Excellent stay!
Really enjoyed our stay at this lakefront property. The property is beautiful as advertised! What struck us were all the little details that JD provided, such as a lovely coffee bar set up in the kitchen, a fully equipped kitchen, an abundance of towels in all bathrooms, extra blankets and pillows in each bedroom, paper products and cleaning products. Plenty of pillowed seating on the large back porch for all of us to enjoy the stunning lake view. JD responded to all our questions in a timely manner. Will definitely stay here again for our next family gathering!

Pre-Thanksgiving Get-away
This property is absolutely beautiful. I would stay again for sure. This house is surprising larger than the pictures indicate. The only thing about the property that wasn't a huge deal but because of my own standards is that it could have been cleaner. I know that property owners hire servicers to clean so this may have been avoided if the servicer would be detailed about the cleaning. Lots of dust bunnies on the things within the house, floors just need a real good cleaning, and the porch out back should have been blown off or at the very least broomed down the spider webs. It's the way we are about being in a clean environment and perhaps this won't bother anyone else. It wasn't super bad, it just needs a good deep cleaning. Very good location. Ambience was so relaxing!

Home away from Home
Best home around! This has been our second time of enjoyment at your home, and it will not be our last. I hope we can catch this place the same time every year. The atmosphere is peaceful, and it’s full of good memories. For our family, it’s a challenge to get my mom down at the water, and on any boat, with that being said, we so much appreciate the flat ground and easy access all the way around. We’ve been able to come together so easily, and truly enjoy this spacious area. We can’t wait to book again.

Great value, nice home, beautiful view
We were very happy with our stay at the lake house. The house is very unassuming when you first pull up into the driveway but inside it has plenty of room. We had the maximum guests and we were very comfortable. There are 4 bedrooms with a fifth set up as an office that can be utilized as a bed room with the addition of a air mattress which I believe is there in the closet. There was a nice open living room and dining room with high ceilings which make the space seem bigger. The kitchen was one of our favorite places in the house with everything you could need for cooking for a week. It was very modern and had plenty of counter space. Our favorite room however was the master suite the bedroom was nice sized and the master bath was enormous and beautiful. And finally the view was amazing the property was right on the lake with a large yard and a dock that we spent plenty of time during our stay fishing with the kids. Also there are 2 manmade beaches on the lake that are basically just around the corner and that we're not too busy and nice. John the host was very friendly and quick to respond to the few questions that we had during our stay. I would highly recommend this home for family vaction.

Perfect Lake House
We had a wonderful time at this house. The location is quiet and very relaxing. The house was just as described - plenty of towels and kitchen equipment to eat in a few nights. This is 20 minutes to everything in Macon.
The furniture was somewhat dated, but the beds were comfortable and the linens were clean and of quality standard. I would recommend staying here if you visit Macon.

Wonderful stay!!
We came to Macon to enjoy the Cherry Blossom Festival and had a wonderful time. The festival, parade and festivities were all fun and the cherry trees with their beautiful blossoms were amazing!! Our accommodations were lovely and as pictured and described. We didn't lack for anything. We enjoyed spending time on the back deck that overlooked the beautiful backyard with lake view. The owner was very quick to respond to any inquiry before our stay and was most accommodating!! Would definitely recommend and would stay again if back in the area. Many thanks for a wonderful time!

Home away from home ❤️
This place was comfortable, and home feeling. I was able to celebrate my anniversary with my husband, as a widow.. on the back porch. Watching the sunrise over the water, I was able to talk to him in prayer. This home was big enough, while still being cozy, for all of my immediate family and than some. My mom stayed with us here. She is 91, and I emphysema which limits both of us from getting around. I am 100% thankful we found this home as it was smooth enough for us to get around inside and out. Many lake houses are covered in steps, but this home had the least by far. Thankfully the ground was smooth enough for us to bring our electric scooters that got us from the boat dock and back. We did have an issue with ants, but my son is an exterminator and was able to do a couple sprays which helped a lot. The only issue I would suggest is a better detailed cleaning system.
