Had a great stay!! The house was beautiful and was perfect for 15 gifts. We enjoyed the pool, as well as all of the indoor games, and we were able to dock our boat at the house too. Would love to stay here again!
We had a great stay!!! The house was clean, pool was awesome, the cove was great for kayaking & paddle boarding, views were perfect, beds cozy, and tons of space for everyone in our large group.
It was a great time and stay. The only issue we had was we could never get the hot tub jets on and they kept saying the water just circulates but it’s a hot tub and the jets turned on at one point but they apparently couldn’t turn them back on, so would have been nice to use the hot tub to its full capacity.
Our stay was perfection and everyone loved the house! It was clean and the beds were so comfortable. It took us some time to figure out how to turn the pool/spa on but we messaged the hosts on the vrbo app and they responded right away and answered all of our questions!! The neighborhood is super nice, but definitely on the quieter side. The lake was peaceful and paddle boards/kayaks were so nice to have. Overall, would 100% stay here again!!
