Aug 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our stay was perfection and everyone loved the house! It was clean and the beds were so comfortable. It took us some time to figure out how to turn the pool/spa on but we messaged the hosts on the vrbo app and they responded right away and answered all of our questions!! The neighborhood is super nice, but definitely on the quieter side. The lake was peaceful and paddle boards/kayaks were so nice to have. Overall, would 100% stay here again!! ##### Mackenzie K.
