10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
Overall, it was a good week. There was plenty of kitchen supplies, the pool was wonderful - cleaner than a year ago and the temp was perfect. We called during the week regarding an issue and it was taken care of immediately. The host responds quickly and courteously to all questions and concerns. The home was clean, comfortable and supplied many amenities. There is some concern about the safety of the dock over the boat. Boards are missing. It feels very spongy and unstable. It might be nice to consider having blinds on the windows for privacy especially with the new house next door and the houses across the lake. This was our second week long visit to the home and we are considering going back again next year. It was a great place to meet and enjoy family.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
Carpet stains , yes, host said hair dye for one - but tired. Pool cover is rotting & underneath is filthy. Am surprised the pool is so beautifully clean. House is for sale … neighbors built next door….too close.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
Super clean spacious totally stocked home, awesome pool, and fun fishing on the private dock. Would have given more than 5 stars if I could.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
Home is in need of serious TLC. It is for sale and we had an uninvited prospect “stop by” to view the outside of the home. BBQ grill was not operable and microwave only worked when the door was held closed. Great location on a channel but boat dock definitely needs updating. Pool was a definite plus. Overall an average experience.
