We came from Florida and Alabama to be in the line of totality for the 2024 eclipse. Based on the reviews/comments, I expected a cozy, well-loved home on the lake; we definitely found this to be true. The lake view through the windows is magnetic, and the inside and outside were clean and comfortable…home-y. The owners had made sure we understood how things worked and where things were, through handy notes and instructions. We had brought supplies we thought we’d need, but nothing was really necessary except ourselves and our personal effects. The kitchen is snug, but well-equipped if you prefer to cook (grocery stores are nearby); and there are local menus and recommendations if you don’t. We grew up in this area, and The Lake House really felt like home. Thank you, Mr Al and Ms Cathy.
