The hosts did a fantastic job of updating this charming, old lake home. The house is in great shape, and it has many nice amenities and a lot of charm, including 2 refrigerators, plenty of seating and beds, and adequate bathrooms. The outdoor space is nice, and has a lovely fire pit, both gas and charcoal grills, and lots of room for kids and pets to roam. There are nice hiking trails and it is very close to Land O Lakes if you need to run into town for groceries. The hosts themselves were very friendly and responsive and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I would definitely rent from them again.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but we do want to point out something we did not know about this property until we arrived:
There is another rental property run by the same hosts that is only about 100 yards away. It actually sits on the lake that is described as "private" in this listing. To use the docks and beach on the lake, you have to walk through their backyard, where their lawn chairs and firepit are located, which is fairly awkward.
In addition, the docks, small beach, as well as all of the boats, life vests, and paddles are shared with the other rental property. Fortunately the other renters were very kind about sharing everything with our group during our stay, but it certainly was not what we expected when we rented this house, as the listing made it seem like it was a private lake. Just know that you may be sharing the property with another group.
