"This place is a hidden gem. The staff goes above and beyond. The little extras they do to make your stay feel at home is amazing. The inside is absolutely gorgeous and the view is breath taking. We forgot a speaker that we had hidden from our adult children during quiet time and the staff called almost immediately after we left. Brendon (I hope I am spelling it correctly) was fantastic from start to finish. You can tell he actually cares about the place and their Visitors. Cheers! We will be back!! Tennille and Kevin"

"This property was beautiful. The direct lake access was perfect and it was a beautiful view. Easily the nicest place I have ever stayed in. It was also very clean! I felt very comfortable. The host was very communicative, answering every question we had. Lake front properties can be very expensive but I felt this property was a steal for how many people it accommodated while also having the direct lake view and access. I highly highly recommend this property."
