Summary: We had a good time on our vacation. The no wake lake was nice for fishing and swimming. The floating raft/slide was a big hit. Nice that we had access to the kayaks, paddle boat and pontoon. Kitchen was pretty stocked.

Summary: Our family had a great time at this property! The kids ..and us!... thoroughly enjoyed all the water equipment they provided! From paddle boating to kayaking to paddle boarding! Fishing was good too. My wife caught a few 15"+ bass and we caught a lot of good size blue fill and sunfish. The house is very spacious and clean. I'd also like to say that Kendra's communication was on point. Very responsive.

Summary: The lake house met all our expectations. Plenty of room for our family of five adults and three children. Home was very clean,beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The kids had a great time using the kayaks and paddleboats and even caught a few fish. The house was close to several winery's that we visited as well as restaurants. Kendra was an excellent host and easy to contact. Looking forward to staying hear again next year.

Summary: The house was super cute & as described. We enjoyed the peace & quiet of the mornings with our coffee on the deck. Spent our afternoons soaking up the sun on the lake in the paddle boat. And evenings by the fire on the private beach area. Great little cottage if you’re looking to escape the hustle of every day life & just relax.

Summary: This is a very lovely cottage on a quiet lake. We really enjoyed our time but we did feel the mattresses and pillows need some upgrading. We flew in from out of state so it would have been helpful to have beach towels available. The hosts were very responsive and we had a good time but I hope these suggestions are helpful.

We would love to go back since no one really wanted to leave…what better compliment is there?!
