Summary: This was a great waterfront rental, had everything you needed and extra to enjoy the water. There were kayaks available to use, along with extra docks for fishing or renting a boat. The place had a laid back, real lake life vibe. The pool table and dart board was a fun plus to have. The beds were comfortable and it was great to be able to travel with our furry family member. We had a great time just fishing off the docks, caught a good amount of sunfish and blue gill. Communication with the host was also great, he got back to me right away when we had any questions on where to find things. We would love to go back, would definitely stay again.
