was there. The owner checked on us a few times during our stay.To make sure we had everything we needed, and that everything was okay. We would definitely rent this property again. And would definitely recommend this to other people. They also had beautiful sitting areas outside a grill that we could use a fire pit that they encouraged us to use a sitting area outside with fans. They thought of every little detail, and it made the stay so nice. ##### Chelsey T. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### shelly r.
