Property was everything it was advertised as, and even more. Perfect location and very quiet. Host was extremely helpful, and we plan on coming back many times. It is perfect for adults with small kids or adults only.

Relaxing property in a great location.

This property was clean and provided all the amenities needed. Also, the property was situated in a great location, close to a variety of public boat ramps and in a wind-protected cove. The boat house made it convenient to dock the boat and break for lunch.

Relax getaway

My husband and myself need some alone relax time and this place did the trick. It was a nice, cozy, warm place right on the lake. We would definitely stay thee again. Close enough to towns if we wanted to get out, or need anything. Next Time we may bring our children..

Brief getaway

House is nicely decorated and especially clean. Well stocked, comfortable and great access and view of lake. Quiet neighborhood. Host very nice. Older home with nice updates. Ideal location for boat owner to stay but we only fished (unsuccessfully) briefly from nice boat dock.
