Aug 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family lake house getaway We had a great time at this brand new lake house on Higgins lake. It's in a great location, with beautiful lake views all day long (especially at sunset). The kitchen and dining room are spacious and we'll equipped. The five bedrooms are all very nice and fit our needs perfectly. Having 3 full bathrooms is great. This lake house has wonderful outside spaces also. A very large deck with grill, small private beach, water-side fire ring and a very long dock. We really enjoyed the provided kayaks, paddle boards and outdoor games. Greg is a very understanding host. He answered all of our questions promptly. We would definitely consider returning in the future. ##### Dave D.
