"We had a great time. It’s conveniently located right on the highway. All the activities we chose to do were easily accessible. The property owner (Mary) lives on the 3rd floor and she was very helpful and attentive. It was nice to have her available, and we’re happy to have met her. It is a large plot of land for children to play. Outdoor games are included with the rental (yard yatze, yard jenga, corn hole, tether ball, etc.). The mown part of the yard was plenty big for us.The inside was nice and clean. Very spacious for a family of 9. Indoor games are included (like monopoly). There is one TV in the living room (I initially thought that would be hard for me because I have a TV in my room at home, but it was a nice break to be able to lay in bed and read). Travel sizes of soap, toothpaste, lotion, shampoo are included in each bathroom - there were even complementary toothbrushes if we forgot ours. Dishes and lots of food staples are available. Suggestions: 1. The property is several acres. Having a mown path around some of it would give guests a path to take walks. 2. Upstairs hall lights are always on for safety reasons. It would be nice to be able to dim them because light leaks in around the edges of the bedroom doors. 3. To drown out noise from the highway, perhaps install some noise muffling curtains in the bedrooms (we used a white noise app, and it worked out perfectly, so not a big deal). We were very happy with the property and would stay again!"

"Friendly and helpful staff!"

"Our family enjoyed the water activities: Paddle Boards, Kayaks, Fishing, Swimming, Tubing behind our boat, Evening cruise around the lake in our boat. House was very clean, kitchen was well equipped, our entire family of 13 could socialize on the large deck. Hope to come back in the future."

"They are definitely working on renovations (re-doing the pool area). It was fine since we were only there to sleep."

"We were new to visiting the area and were happy with our choice. The lake is a little smaller than some in the area, but was perfect for some floating and relaxing. It was so nice to be able to use the dock to leave the boat in for the weekend. Everyone in the group said the beds were all very comfortable as were the pillows. It had everything we needed with nice amenities, including the kayak and extra lifejackets if needed. This place would be perfect for a bigger family since it had 2 kitchens and 2 living rooms. Host was great to communicate with and property was as described. If we were in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to rebook this location. "

"Great breakfast, room was very clean, and shower was great."

"Nice staff "

"We came up with my extended family (14 of us) to celebrate my parents’ 50th anniversary. The home was STUNNING and there was plenty of room to sleep, eat (indoor dining table and outdoor patio tables seat 16), and hang out. There are coffee makers everywhere too, which my family loved. We quite enjoyed taking out the paddle boat, kayaks, and paddle boards (plenty of life jackets too). The water is shallow for quite a ways out which made swimming easy … and our hosts also graciously provided us a sand bag to anchor their lily pad down about 100m out so the kids could play on it. Anything we needed showed up at the front door in minutes. We roasted s’mores at the huge fire pit and the kids played a lot of spike ball. Outside of the VRBO, we enjoyed great dinners at Lure and Pike & Pint, played Best Ball golf at the Lake Miltona golf club, and rented a pontoon for a day from Lake Darling (connected to a few other lakes). Lots to do! We will DEFINITELY rent from Mark and his fiancée again! "

"It's a nice property in a quite and peaceful setting. We had two adult couples, and found that there was room for all of us. The folding table leafs in the family room and kitchen were a nice addition for utilizing space. Since we were meeting friends at another lake property while in town, we didn't take advantage of the lake front features."
