Family Get Together
The family had a wonderful time staying here. The rooms had very comfortable beds and the bathrooms were spacious enough for all. The boat house was a big hit with everyone … the kids played in the water for hours. While the rest of us fished….catching plenty of fish. The kitchen was well equipped with all you would need. Loved the ice maker. Just sorry we didn’t have time to enjoy the other things the house had to offer. Thanks for letting us use your lake house. Hope to rent again next year

Wonderful weekend!
We had a great time and enjoyed every minute of it! There was plenty of room for all of us and the property is amazing! The kids and adults had a blast in the lake and loved hanging out at the fire pit at night.

We love this place!
This was the fourth year that our family vacationed in this home in June. Perfect place for children who love to swim, fish, and boat. We also enjoyed a hike over at Morrow Mountain. One day the women of the family went to Troy to shop and eat in downtown Troy. Very enjoyable!

Perfect for our large family
This home is perfect for large groups. The interior layout had an open family/dining/kitchen with a deck facing the lake. There were ample bedrooms with beds for our family of 14. The owners supplied plenty of towels, as well as basic necessities. It was a wonderful week of vacation to end our summer.

Fun & Comfortable Lakefront Home
Our group of Virginia Tech alum had an amazing time reuniting and catching up at this gorgeous property! The sprawling yard was great for our bocce ball games. We loved the big boat house and sat around the upstairs table chatting every night. The foam mat in the water was a great touch! Finding a lake house with 6+ private bedrooms can be difficult, so we felt lucky to have come across this home that fit all of our couples comfortably. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Everything You Need!
This house has it all...plenty of room, comfortable beds, fabulous kitchen, great view of water. Our grandchildren were completely entertained on site. They swam (the floating mat is a big hit), fished, kayaked, rode bikes on safe neighborhood roads, and even explored the woods a bit. All of us voted unanimously to return next year!

Awesome place for quality family fun time.
Everything you need to enjoy the lake during the day, the floating mat/island a big hit with all; the evening skies during the night with screened in upstairs of the boat house & a nice fire pit area w/plenty of seating and lots of room inside for board game nights. Well stocked kitchen, bedrooms w/plenty of extra blankets & pillows and lots of little extras, cold sodas in the fridge, s'mores supplies on hand, hand soap at each sink, tissue boxes throughout were all very much appreciated & enjoyed! We all had a great time and plan to return again next year.

Beautiful Home on the Lake
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. There was an abundance of space for everyone. The children enjoyed playing in the game room and making s’mores by the fire pit. I can only imagine how much fun can be had in nicer weather. It rained most of the time we were there. We will definitely rent this lovely home again. Thanks so much for sharing your lake house with us.

Awesome home for large family
My family had a wonderful time staying here. the new kitchen was awesome, loved the new ice maker,gas stove and gas grill, and double stove. Each of the rooms had very comfortable beds and plenty of room for all the kids and grand kids to play down stairs. the lake and boat house were so fun we spent hours in the water playing and then we had a picnic upstairs in the screened in boat house. It was the best family vacation. thanks Debbie for opening your lakefront property to us. thanks for the sweet snacks and drinks that welcomed us. a 5 star experience

AJs 10th birthday!
This property was gorgeous out on the lake!! And completely accommodating! Main shopping is like 10 mins away! The kitchen is outstanding. The beds were comfy! Only thing that would of make this stay 100% was if we could of rented the boat, that was in the dock. All of the marinas are in off-season and don’t start around this time. All in all wonderful stay!!!!
