We enjoyed our time here with our family and friends. Josh was great to work with and quick to respond with answers to questions. The house is located in a great spot on fox lake away from the lake traffic. The shade in the afternoon and the view on the lake was very idyllic way to wind down the day.

Amazing home and location

The property was incredible. The owner thought of every detail and had everything one could need there. The lake was super calm and because we went during the week we had it to ourselves to tube and swim. It truly was perfect and can't wait to come again.
