What Our Guests say 500 + Reviews

Nov 30, 2025 08:06:32 PM
Summary: The property was spectacular. On the inside there was something for each of us, the bedrooms and bathrooms were great, the suite setup upstairs was amazing. The kitchen was well stocked. There was 16 of us, ranging from 6 to 76 yrs old, including 5 teenagers. The outside was breathtaking and so much space for everyone to spread out. We were lucky it was sunny most days so we were able to go outside and enjoy the deck and the hot tub, the little beach by the lake was enough to dip our feet in the cool lake. We had a plumbing issue on Thanksgiving night at 6pm, and they sent a plumber to fix it and that was pretty amazing. The house is in a quite neighborhood so we were able to go for a walk each day. And the movie theatre room - that was great with a weekend full with football and college basketball. The only comment we have is that some of the pots and pans were not induction stove so it took a little longer to cook things on the stove. But on the flipside, the double ovens preparing for Thanksgiving meal were amazing. Overall, exceptional property and amazing service - great holiday in a great home! Thank you

Summary: This was the most well equipped rental property we have ever stayed in! EVERYTHING we needed was on site. No detail left undone! Beyond impressed with the beautiful home and all of its amenities. Communication with the rental company was helpful and informative. The design of this house certainly had family in mind and it was very helpful to have the baby items for the 16 month old that traveled with us. The paddle board and kayaks got a lot of use and we also rented a boat. Loved this house and its location!
