The house is at a great location. Our only issue was the air conditioning upstairs didn’t get below 74 degrees at night and up in the high seventies during the day
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
We really enjoyed our stay overall. The home has a charming rustic feel, and the beds were very comfortable, which made for a relaxing visit. The kitchen was well-stocked and made cooking easy, and the view of the lake was absolutely beautiful, definitely a highlight of the property.The only area that needs improvement is the issue with spiders and spiderwebs. We encountered webs throughout the exterior of the home, inside in some areas, and covering the path to the dock—we had to clear them ourselves to access it. There were also quite a few spiders in the garage, and we ended up purchasing spray so we could comfortably use the paddle boards, life jackets, and other items.We completely understand that this is a lake house and bugs are part of the environment; however, it seemed like there wasn’t regular upkeep to help manage the issue. A more consistent pest control routine (such as monthly extermination) would make a big difference for future guests.That said, we had a great time and would still recommend the property, especially for the views and comfort.
8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
On arrival, house was so totally dark, no motion lights, no outdoor lights, no number on mailbox or house that was visible. It was an extremely difficult driveway to manage with no lights. When we finally got down the driveway we used cell phone flashlights to find the door. The house was clean but exceptionally overdecorated with stuff. There was no toaster so we bought one, no can opener, so we bought one. Rooms very spacious but lighting was extremely low throughout.The best things about the property was the dock and the tvs. Beds were acceptable. Windows needed a good washing. Bathroom door upstairs was hard to get open once you were inside. Upstairs tub drain not working. We had to hold the plunger up for water to drain after bath/shower. Many of these things seem small but once you put them all together, it was pretty annoying and not a place we would return to. Our family does not expect perfection but this was a bit much. The house has potential but needs some serious TLC at this point.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2026
Very nice location, and layout of the house. The house was very well constructed, the yard was large, and the lake view was great. Plenty of water toys and a very nice pier. We were disappointed in the level of cooling from the air conditioning system. Although it was very hot outside during our stay, it was not acceptable that the temperature inside the house was in the low 80s during the day, and only got down into the mid 70s during the night. Additionally, when we arrived the house smelled very musty, there were spider webs, all around the exterior of the house, and throughout the attached garage. There were cobwebs inside the house. If there had been a regular vacuum (with a hose attachment) available, instead of a battery operated swiffer vacuum, we could have cleaned the areas ourselves. It not appear that anyone had vacuumed under some of the furniture. Finally, this house was advertised as having 3 queen beds. Only one of those beds was a true queen, and one was significantly smaller. Although not the owners' fault, it appeared that someone's dog had been using the beach area and the back yard as restroom.
