House was perfect size and in a perfect location just minutes from the marina where we rented a pontoon boat. Loved the house’s private boat dock area with swings and seating and the private beach on this property. The house’s boat dock was a great place to watch the sunset and see all the stars come out. House had paddle boards and kayaks too. Really lovely to sit on the big screened in porch overlooking the water!

The house was comfortable overall but the bedrooms are very small and 1 very outdated bathroom for 4 adults was not comfortable. We knew about the downstairs bathroom but that became seriously annoying to have to go outside to access. There is no tub to bathe children. A full size mirror somewhere would have been useful. The back porch is wonderful. The owner is generous with offering use of household items and water toys. The sandy beach was nice for accessing the water, which got deep very quickly so great location for boating and swimming. We appreciated being able to bring our dog but didn't learn till we arrived that a neighbor's cat wanders the property all day, particularly the dock area. The cat is very friendly and our dog is not bothered by cats but others might be so it should be noted in the listing. The cat made itself comfy on chairs and towels left out, leaving cat hair to shake out so that would be a problem for anyone allergic. Additionally, the neighborhood is full of dogs, who bark a lot. One large dog swam in from another house to approach our dog and the toddler. He seemed friendly enough but it was a little unnerving to face a strange dog that way, with no owner in site. The dock has lots of seating but is mostly sunny so an umbrella would have been useful. Shoes are a must..the entire dock is in need of repair. Raised, uneven, splintered boards were a problem every step. Overall, we had a very nice week and thank the owner for sharing his home.

We had an amazing time at this lake property. House was very clean, lawn was clean, beach and dock were clean. The little beach was great for our 2 and 3 year old to play on. The shallow water entry was very helpful for little kids not experienced with swimming/deep water. We would definitely stay at this place again!
