This property worked perfectly for our girls weekend away! Lots of space so we never felt on top of each other. Those who stayed up later made use of the lower level and ping pong table while the rest of us slept soundly. Beautiful views! Wish we had more time to stay, we were unable to squeeze in time for the fire pit.

Lovely, spacious home with a with a large deck & a beautiful lake view. We also very much enjoyed our evening campfires in the fire pit area across the road, especially with all of the free firewood included. Great place for a large group. We would definitely recommend this home.

The view from the deck, access to the lake, and pool table were highlights of this property. The home was spacious, with plenty of sitting areas for entertaining, though the queen and twin bedrooms were quite cramped with low ceilings. The loft bed was a nice addition, and is placed in a tree-covered area of the house, so the person sleeping there didn't find that it got too light early in the morning. There were a few minor disappointments - we found glass on the deck, which was concerning, and the cushions for the deck furniture had been stored inside, but they were wet and a bit dirty when we went to put them outside.Overall the home was a relatively comfortable rental for two nights and was a good home base for our family gathering.

My husband and I are older adults. We did not realize the length of the stairs to access the dock/lake. Both of us had enough knee pain that we didn't go down to the water the last day. Better connections between owner and vrbo should have included info about the BBQ grill. We asked and were told it was a charcoal grill, so we bought and brought charcoal and starter. Our youngest grandchild is 6 mo old. The amount of space to put up a portacrib was so limited, her dad slept in the open bed. Lovely lake!!! Nice dock and great toys!
