Great house & location!

The home was clean, well equipped and its lay out easily accommodated our two families. Property Management was great as well! The dock area is shallow so we docked our tritoon boat at Mitchells Marina, which was conveniently located around the corner from the house at the end of Trading Post road. We enjoyed floating, kayaking, paddleboarding and especially enjoyed the lack of boat traffic on this cove. Would stay again for sure!

Family Summer Vacation 2025

This lake house was perfect as far as rooms, distance and terrian leading to lake, amenities, boat dock, available equipment (paddle boards, kayak's, pool table,)Mains issues centered around condition of deck furniture and grounds management. Deck fuirniture was plentiful but confusing (could not tell which cushions to use where?) Many of this cushions where disqustingly dirty and bird droppins could be found on furniture. Some deck furniture was in poor to unusable condition while still remainng on the deck. (should have been removed from property. The lawn was recently mowed, but heavy grass clippings covered most walk ways. Wood scraps and other debri was sccattered around property giving a feeling of untidiness. We found mops and floor mats left on the deck when we arrived.This property has everything it needs to be excellent if someone would just pay attention to the detail especiallu at this rental price point!

Beautiful House, Difficult Boat Dock

We loved the house! It was perfect for my siblings and our partners. We stayed in the downstairs bedroom and it was so peaceful and quiet (even with 8 people in the house talking and cooking). Our only issue is that the dock was very difficult to navigate with a boat (tricky angle and shallow) We had 2 very experienced boaters on deck (one of my brothers sails for a living) and it still took multiple people to guide it in to avoid hitting anything. Hopefully they can address this issue because we would love to stay here again in the future.

The house is amazing. We had a blast.

We will definitely return. Great spot! The only con is the cove at the dock is shallow so trim up and go slow. Otherwise great place. Thank you for having us!!
