The reservation process was seamless. John responded promptly with an abundance of information about the area, the house, and the extras available such as community pool access (free) and kayaks (small charge - way cheaper than renting from area businesses). He followed up a week and then a day prior to make sure we were on track and to answer any questions.
The house was clean and perfect for our family: two adults, two college aged kids, a teen, and a tween - with sleeping room for three more to spare! Note: bedroom with futon and bunks with trundle is located in the basement. Conveniently, the third full bathroom is located next to this basement bedroom.
The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils/pots and pans, etc. There is a nice charcoal grill on the bottom patio that has a charcoal chimney starter. The screened in porch is
wonderful for meals - morning or night!
The dock is located in water deep enough to dock a boat, jump off of for swimming, and nearby coves are great for kayaking to fish and observe wildlife. We saw numerous turtles, fish, an otter, ducks (we fed off the dock), various birds, crayfish, and deer (right in the yard and while kayaking).
The house is located toward the northern part of the lake just below the bridge () - in a perfect little cove - close enough to the main lake for easy access, but far enough to avoid heavy boating traffic.
We would definitely rent this vacation house again. We loved it and had a wonderful vacation. In fact, our family deemed it our favorite vacation to date. There is so much to do here - boating, jet skiing, kayaking, swimming, fishing, etc., the house felt like home, and we could bring our small doggies! You won't be disappointed renting this place. It's a great vacation home for a reasonable price.
