10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
The check-in was seamless - we arrived a little early but happily enjoyed the lake views and flowers that were blooming. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed and more; kitchen, bathrooms, games and puzzles! Big Sandy is a beautiful and clean lake, the beach was all sand. The weather did not cooperate with us but because of the space, amenities and covered porches we had a great family vacation!! Also, the sunsets were amazing!!!
