This property was perfect for our extended family vacation, and the host is very responsive. We had a lot of rain during the week, but the game and theater rooms kept everyone happy. The lake is just beautiful. Renting the boat, tubing, along with the kayaks we brought, made exploring the area exceptional. We are looking forward to coming back!I do want to echo what others have said however, about the amount of stairs and how slippery they become when wet. Those with any limits on mobility may want to consider this.

6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
Overall the house is nice, we could not use the hot tub as it was dirty and when we turned it on, it was filled with a lot of foam and chlorine smell was unbearable. The key box is difficult to open. Taking out trash required us to drive 30 minutes one way!!! Otherwise they threatened to charge us for each trash bag. There are over 100 steep stairs to the lake, keep it in mind.
