It was very dirty and the bedsheets weren’t washed, they had sand and they smelled very bad. The pool was freezing cold and non of my kids could go inside. The first night we had to stay up till two in the morning to wash the sheets because they were dirty, but then after we did that, the pillow was very bad and they smelled horrible. There were spiders all over the house.

It was myself, my wife, daughter, son, son in law and two grandchildren. The lake and woods are stunning. We kayaked the lakes for hours, swam in the pool, and had a campfire one night. We only left the property to shop for food. Quite a bit of wildlife and there birding was great.

My group of 12 (6 Adults, 6 Children) stayed at Sharon's house for one week in middle June 2024. Everyone had a great time. Check in was easy. The house was ready for us exactly when promised. The neighborhood is clean and quiet, and the land was well kept. The house has wifi that was strong throughout the house and on decks. The kids enjoyed the on site swimming pool, fishing in the lake, kayaking in the lake, and nightly campfires. There was also an abundance of wildlife to enjoy: Deer, turtles, fish, and a big gray cat that would sun on the deck in the mornings. There were a couple issues that arose over the week: a hornet's nest outside, a mechanical issue with the boats, and a stopped toilet, but Sharon sent professionals to solve these issues immediately. Overall, we would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a great family getaway. There is enough to do on site that you can realistically keep everyone busy without having to travel. Additionally, Kalahari indoor waterpark is only 15 minutes away if you are looking to get out for a day. Thanks Sharon!

Had a great time. The location was great — beautiful lake with wildlife and sandy beach. Overall, the trip was great, and all of the amenities that were listed were present. A few criticisms: It had a DIY vibe. Deck and play set were splintery and needed shoes at all times. The top row of the retaining wall was disconnected and a fall hazard. Indoor stairs had transition pieces between the rise and run that sagged with every step. Slats missing in the pool fence that our kids quickly found and exploited. The indoor areas were very clean, but the outdoor areas were not. Decks were full of debris and bees; boats were very dirty. Row boat is not water tight, which was a surprise. The hot tub was so overly chlorinated that we didn't even try to get in. It burned our eyes just standing next to it with the cover on. This is clearly because the instructions provided insisted that users pour chlorine in it after every use. The other piece worth noting is that the rules were very intense. Some were just not their business (e.g., no being in the hot tub for more than 15 minutes, "no yelling sounds at any time"). Some were just common sense (e.g., no pouring gasoline down the toilets). Given the state of the property, the intensity of rules was unwarranted. The owner seems like a nice person, and I think is just trying to take care of everyone. The place was still great and we really did have a wonderful time despite the shortcomings, but I wish the price were a bit lower.

Great place. It was nice staying somewhere were they had kayaks, paddle boats and row boats connected to a beautiful lake. Very clean home and up to date.

We enjoyed a mini-reunion in this spacious well-equipped house with its many sleeping options. The kids loved having the pool, play equipment, and lake activities so accessible. The owner was very responsive and pleasant. The older home had modernized kitchen and bathrooms, but is in need of additional sprucing up, particularly the deck surface. Nevertheless we had a wonderful time in this lovely spot!

We all loved the beach, kayaks and lake. The house was clean, well furnished and stocked with everything you need. Sharon was a good hostess answering

The property is exactly as advertised. The outdoor amenities are wonderful (kayaks, boats, lake, pool, sand beach, play area for children, and hot tub). Sharon is extremely responsive and always available to help out. The beds were very comfortable, which is not always the case with vacation rentals. We also got perfect weather and just before mosquito season. My family had an amazing time!
