Family has been going to Friend's Lake for over 40 years, but owner of the place we rented sold it last year. Now there are no rentals on FL that allow outside boats. Tubing and fishing are the priorities for vacation, so we needed to find a new lake.
House is nice but basic, as name says, but it was comfortable, sooo close to the water, and had a personal dock. It worked great for us and we really liked it, but I know there are people that this would not be fancy enough for.
As I said, fishing is a priority. As we had no idea of fishing spots on this lake it was a slow start. But by the end of the week the fishing was OK. Hopefully over the years we will find all the good fishing spots. The other priority, tubing, varied over the week. FL is smaller and private, so sometimes the boat traffic was more than we are used to.
If there was one thing we could change about this property it would be water access. On one side of the dock is a wall, the other side a very steep slope. There are some rocks stacked up like stairs off the base of the dock to make it easier to get in/out of the water, but that did not work for our dog. Our dog won't jump into water and we were hoping that there would be a gradual entrance into the water so she could get in. This could also be an issue for toddlers/young kids.
We liked this place enough that we already reserved our vacation week next year!
