10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Dec 2025
The house was perfect for our group which included 2 families with grandparents, college students and kids. We really enjoyed the house and the fire pit. We only had one day warm enough for the kids to enjoy the beach, but I am sure it would be even better in the summer!!The communication was excellent!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
Overall just an amazing week. The property is perfectly positioned, and the beach (especially with young kids) was incredible. The house was very comfortable and well laid out, although it is a bit on the older/outdated side. The basement was a bit musty and we ended up not sleeping anyone down there. Regardless, we and an amazing time.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
Beautiful lakefront property on the main lake. We loved the dock and sandy beach to wade right into the cove area; perfect for swimming. Yard has lovely landscaping and perfect fire pit. House is older and a little tired; could use updates.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
This property accommodated our family of 14 well. There was plenty of refrigerator space with two refrigerators, one drink refrigerator and a separate ice machine. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Parking was great for at least 8 cars. The private beach was wonderful for the whole family.
