Summary: Had a wonderful stay at this extremely quiet and serene modern lake home. The home was laid out well so that you could gather together or have quiet time alone. The kitchen was well furnished with any appliance or utensil you would need. I appreciated how well things were labeled and the written instructions for the tv. Saw lots of birds and other wildlife. I would heartily recommend this place and I would certainly come back.

Summary: Exceptional newer home in a quiet, scenic setting with lots of birds and wildlife. The home was laid out well well to either accomodate if you wanted to be together or have private time. I appreciated the written directions in the house that explained how things worked. I would heartily recommend this place and I would definately go back.

Summary: The house was amazing. The house had plenty of space for everyone to hang out together and also have space to do their own thing. The owners were very responsive and helpful. I definitely recommend this house.

Summary: The open floor plan & decor are aesthetically pleasing but overall it lacked cleanliness. Food particles/crumbs in drawers, laundry soap leaking in the cabinet, smears on appliances, dirty coffee maker, dog hair/previous guest hair all over the master bthrm floor, & multiple beds had dog hair & dark hair all over the place....pillows, throw pillows, duvet cover, & in between the sheets. The amount of cleaning I had to during my stay just to feel comfortable was ridiculous. When I reached out to the guest contact there was no apology, only advised me on where I could find other blankets & sheets. The blankets in the basement corner basket were also covered in dog hair. I spent alot of time washing linens instead of spending time w: my family.My daughter's brand new white Nike socks were black after walking around the house for a couple of hours, which should not have occurred if the floors were actually cleaned. I felt like my issues were dismissed especially since there was no apology, just an "oh dear" & when I shared a photo of the socks, there was no reply.Overall, the cleaning I had to do because their cleaners didn't do their job coupled w/ the uneasiness/unrest, & stress this caused an apology & a discount should've been given.

Summary: We rented this property for our friends Xmas getaway we do every year with 4 couples. I have rented many VRBO properties but none have been as perfect as this property. The kitchen was stocked with every pan and utensil you would need but also had foil, plastic wrap, baggies and most spices. The beds were all very soft and comfortable, each TV came with instructions of how to use and the lower level had a large seating area and TV to watch football. The communication prior to and after the stay was great, I would easily rent from them again. A summer stay would be amazing on this lake.

Summary: We had a wonderful time and look forward to coming back. The house was very clean and it was staged perfectly. It looked as though no one lived in yet it had all the amenities needed. They provided white fluffy towels for showering and nice bedding in all areas. The Lake was great also. Lots of fish, but more importantly, a great sand bar to settle in and let the kids play. The owner was very welcoming and kind. We would definitely come back. We got our moneys worth!

Summary: I hosted a bachelorette party for my best friend with a total of 10 people. This house had more than enough space for everyone to stay and everyone to gather on both levels and outside! We rented a boat from Toontastic all weekend and really enjoyed ourselves! The house is a quick drive from Carlos creek winery and 20 minutes from Alexandria. In a quiet neighborhood on a dead end road so rarely we heard cars drive by! The bay we were in was quiet also. Will be recommending this house to friends and family!

Summary: The property is lovely and just as described in the listing. The check-in/check-out process was simple and the owners were responsive to questions and requests. The kitchen was well stocked with all the tools and appliances necessary to cook meals. There were plenty of sheets and towels too. The basement bedrooms got quite chilly so blankets were needed in that level. Our family enjoyed the laid-back vibe of this unit. We were far enough away from town to feel a bit secluded, yet close enough to town to grab a pizza, pick up some groceries or do a bit of shopping. The kayaks and canoe were greatly appreciated. We didn't have the best of luck with the paddle boat, but maybe we just didn't know how to operate it properly. The fishing off the dock was superb. The grands were entertained there for hours. Thanks so much for dropping off the extra life jackets. With 6 adults in the house, we definitely needed those larger size jackets. Lastly, we spent lots of time on the back porch visiting, playing games, and enjoying the view. It might have been our favorite spots of the home. The only suggestions I have are minor ones. We could have used another couple of boxes of tissues and extra paper towels during our stay. Perhaps those items were available, but I just didn't locate them. Travelers should know there is no "beach area" for swimming at this property. That was not essential for our trip, but worth noting if your family likes to swim daily.
