My husband and I had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house! It is RIGHT on Balch Lake and perfect for boating, fishing, and swimming. There was a lovely dock and the perfect outside seating areas for reading and hanging out. The house was great and very clean! Nice upgraded kitchen and living room, and comfortable beds. There was a heat wave during our first week and the central air was heavenly! We were very glad to have that nice amenity. We loved all the little touches around the house like many handy hooks for beach towels and swimsuits, household items we needed to get started like hand soap and paper towels, s’more makings (!!), even sunscreen. Just very thoughtful and useful.We had to work remotely during part of our stay, and to our surprise, the internet speed was faster than what we have at home. It was easy to work from there, which was something we really needed.Highly recommend renting this property. We would return in a heartbeat. Thank you for a terrific escape!
