We enjoyed the area and the house, which was enough room for the 9 of us and our dogs. The house was well stocked/equipped and Bowen was fantastic with communications. The biggest issue was that the lakefront was not really swimmable, very weedy, but even if you could get on a floatie there is not stairs or anything on the small dock. It was great to kayak and use paddle boards but swimming was a no go. The other issue was that it is literally next door to a busy marina. If you are looking for private you aren't going to get it. However, the area is really great, and the house was great, not to mention the lot was large, which was nice for the dogs to run. We enjoyed the area and visiting the locks and local towns.
