Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Mark Island. The home is clean, well-furnished, and views of the lake from all directions while in the house were absolutely amazing. The kids loved fishing and swimming from the dock. The kitchen was well-equipped and had everything you would ever need. The host was responsive, kind, and very helpful. We didn't want to leave! Perfect Lake Winni vacation!

Fantastic property,private and all the amenities ,sunset is spectacular,but you need a boat because it is on an island,for our family it was a non issue.

Amazing stay and location! Really felt so comfortable and relaxed and the cove and spot is all time! Kids had a blast with the fishing and animals and frogs in the cove….we all loved it and John and Erin were very responsive. Def would love to do it again.

We loved our time here. The pictures don't do it justice. The house is even nicer in person than it appears. The island is easy to get to (assuming you have a boat). The views were unbelievable. We had drinks by the platform watching sunset every night. Our young kids could run around and play without any concerns for their safety. The cove is very protected and was a lot of fun to relax and swim off of the dock. The house was well supplied. And the hosts were fantastic. Day or night, they were available and gave us a ton of suggestions on places to visit and things to do. We had a vacation that helped us create memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. We'll definitely be back again. The only heads up that I will give (which is no fault of the hosts) is that the lake can be a little difficult to navigate if its your first time. This was my first time on the lake and I was a little nervous trying to find my way around. By the end of the week, I got the hang of it, but it took a full week before I got comfortable so make sure that you are confident in your boat driving and navigation skills.
