We loved the three levels in the home with bed/beds and a bathroom on each level. We loved sitting on the deck watching the sunset over the lake. The beds were comfortable. BTW - the bottom level has all the features of a separate apartment but connects to the upper levels. We had two issues the property. The dishes provided were cheap plastic with cuts in the plastic. The dishes didn't fit on the top shelf (for plastic) of the dishwasher. Some Corelle dishes would be a nice replacement. Also the Lemonade rugs need cleaning and and the rug in kitchen slides around. It needs something to keep in in place. Also the gas for one of the firepits is not provided. On the whole, we did love our week at this property. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chaz G.

It is a break away from worries and responsibilities. The Lake House had everything from fire pit to hot tubs to kayaks and bags. We celebrated a graduation with close family and friends and it was fabulous. Slept 6 super comfortably and we could’ve slept more. Really enjoyed working with Lance. He was responsive and attentive to our needs and questions. I would go back to this place in a heartbeat. I wish I found it earlier during the first three years of my son’s experience at Carbondale.

Aug 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun stay Great stay! The property manager was wonderful. The beds were so comfy! The kitchen needed a few items for cooking meals but we made it work. Stairs are steep down to the water but the swimming and fishing off the dock were perfect for our family. Will stay again! ##### Hillary F.
