Summary: We had a wonderful time. Our stay was very relaxing. We enjoyed the sandy beachfront access, the ample patio space, and fenced yard for our grandson and grand-pup. The firework show was spectacular too. The place was very clean and well equipped for guests of all ages. It's in a very quiet neighborhood as well. If we plan to revisit the area this is where we will stay again.

Summary: We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful vacation home. Everything was exactly the same as the pictures. The property was so beautiful and peaceful we spent our whole trip hanging out on the patio or down on the private beach. Our dogs also had a the best time there were even blankets and bowls just for them. The fenced in yard was secure enough for even a tiny poodle mix. The house was well stocked with anything you may have forgotten and the beds were super comfortable.

Summary: Very cute property right on the lake. Everything was great. Kayaks available. Water was clear. Fishing was fun! The listing shows 2 bathrooms, which was a little misconceiving. There is one bathroom plus an outside shower. I may have simply misread the listing, but want others to be aware.

Summary: While there are the number of beds as stated, the third "bedroom" is completely open to the rest of the house, making it very difficult when a larger group is there due to the noise that carries from the basement/kitchen area. Technically the property sleeps 8, but that would be very very tight, especially with only one bathroom. There is no dishwasher, and the instructions for checkout state that dishes are to be loaded into the dishwasher. The sliding screen door is difficult to open and the fire alarm goes off when there is no smoke in the kitchen. There is no ice maker, so bring your own!

Summary: When we arrived we were so excited to spend the weekend in the cabin. The outdoor patio provides stunning views of the lake and every small detail is thought of, from cushions to moon rocks, to firewood, the host knocked it out of the park. In addition, everything inside was thought of for our pet, our children, and even toiletries. We loved the am wake ups to the glassy lake and we decided to do nothing because the house was so cozy and accommodating. Lastly, the fence for the dog to run freely was a big win for this anxious mom. Exactly what the doctor ordered and I would go back again!
