May 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful lake house! This is truly an amazing vacation rental. The home is beautiful and spotless. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay peaceful and relaxing. The views of the lakes are spectacular. The location is private but not too far away from grocery stores and restaurants. Delivery for both is available.We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to everyone! ##### Jennifer C. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim P. Jun 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, peaceful location The home is beautiful, wonderful quiet location. I think we enjoyed the kitchen most of all since ours is currently under renovation, we’ve been eating out nightly. We enjoyed cooking dinner every night. it could use a pizza stone and a pizza cutter. We enjoyed the pool when we were able to use it, unfortunately we had a very rainy week. I would suggest for older folks like myself, or anyone for that matter a hand rail at the pool steps would be nice, first time in my foot slipped off the step and my back hit the concrete side, no injuries but could of been avoided. After that my daughter’s wouldn’t let me step in without holding a hand. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cd8dc314-6b3d-4131-b01c-989636c78bb3-1750801582215.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3fb0c246-0a1d-471f-bcbc-9084424706e2-1750801618724.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kim P.
