The Fun House

We had such a great time, we nicknamed this property “The Fun House!” The location is fantastic, the lake is beautiful, and the accommodations are top notch. If you enjoy just hanging out by the water and relaxing, this is the place. If you enjoy water sports and activity, this is the place. Something for everyone, for sure!

Pet Friendly & Clean Location

This was a cute, clean place that was comfortable for two couples, kids and dogs. The upstairs bath is a very small half bath and the downstairs bathroom is clean and comfortable but there is no bathtub, so it may be inconvenient if you have very small children. The homeowner has thought of everything to make sure you have all conveniences of home!

Clean & cozy getaway

Solid stay on so many levels: owner was friendly, helpful and responsive, place was so cute - awesome attention to details that made it feel so nice & cozy, my friends and I loved it! From the design details to having just about everything we wanted or needed. Beds were comfortable. Easily cooked and had pretty much what we needed. Shed full of fun stuff like paddles, bikes. Lake was beautiful and peaceful, highly recommend!

The Lake House was very clean, stocked, and well maintained. Everything you can possibly need is available from towels, first aid kit, laundry soaps, kitchen appliances, basic kitchen supplies, and some inputs about the local areas that you can get food from, explore and enjoy. We didn’t get to use any water toys because we have other plans but there’s a lot of board games, coloring materials, and paddle boat available for us to use. The Wi-Fi and cable connections were good, and the house is equipped with Alexa speaker, wireless chargers, multiple ceiling fans around, humidifiers, AC and heaters. There’s also an automatic awning for the front porch of the house. One thing I did not like was the bathroom situation. You have 3 bedrooms in the house, 2 were located upstairs with toilet, 1 bedroom downstairs and 1 full bathroom with a tiny shower. The shower is too small and it’s very hard to take a shower. Also, the water smells funky and you need to let it run for a little while to get rid of the funky smell. Our overall experience at the lake house was very good and we’re very happy with our stay. We’ll be back!
