There is a concrete walk down to the dock which has a power outlet for boat charges or other equipment and a fish cleaning station (the dock does not have lights). There are chairs on the dock.

Weekend getaway
This was perfect for a weekend getaway with the family. My only complaint was the dock/pier needs some bracing it’s extremely wobbly. But definitely didn’t stop our crew from jumping in the lake!

great stay
great house. We had an item taken from the dock - left to get a sandwich for just a short time and came back with tackle box stolen. We spoke with neighbor and the neighbor told us of the history of items being taken. Made us VERY cautious the rest of the stay. So SAD there are thieves in the area .

Lovely home
We enjoyed our week end at the lake very much, The house was lovely, well kept, nicely furnished and the owner was very easy to deal with. As mentioned in previous comments, the hill to the lake is very steep, I had to steady myself at one point going back up. . Also, the loft is a loft, the girls enjoyed going up there to get away from the adults during the day, but as a sleeping area, it is less than ideal. But overall, our first experience at a lake house was very positive and we look forward to many more trips.

Great location and beautiful view.
This house is in a great location with a beautiful view. House is very open and clean. Back porch is great to sit on and drink your morning coffee. Kitchen is great sized as well. Only downside to the property is the hill that leads you to and from the lake. It is very steep and would be very hard for older people to walk back and forth from the lake. Dock is great, kinda small but it fit us 6 just fine.

Best place to have your morning coffee.
Very nice home with an amazing place to sit and watch sunrise/sunset. Big enough for the whole family plus friends. Great place to travel with a boat or motorcycle. We go to the area for Terrapin Creek so if you have kayaks take them. We didn’t need it but they have a small area in the side to park a trailer. As always nothing is perfect and while it didn’t bother us I should mention the walk from the house to the dock is kinda steep so if you have trouble navigating terrain maybe consider the view from the porch.

The house is amazing. Feels brand new, very clean and beautiful! The walk to the dock is a bit tough, especially for the grandparents. The kids made the trek multiple times daily and the rest of us were strategic in our trips. Lake was perfect for swimming and fishing. We would stay here again!
