Christmas Vacation
Rented this beautiful lake house for our family Christmas vacation. This house has everything you need and more. Plenty of extra bedding and pillows. We didn't have any kids but I did see play cribs, high chairs, plates and spoons for the little ones. Plenty of parking too! The owners are very nice and responsive! Would stay here again for sure!! Both dogs loved the yard.

Holiday weekend get-together
For our weekend stay this property had everything we needed. Not only was there plenty of parking for our large group, there was plenty of beds and couches for comfortable sleeping. The views from the house were great and the short distance from the lake was ideal. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay
This house was perfect for our group of friends. The owners really thought of everything. Plenty of towels and extra blankets. There was a cute coffee bar that had everything we could need. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of cooking utensils, pots/pans and kitchen towels. We made use of the BBQ pit and there was plenty of seating for everyone. The house did get a little hot at night but we did stay in 100°+ heat. The main refrigerator took a while to cool down and the garbage disposal didn’t work properly but those were not deal breakers for us. We had a great time at the property and would book again. The location was great, the neighborhood was quiet, the views were amazing and the house was cozy and welcoming.

Lots of room and parking!!
We stayed here to attend a family reunion down the street. We had 4 families - 11 people. Everyone had a bed and a place to park their car. Kitchen was well stocked (best I’ve ever seen at a VRBO). Lots of seating in the kitchen. Great air conditioning!!

Want to come back every weekend!
This property is gorgeous. The pictures don’t do it justice. Had a tiny mishap with the door code. But it didn’t matter that it was 9:30 pm, host unlocked through the app within seconds of me messaging and fixed the door code. View is gorgeous. Bathrooms, kitchen, etc were all stocked like none I’ve ever seen. These hosts didn’t miss a single detail. Will definitely be staying here again.
