Wonderful lakeside retreat. Nice location in state park. Responsive property manager helped with any issues. Great space for our family gathering.
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
Enjoyed our stay. Beautiful house. Could use a good cleaning especially the exterior windows. Many spider webs on the windows and spiders. Master shower was very slow to drain. You were standing in a deep puddle by the time you were done. Would rent again.

The lake views are amazing and the property is immaculate. Would recommend to anyone looking for a large group getaway.
