The views from the house are beautiful. I was in the area for work, and in the mornings, I'd sit outside at the table on the upper deck. In the evenings, I'd lay on the hammock. I'm not a cook, but if you are, his kitchen is perfect. I didn't take advantage of going into the lake, but when I worked from the house, I could hear people having fun. There are a lot of stairs to get to the house, so be aware. The washer and dryer have multiple settings if you're in a rush. Blackout blinds in the master bedroom. The dogs are friendly and behaved. I enjoyed my time here and was sad that somebody else booked it. Otherwise, I would have extended my stay.
