Great place for sibling reunion

6 seniors found this place to be perfect for 4 days of sharing old memories and making new ones. All of the rooms are spacious, doorways wide enough for wheelchair, kitchen more than adequately equipped for food prep, and neighborhood quiet for sleeping. Loved the gorgeous sunsets too

Not very happy

There were a lot of issues with the property. The house wasn’t clean, the linen was washed in one of the rooms. Hair was in the shower and the house had a smell.

Beautiful house!

We had a wonderful time there. Very comfortable and clean. Had everything we needed for daily use. So peaceful in the mornings. The piano could use tuning, but my daughter enjoyed playing anyway. We used the kayaks and fished in the dock. Didn’t get a single bite. We had to leave early because of the hurricane but plan on going back.

Gorgeous Lake View

Lake Talquin is a favorite when visiting Tally. It’s out of the way, quiet and you can’t go wrong with a lake house. Huge house with open living area and bedrooms We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen and the dock. Melanie was so very helpful. If I could give 6 stars in that category I would.

Beautiful Home on the water

We took our grandkids for a three night stay, four adults and five kids. This place was perfect - very spacious, clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We caught lots of fish right off the dock. The home was just as pictured. There is just so much space to hang and enjoy - we didn’t even get to use them all. This is by far one of the best VRBO rental we have ever used.

Lovely Lake House

This is such a cute home with lots of character and being able to step out the back door and be right on the lake was so nice. It had all the amenities we needed and there is a convenience/bait store close by as well if you need to pick up anything. We spent most of our days fishing or exploring some of the state parks that are close by. Had such a lovely time that we are already talking about coming back for another trip.

Great space and views

Our family of six adults really enjoyed all the space we had to spread out. The kitchen is large and the dining area is Lars also. The kitchen could use a little updating and I gave the host a couple of suggestions for things that might need to be fixed….. overall we would definitely return.
