It was a quick adult getaway and the lakeside escape was perfect! The house was clean and well stocked. We made use of the French press for coffee and appreciated the snacks and water the host left. We enjoyed a quiet kayak around the whole lake and the hot tub. We hope to come back for another visit with our family.

We enjoyed our stay. Loved the lakeside escape the house and amenities were great. Kid toys, fun lake items, etc were a bonus to keep kids entertained. We enjoyed walks through the neighborhood. Only downside was it is close to a highly traveled road so time on the deck or in the lake wasn’t as serene as we’d hoped it would be.

Our hosts were friendly. We rented their pontoon boat and enjoyed the lake. Our grandsons used the two kayaks to fish and caught more than they could count. There were three full bathrooms, one for each family. The beds were comfortable and clean. The hosts just renovated the main floor and it was beautiful. The kitchen was spacious which was a plus considering that we had three families cooking at the same time. Everyone said they had a fun time!
