The house was perfect to have the younger adults occupy the basement/game room while the adults relaxed on the deck or living room. The variety of water activities were a big hit with everyone. We made good use of the grill too. Bring your bug spray because… lake=mosquitos. We had such a good time, we’re already talking about another stay. ##### Kerrie H.

We had multiple families with kids come have a weekend getaway and we comfortably fit everyone into the house. The house has great views of the lake and the kids loved playing in the lake and on the floating lilly pad. The adults loved the fire pit for after the kids went to bed. We accidentally left something behind and the owner was nice enough to find it for us and mail it back to us. Would highly recommend this property. ##### Michael D.

Plenty of room for everyone! Nice dock, and lots of provided activities. The important things (toilets, showers) were clean, however the house needs a good deep cleaning. The upper level bedroom doesn’t cool well. So be prepared to not enjoy the view because you must keep the curtains closed to maintain the temperature. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything you need. The outdoor spaces were fantastic. We had a great time. ##### kym s. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy W. Jun 4, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet & Clean We had a great experience, thanks to such wonderful hosts. They went above and beyond to work with us on the rental after some system issues that initially messed up the reservation. We appreciated their flexibility and willingness to make it work. Once we were at the house, we found a great property in a quiet area of the lake, that worked for our extended family trip. The AC & fans were great and sufficient for cooling the house, even though the upstairs didn’t have a separate unit. The wifi was up to the task of 4 kids periodically streaming music/movies when we weren’t out fishing. There was plenty of table space and a wonderfully large kitchen with new appliances to do meal-prep in. We loved all the extras - kayak, paddle board, foosball, snow cone maker, fire pit, grill, etc. Be aware that there is some significant elevation to get down to the lake. If you have folks who are unsteady on their feet, or not good on stairs, then make sure they’re okay with not going down to the lake. Overall, it was a wonderful trip. ##### Amy W.

We rented a boat for the week so I would suggest that. Stairs to water were doable but may be an issue for those with medical conditions or limited mobility. Swimming off dock was fun too! There were 10 of us and fit comfortably. Would rent again! ##### jamie k. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tracy C., Raleigh NC Aug 15, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun family getaway This house was spacious, clean and the perfect family vacation spot. We had so much fun, playing games, making sno cones, playing football/pool and paddle boarding/kayaking/fishing/swimming. The only thing I would recommend is more seating in the family room and the downstairs table… two love seats in the family room and four chairs at the downstairs table is not enough for the people that fill 5 bedrooms to congregate together. Owner was very nice and easy to get ahold of. Will definitely be back!!!! \*\* used what’s up water sports to rent a boat for the day and they were horrible to us! Would definitely read their google reviews and look else where\*\* ##### Tracy C.

Has been updated recently. The best park of a lake house for me is the outdoor space and this house doesn’t have that inviting outdoor space. The deck off the back has furniture that needs replaced and not comfy. Ripped and mildew on cushions. No stairs from the deck to the back yard. The fire pit area is sitting on a hill and the chairs out there are not level and also have seen better days. So not the best spot to go hang out or sit and read a book. Only one family area to sit inside. 2 small love seats. So maybe 5 people max. Downstairs has fun games but no where for the family to sit and hang out except a big table but we had some rain and wanted to watch a movie and not enough seats for 8. The upstairs bedroom is very warm. They do have a fan up there for you but it is hot and muggy up there. It needs its own AC. The beds are comfy and the kitchen is nice. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [C'mon Inn Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Cmon-Inn-Hotel-Suites.h1510580.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club Kings’ Land Waikoloa](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Kings-Land-By-Hilton-Grand-Vacations.h2303745.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information) > > [Bavarian Inn of Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Saginaw-Hotels-Bavarian-Inn-Of-Frankenmuth.h9809515.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Desert Willow Villas, Palm Desert](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-The-Westin-Desert-Willow-Villas.h3304313.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Desert Oasis](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Welk-Resorts-Palm-Springs.h1140793.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.ca/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah's Cherokee – A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Cherokee-Hotels-Harrahs-Cherokee-Casino-Resort.h13319510.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Waikoloa Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikoloa-Hotels-Hilton-Waikoloa-Village.h19640.Hotel-Information) > > [Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Angel-Of-The-Winds-Casino-Resort.h9689970.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Semiahmoo Resort Golf & Spa, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Semiahmoo-Resort-Golf-Spa.h13986.Hotel-Information) > > [Shooting Star Casino & Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thief-River-Falls-Hotels-Shooting-Star-Casino-Hotel.h28874246.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Southern-Pines-Hotels-Pine-Needles-Lodge-Golf-Club.h2222358.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tipsy Pelican- The Best Place To Relax!
