Property Description

Perfect lake house, for our family with 3 teens. House was great and lots of communication from owner via email and binder. We did all the lake stuff.. paddleboard, kayak, swim, fish and it was perfect. My favorite was floating in the water and reading on the dock. According to the notes and reviews, upstairs loft and small bedroom were quite warm but it was also August and very hot outside. Otherwise a comfortable retreat. We only drove through town but it looked very quaint and inviting, I'd love to come back and explore more!

The location of this property is excellent. The property has potential as it needs some work. The bathroom door downstairs stuck and could not be opened all the way. There was laundry in the washer and dryer when we arrived. The codes on the door are difficult to read and there is no light by the back door. The upstairs shower has no pressure at all and “dribbled “ out. The rule book is extreme. The gazebo had a tear in the panel and was repaired with tape that just didn’t work. Wish there was a fire pit or propane fire table. The pier and the sunset were as described. Just beautiful.
This house is great for 4 adults.

The house is on an amazing lake, really clear, great fishing and large but not too noisy. Amenities like the kayaks and board games were nice additions and the beds were pretty comfortable. We had some trouble upon arrival but the host did his best to make everything right which was appreciated and checked in each day after.Just a couple notes to consider when booking: the layout of the bedrooms is not ideal for two (or more) children under 4. It is also an older home so it has some wear in some places and it gets warm upstairs in the summer.Overall, if you are looking for a nice place to enjoy some lake time, I definitely recommend.

Getaway
The property definitely needs some help, considering what is charged per night. The upstairs was so hot, it was unbearable. The AC did not help, so a window unit AC might be considered. The upstairs shower may not even exist, because virtually no water comes out of the shower head. The Gazebo was filthy; the pier was very rickety and in need of repair. All in all, the pictures don't match reality.

Not prepared
There was laundry in the washer and dryer.The toaster had no handles,had to use a spoon to push it down to make toast.The patio door was taped shut so you could not open it because there were no screens on the door.The grill was filthy and there was no brush to clean it.We had to run every fan available in the house because the 2nd floor was so hot,even with the air on.We actually left 2 days early.The showers are both very small.It states you can swim in the lake but it was full of algae so we paid to go to the local beach.The couch was uncomfortable and instead of the twin beds it states it has we had to use the couch to sleep all 8 of us,as there were only 3 beds.1 King size and 2 full.The rule book read be a respectful guest and clean the grill if you use it,and obviously it was not cleaned before we arrived.The only positive thing was the view.And we actually saw an eagle trying to catch fish.It took us at least 4-5 tries to unlock the door because 1/2 of the #s are worn off.Now mind you he gave me 5

Wonderful week on the water
The Island is a great place to stay. It’s right on the water, and we enjoyed long days relaxing, swimming and being out on the water on the stand-up paddle boards and in the kayaks. We had a wonderful night a night of fishing right off the dock when the lake was calm and our boys caught some fish. The sunsets were gorgeous. The kitchen is well stocked and beds are comfortable. The loft room is quite warm as the a/c or fans don’t cool it down so our boys slept together in the second bedroom to stay cool. We enjoyed many family activities (Little Amerricka, Madison farmers market, Jefferson Speedway) and dinners at a couple super clubs in the area all 20-30 mins away. It was a great week of relaxing away and our boys loved the place.

Place was beautiful. Wished there were screens on the patio so we could hear the water and wildlife. Fire pit would have been nice. outside doors need work. But overall nice time.

Family Gatherings
I have wonderful memories of my visit with family, some of whom live nearby ! The location on the lake was perfect, as were the neighbors! I was able to share the accommodation some nights with sisters and we were quite comfortable with the kitchen and bedrooms ! I already miss the view to the lake and the gorgeous sunsets. The seating areas inside, in the gazebo and on the pier, were perfect for chatting and relaxing. Jason was an excellent host and left me with a feeling of warm hospitality!!

Beautiful property
We had a great stay. The house was cozy for 6 of us. One issue was parking. We weren’t aware that we could only have 3 cars. This may have been in the listing but could be made more clear.
