This lake house is beautiful! We rented this home for a long weekend, so our family had a place to stay together for our daughter's wedding. There were adults and children with more than enough room to accommodate everyone. The game room was enjoyed and it's the first time I've stayed in a rental property with 2 washers and dryers! We didn't need to bring anything but food and our personal items as all else was already there! I've never rented a home so complete with amenities in such a gorgeous setting. Our hosts were absolutely wonderful; answered all my questions in a timely manner and were fabulous to deal with. I would definitely rent this home again and will certainly recommend it to all our friends and family!

Nice place needs some care

This was a lovely house in the woods near a lake. It is big and spacious with lots of kitchen and dining space. Its a great place for families with small kids as there are toys and books. That being said, it isn't quite what you expect. The photos give the impression you have lake access, but the lake is drawn down for repairs so there is no access and the view to the lake is quite overgrown. The upstairs bath has a tub/shower that is not working. The deck and chairs could use a good power wash. If you like sleeping on soft mattresses then you will be happy here, my preference is for something with a little more support and nicer pillows. Not bad, just not as good as Springhill Suites or Residence Inn.
