Perfect house for our family vacation! Great house in a great spot on the lake. The house was very clean and well appointed. The shaded seating area on the dock was amazing during our very hot week! We enjoyed every minute of our stay!

This is a wonderful place to stay. Our group ages ranged from 3-87 years old and everyone had plenty of space. Great location in a quiet cove off main lake. Owner Keith was quick to respond to any questions and even got in touch with us to make sure check-in had gone smoothly. Everyone enjoyed the week and are ready to come back again next year. House was well furnished too-can’t say enough positive things about this house. Thanks for sharing your beautiful house with us
