Friend’s Wedding
The listing of the property was spot on. Location was perfect for the wedding we were attending. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with everything you could need. The only issue we had was with the well water and the showers. The smell in the showers was very strong

Clean accommodations with great view of lake
The house and location were great, no major complaints. Check in was a little confusing when I tried to enter a few minutes early. The lock is timed to not work until 4 on the dot. The hard water and sulfur smell was the only thing stopping a 5 star. Would recommend and hope they can work on the water. Area is prone to rust and sulfur smell, so expect some level of it.

The Bluff
House was nice and clean. Great location with nice views. Appreciate all of the amenities. Just wanted to let you know about a few things: There was no dishwasher so that part of the info did not apply to us. The screen door was off the track when we got there. The light in the bunk bed room was hanging out of the ceiling so we out that back in. A couple doors had squeaky hinges so we used some WD-40 on those. We enjoyed our stay!
