Wonderful location and property!
We were attending a wedding in the area so we’re looking for a VRBO for us and several family members to stay. This is a gem of a place for families to enjoy- inside and out! We loved sitting on the back patio watching the sunset, as well as hanging out on the large sectional in the living room enjoying the view. Would be great for a longer stay- I just wish we had more than a weekend wedding planned. Joe and Nancy are great hosts.

Gorgeous View!
The home was clean, updated, beautiful & had a heck of a view! Each room had plenty of space to spread out for a couple, as well as a ‘kids bunk room’ option if you bring the children. I think I counted 4 bunk beds?! The town of Elysian is 5 min down the road and a great watering hole, bowling alley & more!

Great spot for family gathering
Beautiful lake place, lot of rooms, comfortable beds, very clean, great spot with bunks and crib for kids, nice sandy beach and dock, nice firepit area, great large kitchen with everything we needed, and lots of area to sit in big groups. Owner was out of town but very easy to get in touch with and very helpful figuring out a few very minor issues. Lots of parking space across just across the road. Overall it worked great for us, we had a fantastic time, and hope to visit again.

Great family home
This home is well set up for families- with toys and games for kids onsite. We enjoyed meeting the owners and staying in their family vacation home. Would recommend for families seeking a quiet lakefront place.

Disappointed
We were disappointed in the condition of the lake house and the beach area. The price of the stay was much too expensive for the quality of cleanliness of the house and grounds. Joe waited until we were ready to leave and had someone vacuum the side of the house for spider webs!!! The day before we left while we were on the beach he mowed the area, cleaned the seaweed from the beach and sent someone to spray for bugs. It would have nice if that had been taken care of before we spent the week there. The fan used in the bunk room was filthy and should have been taken to the dump. There was a hole in the front screen door and dead lake flies were everywhere around the door. The fire pit was full of grass where sand should have been, the bricks on the steps were loose, the chairs on the beach were cracked, the ceiling fans were filthy, the grill was pathetic and could easily have caught on fire, the smoke detectors weren’t working, and there were spider webs and dead flies behind the tv, there was leftover food crumbs on the couch, the bikes that were supposed to be part of the package were a mile away at Scoops. Joe intruded on our family time by coming out so often to visit with us while we were fishing. We were very disappointed in our stay.
