the house was beautiful and very clean. nice size bedrooms the kids loved the bunk beds. The lake and pool were wonderful! Was nice that they lake came with the canoes and paddleboards. So much space to hang out on the main floor as well as in the basement. The kids and the adults loved the basement with all the different activities. Jarrett was also very responsive and easy to communicate with. The property did have a lot of stairs to get from the house to the pool to the lake which was a little difficult but overall definitely recommend this house and would love to come back!

We loved our stay here! Jarrett was super responsive to any issue or question we had. The area is quiet but not in the middle of nowhere (easily Instacart-ed groceries when needed). The beds were comfy, the shower pressure was great, everything was clean and there was plenty of space for our group of 10 to eat, chill, be all together or have some time alone. The pool is in the middle of getting a new heater installed, but gets great sun. We took a boat out, sunbathed on the deck and even caught a fish! When the weather wasn’t great we watched movies, played darts, air hockey and pool. We can’t wait to come back!
