This is a beautiful, well cared for home. It's clear the owners put care and consideration for their guests and themselves. It was more comfortable and beautifully furnished than most rentals, with very comfortable beds, a stocked kitchen, lots of comfortable towels, and tons of games for the kids to stay entertained. It's great that it's well stocked as it's 15 minutes from any store to buy basics, so bring what you are sure you will need. The lake is the warmest that I've swum in in the region (we had many hot days, so it may not always be this way). It's gorgeous, fantastic for paddling. It has a very shallow sandy beach out to two docks, with more mucky areas around it. I heard some kids complaining loudly about muck, but it meant lotus flowers and paddling beauty.One thing to note is that the house is looking out over the water and has great access to the lake; it's also on the main drive to the beach that the neighborhood uses. During our time, it was busy, with people walking by and golf carts driving along the road all day and into the evening. There is little privacy except inside the house. The beach was busy (and sometimes loud) starting at noon and into the early evening. We avoided crowds by paddling in the afternoons, swimming in the morning and the evening. We enjoyed meeting some families with small kids, but otherwise preferred to be with our family in more private settings in the yard or the house. Still, the lake (and house) was worth it!
