We visited the property on Labor Day weekend hoping to enjoy a weekend of water-based activities from the dock. We were very surprised to find the water around the dock was completely dried up. We had brought water toys and fishing gear and before arrival had inquired with rental company about renting a boat to dock in the slip. Thank goodness there were no boats available for rental that weekend because we would have had nowhere to put a boat.
Fortunately on our last day some kind neighbors saw our kids wading around in mud on the side of the dock and offered to let us swim off their dock, which we did.
Being a careful trip planner, I was surprised that I had missed that this property was on such a shallow part of the lake when I booked. I went back and read the reviews and description of the property. The only mention of the fact that this property is on a dried up cove was near the bottom listing of amenities where it said "dock (available May to August)." This could mean many things, not necessarily that there is no water in this part of the lake the rest of the year.
After our trip I wrote an email to the management company about our experience and received no response.
I do see that now they have added mention of the slip being available only May to August in the main description, and another reviewer who stayed there after us mentioned the dried up property.
A full, transparent explanation from the property owner that this home is on a cove that only has water in it from May to August is needed.
I typically do not write reviews but wanted to spare others from disappointment based on an inaccurate description.
The home itself was lovely and would be great when this part of the lake has water in it. I'm still not clear when that would be, as we do not live in the area. Neighboring properties appeared to be on deep water, as we saw them using their boats and swimming.
Please see our photos of the dock from our trip.
