House was not clean. Toenail clippings on carpet that had not been vacuumed, lotion on bathroom vanity, and cigarette ashes on porch. Oven had so much grease that a small fire ignited when we tried to use it.
The basement is not air conditioned. Uncomfortably warm for those staying down there. This was not mentioned anywhere in the property description.

We had lots of family visit us at this house, there was more than enough room for everyone. The house was spacious, clean & well stocked. The dock was awesome and accommodated our boat, water trampoline and numerous floats & other water toys....the lake was deep enough to play or just relax.... the teenagers said we needed a house like this, lol.... lost power the last night during a horrible storm but still would do it all over again.... thanks to our wonderful host and hope you will have us again.....

Home was in a nice location. The scenery and landscape was beautiful. The house was comfortable and plenty room for 10 guests. My family enjoyed their stay. However, the inside of the house can stand an update and can use more appliances.

Five people were to stay in the house but it only had four bedrooms instead of the listed five. One guest was forced to look for a hotel room after we had arrived. It was extremely difficult to find accommodation in such of short notice.

Awesome fishing trip
We had a great stay and fishing was great.
I do think there should be some sort of lighting on the steps down to the lake as I took a spill on the first night because I couldn't see the steps.
The house is nice and the pool table was fun too.
Hope to be back next year.

Fisherman's dream!
We booked this house for a short fishing trip and we loved it! The house is located near some great fishing spots and has a large dock to tie your boat to. After fishing in the boat during the day we would fish off the dock at night under the dock light and we caught a lot of fish! The house has plenty of room and was clean. Great place to stay!

Fabulous Fall Family Trip
Our family had an amazing time at the lake house. The house is charming. Very spacious with a wonderful cozy feeling. We were 5 adults and two children and there was plenty of room.
The rooms are big and lots of bathrooms throughout the house. The property is very large with beautiful trees and huge rocks. We enjoyed walking and exploring the property every morning with our grandchildren and sitting out at the lake in the afternoon. In the evening we enjoyed smores by the fire. The reservation process was easy and the owner available to reach. It was an overall memorable experience and we hope to be able to return again soon. Many thanks for making this home available for others to enjoy!

The home is dated, but generally clean and in good shape. The view, location, and surrounding boulders are great. We were looking for somewhere within driving distance of our home in Central Florida to experience fall weather over the Thanksgiving Weekend and the home worked great. Now we have visions of coming back in the summer.

I can't tell you how cool the boulders are at this house. It's a little Stone Mountain all around. The lake dock and yard are very nice to hang outdoors. The house was great with plenty of living space and bedrooms on different floors and an entertainment basement. The porch is nice too. Yes, we will come here again!

The Property was nice and clean. A little dated compared to other newer properties, but nothing that would distract from a lake house.
For those that have complained about no window treatments in the past, there are blinds on the Master Bedroom windows and doors. And the grill has recently been replaced with a large charcoal grill capable of 16 burgers and 15 bratwurst at one time.
The location in the lake cove is great, about 10ft deep at the end of the dock. Like your own personal swimming pool. The boat lift was perfect for the 20' boat that we brought along. Communication with Tony was great. Would consider staying again.

Wonderful vacation home
We loved this home and hope to rent again next year. We enjoyed kayaking. We did miss the cover on the dock. They must be planning to replace soon. There were no extra refrigerator or freezer in the garage as pictured. We had counted on this storage space bit were able to make it work. Everything thing else was absolutely wonderful.

We had a great vacation. Eight of us from ages 6-77. The house was spacious with room to spread out. We spent the majority of the week either on the boat dock/in the lake or on the huge porch overlooking the lake. We did rent a pontoon boat for a day, and jet skis for 4 hours; this added to the water fun. The host was responsive before and during our stay. Thank you.

Great Vacation!
This is an excellent spot for boating and jet skiing. The location is great and the property has plenty of room. Dock is very convenient, just be careful large rock just 3 or 4 feet below surface just beyond dock, NO diving. There is plenty of room for storage of boat trailers and parking, but not really a way to turn one around easily in long wooded driveway. It is a beautiful and serene setting and was a very relaxing place to stay. Everyone loved the large porch and ring game became a week long competition.
