"We all loved the house! Lots of room for adults and kids. They loved the air hockey, hammock, kayaks and the hot tub. The house was in a very convenient location for the lake. We will definitely return next year!!"

"A few families shared the space while in the area for a baseball tournament. It was the perfect place to unwind after a busy baseball schedule. The boys especially enjoyed the hot tub, indoor games, and being able to fish. Perfect for our needs, in every way."

★★★★★

"The house and guest house were exactly what we needed. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved that there was lake access just behind the property and the ability to use kayaks and life jackets."
