May 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect getaway We had a wonderful time at this spacious home with a beautiful lawn, gorgeous water views, and easy access to the lake. My teenagers loved having the basement bedroom and family room to themselves, and the rest of us enjoyed the lovely deck, the rooms with water views, and the big family spaces to spread out. It was too cold to swim, but we fished and hung out by the water, explored the close by parks for beautiful waterfall hikes and mini-golf. Altogether a wonderful home and great area for a last minute spring break excursion. ##### Molly S.

Plenty of room to spread out and also come together for family meals! We loved the access to board games. The WiFi worked great! The view from the back deck was priceless and the short walk to the dock was nice! We hope to come back to this house when it’s a little warmer to make use of the beautiful lake! ##### Morgan H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristin K. Jul 4, 2024 #### Great for Families We had a great time with our family here! The kids spent lots of time down at the lake swimming off the dock. Theres a great area down by the docks with picnic tables and a gazebo as well. We also spent lots of time on the boat we rented and kept in the dock slip. We enjoyed some beautiful sunsets both from the dock and from the deck of the house! The house was very spacious with lots of room for all 8 of us and had everything we needed. We spent time in the hot tub, having fires in the backyard and on the rainy day we had, we played some of the board games that were there. We will definitely be back! ##### Kristin K. ### 6/10 Okay #### Brian W. Jan 2, 2025 Liked: Location ##### Brian W. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ashley M.
