Lake House

The stay was ok; we thought it could have been cleaner. All of the reviews said it was very clean; I felt that was misleading. We enjoyed the deck, and the AC worked great. Kitchen was well stocked/supplied. Thank you for having us.

My son's 22nd bday

Every year my son and his friends try to find a lake place for a few days to go fishing, swimming, boating etc. I cook up a storm and we just enjoy the time together. This year was the best one because the lake was so clean and not weedy at all. We had a decent fishing boat and rented jetskis! Super fun! Also the biking was perfect. Biking trails everywhere!

Great Place to Relax

Our entire family enjoyed the variety of activities in and on your property as well as in the area. The young children loved the panfish fishing from the boat and also from the dock. Others liked the paddleboards. A great house for a family. Very quiet location! Great yard space.

June on Lake Darling

We were three generations of family with a long history growing up on and visiting the chain. We really enjoyed this Darling house. It was very comfortable, supplied everything we could need and the lake access was great. The water toys were used alot and we have several new water skiiers in the clan now.

Family lake house in great location!

We stayed for a few nights with family & friends (8 of us) This is a clean, comfortable home that is a little older, but the owners have been doing some nice renovations. Other pros: 2 refrigerators, comfy beds, lots of towels, nice neighbors. The yard is big & well kept and there is a beautiful lake view. We had a great time using their paddle boards & kayaks. This home is close to stores, restaurants, & downtown. Melissa provided great communication and was very responsive to any of our questions.

Great location. Nice Lake Home

The place was clean, well furnished, great location. The dock and lake were great. The kitchen needs new appliances and the gas grill caught on fire from not being cleaned properly. The host was easy to work with. I rent in the area every year and in other locations across the country. If not for the appliances and grill I would have rated it all 5's. The rental did not come with fire wood which is a first time for us renting and having to buy it it. All other lake and beach homes we have rented wood was supplied. I would definitely rent this property again!

Family get together

Accommodation was fine. Didn't use any water toys, too windy all week. 2 comments When arrived, 6 bags of garbage were sitting by the garage and 2 filled up garbage cans. Lucky for us the next day we were able to get a garage hauler driving by to take it all. The bags were open from rodents and garbage strwen around. Not happy about it, but we lived. When we left we had excess garbage bags which we placed on top of the filled garbage containers. Need more large garbage containers. Would not have been a good scene if the guy hadn't picked it up for us. Second, the owners left some of their refrigerator items in both refrigerators. Didn't like sharing the space. All else was fine.
