We had such an incredible stay at this lakefront home! From the moment we arrived, everything felt clean, bright, updated, and welcoming. The home has been beautifully refreshed with modern upgrades, stylish decor, and a fully updated kitchen with great appliances that made cooking and gathering easy and enjoyable.The outdoor setup truly made this place special. We spent our days kayaking, floating on the lilypad, swimming from the beach area, fishing off the private dock, and relaxing in the hammock with lake views. At night, the sunsets were absolutely stunning and the firepit area was the perfect place to unwind.The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, yet there was so much to do right at the property. It felt like the perfect balance of a relaxing retreat and a fun getaway. We made so many great memories here and would definitely book again!

Cute and cozy home was clean and comfortable. Lots of shade, the kids had a blast and the water was shallow enough that we didn't have to constantly keep worrying about the littles going too far and not being able to reach. Overal a great experience.

This was a great place to stay and celebrate my birthday with my family. We also had family friends with us and our two dogs and it was perfect. The home was good size and we spent a ton of time out on the back porch and in the back yard. The views are incredible and this home is so relaxing. A great getaway. We loved to oversized connect 4 game- we played this for hours! The hammocks and firepit were great. Everything was fully stocked and clean. Am planning on staying here again!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, communication, location

Spacious and fun to navigate. There are some lovely renovated elements, but other key areas need improvement for a rental meant to sleep 10.Great kitchen appliances but missing some essentials if planning to cook. Not enough plates, bowls, cutlery, cups for a group of 10. Possibly an oversight, but only one dishwashing pod provided and a hand soap shortage. Not sure of the fridge water/ice situation due to expired filter, so recommend bringing your own. The host sent over a few extra beach towels when we found only one. The beds and kitchen were clean, but being an outdoorsy rental, there were some minor bug issues.The AC works great but cools the rooms a bit unevenly. The backyard and firepit are nice! My kids enjoyed the kayaks and hammock. The firepit is great roasting! We recommend moving the grill back up onto the deck near tables and seating, as shown in listing (currently under deck). We came with food for grilling, but it needed more cleaning than we wanted to take on. I believe there were two trash bins, but they were overflowing.Two major issues:1) Access to the sandy beachfront. There is a stack of cinder blocks and landscaping stones you’ll need to navigate. The listing should state there is not safe access to the water.2) A Peloton bike. Our son had a serious accident on it, and the host graciously allowed us to shorten our stay and partially reimbursed the reservation. There needs to be a safety warning in the listing and on the Peloton for children.
