Lived at the dock. Pulled a couple bass and pikes along with a bunch of sunnies. Kids had a blast on lake Johanna. The house is appropriate and as shown on the pictures. William took care of us, he’s a very responsive host. We would stay here again.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2023
We had a good trip. The interior was quite clean. The surrounding yard and plants could've used some TLC to gain a greater view of the lake and to enable our small children to use the yard space.
