We were in town for my nephew’s wrestling tournament. While we didn’t get to hang out at the house much, the beds were comfortable and the hot tub was great for relaxing after a long day. We hope to come back when the weather is nicer to enjoy the lake.

Wonderful house on lake
My family came to town for my sons wedding. This house was the most wonderful place. We had very comfy beds, kitchen was so nice and big. Living room area was very nice also. We made lots of great memories. Its a very nice home. I wish it was a little warmer out cuz we would have totally enjoyed the outside and the lake. I will be coming back again. You wont be disappointed.

Very nice lake property.
This is a very nice lake home, and the host is awesome! We were called to the area for a family funeral, not the greatest circumstances. While there, the host did everything in her power to make the stay pleasant. We are extremely grateful, it made the whole experience much easier! There were a couple of small issues, but the host/owner were quick to handle things. Great people to work with. Hopefully we'll be able to return under better family conditions.

Accurate and clean
The listing was accurate. The home was clean. The host was easy to communicate with. It was a very quite neighborhood. Even over the holiday weekend!! It's a good size for a multi-generational family. The kitchen was stocked better than other rental kitchens. My only complaint is the lack of "swimmability" in the lake. The bottom is very soft, and there are a lot of lily pads near the shore. We didn't feel comfortable swimming in that area, due to the amount of possible snakes that could be living among them. The only way out to the lake is through the lily pads, so unless you're on a boat, you can't access swimmable water. I know that there's not much to be done about this issue. I did speak with a neighbor that mentioned that this end of the lake gets the most lily pads each year and this year was worse than most. Maybe it's been better in past years and will be again in the future? So if you're looking for ease of swimming access, this one is not a good option. But if they can fix it, the remainder of the lake is pretty clean and nice to kayak on.

The house was great, plenty of room. The kids had a great time with the air hockey/pool table. Was a little disappointed with the lake, thought there was more sand for the kids to dig in. You couldn't walk right into the water to play, bottom was too soft and weedy. Fort Custer recreation area and Ramona Park were nice but we were looking for a property where we could walk right down to the water and play.

Spacious house with a lovely view
We really enjoyed the deck, which has shade much of the day, and a lovely view of the lake and sky. There is lots to do, from the game room to the hot tub, plus the kayaks and the paddle boat. We entertained friends and family and there was room for everyone to enjoy the great weather and a large kitchen for making meals.

Kids had fun
Weather was cold and rainy, but the kids found plenty to do. Game table got used a lot, as well as hot tub, fishing off the dock, and the firepit. Very spacious house. Only concerns were some of the tiles in the kitchen/dining area protruded and toes were stubbed. Safety rail at top of the stairs was wobbly, which is a safety concern. We had a wonderful, relaxing time. Price was reasonable.

Great experience
We really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the lakehouse. The hot tub was a huge hit with my husband and kids. I really like the lazy style of the lake to paddle about on the kayak or my raft and quietness of the community. There were so many things to do in the area, including Ramona Park which was a great experience for relaxing in . If have kids, definitely check out the Air Park which offers a rope course, bowling, video games, climbing wall and more - my kids kept wanting to go back to it! We would recommend this house and location!
