Excellent place to relax
We were very impressed with everything about the home. The water is right in the back yard to swim and hangout and the home was beautiful and large enough to accommodate my large family and friend group. I definitely recommend this place to others.

First class in every aspect.
I couldn't have imagined how nice this place would be on arrival. The view was breathtaking. The place was like new, very roomy, and was way beyond my expectations. My entire group was blown away by the house and its amenities. On top of it all I asked Carla if there was a deep fryer for frying seafood and there wasn't, so she went out and purchased a first class one for our group to use. What a top-notch operation. I'll give it 5-stars across the board and will be back. Thanks again Carla

Great time with family and friends!
We enjoyed this house so much! The kids and adults all had a blast! The living room and kitchen area was great for a large crowd! The game room was a blast for all the kids. The welcome basket of snacks and the extra touches of items the host left was fantastic! The back porch and view of the lake was spectacular! We look forward to renting this place again!
