Five senior women came to relax and enjoy the fall weather and view of the lake. There's not much of a view because of the overgrown trees.The outside looks uncared for. Not particularly welcoming. The house is very dark inside. Lighting needs attention. Hard to find wall switches and many don't work. Bad hall connection near upstairs bedroom. Kitchen is well stocked, and spacious. However, ceiling fan is coated with caked on dust. Certainly hasn't been cleaned in a long time. The house has a moldy or musty smell as though it hasn't been used or occupied in quite some time. One guest was congested by the smell. The back deck railing is in poor repair with rotting wood making it dangerous.There was no notification as to where we could find cushions for the outdoor chairs. We followed the check out rules but there was certainly plenty of old items in the pantry. And there was no trash can outside so we carried it home to be disposed of. When I was there 6 years ago it was a new listing and lovely. The owner needs to do some work to make it inviting to the guests. We had a good time because we were there for a quiet getaway but it would have been nicer if it were fresher and more inviting.

We had a wonderful time and rented both the main house and the cottage and it's a great place to accommodate many "sleepers" Nice to have the basketball net for the teens and the ping pong, etc. Used the floats for the water too! Plenty of supplies in the house so you don't need anything like paper products, etc. Owner is easy to reach and responsive to things you need! Love seeing all the deer feeding on the lawn and the trees too!

This is the ideal place for our annual fall trip. This is our 4th visit, so that says how much we love this place. Plenty of room & amenities especially for cooking a big Thanksgiving meal. The weather, the fall foliage & the view from that deck were spectacular!! We love the additional ice maker & double ovens. We visited the Twisted Oaks for our 1st dinner (great service & food) and really enjoyed Smithville's 3rd Annual Pumpkin Festival on the town square. We met friends in Sparta for shopping and we highly recommend The Coffee Collective for a great caffeine break!! We can't say enough good things about the owner, Ashley. She's a fabulous host and makes our trips the BEST here!!

This house was everything and more than we anticipated. 3 men on motorcycles enjoying the beauty of the area and meeting local residents. This property is very quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed the view from the deck. Hot tub and grill got used also. We are already planning next years trip and hope to be able to return to this property. The inside decor and all of the books, cooking equipment and the stereo truly made this a very enjoyable stay. Also the large garage was great to park the bikes out of the rain
