Our family was able to enjoy our stay - there was a lot to do for the kids and adults as well. The place was large to accommodate our family as advertised. The communication with Michael and Ashleigh was prompt and to the point. We enjoyed the beach area, the fire pit, the grill, the play areas. All good! Excellent time was had by all in the group.

Awesome Place
We were so grateful to have found this place. The grandkids loved the open space and how close it was to the beach and playground. The house offered an open space so we were all together although doing separate things. The fire pit was a hit with the grandchildren who made and ate s'mores. Thank you again for opening your home to us.

Great home with fantastic amenities
We had a fantastic stay at this home. It is particularly great for groups with small children. The house was clean with plenty of space for all 18 of us. The convenient location right next to the beach on the lake, with access to the Kayaks, was awesome. The owers are very fast to respond with any questions or concerns. Overall, our group had a lot of fun and we stay again at this property.

Great golf outing
The house was perfect for us. We had 11 golfers mostly over 55 and having nice comfortable beds are huge. Would love to rent again next year. The only issue is more of the golfers want to stay at house next year. Hopefully we can find a second house in brier crest.

Me encantó, realmente la recomiendo fui con mi familia a celebrar los 9 años de mi hija con sus mejores amigas. Ella quería una pijamada con sus mejores amigas y realmente si el lugar perfecto. Me encantó que cuando llegamos el hot tub estaba listo y calientito, y cualquier pregunta que tuve me respondieron inmediatamente. El host fue muy amable cuando le solicité salír una hora después y aceptó. Es un lugar perfecto para compartir en familia tiene muchas actividades para hacer en familia.

Decent property but...
There were issues with the water that prevented more than one person showering at a time or even one person showering if someone was washing dishes or using the dishwasher. The owners were contacted and a plumber was sent out but the issue continued. The owners then submitted a property damage claim for water line repair under my name since we purchased the additional insurance. I don't believe this was fair and would have preferred not to have my name associated with any claim for property damage that we did not cause. Otherwise the house was decent enough with plenty of room.

Family Holiday Vacation
My family enjoyed this home over the Christmas holiday. The property was spacious with plenty of options to gather or find space alone. The hot tub, fire pit, and game room were a hit for both adults and children. The kitchen and dining room were large enough to prepare our holiday buffet and seat everyone comfortably. The Christmas tree was a nice touch. We are looking forward to returning in the summer to enjoy the lake and park.

Good Stay, A Few Issues with the House, But Very Responsive Host
Overall we had a great stay. The pictures accurately portray the house and how close it is to the lake. Our initial issue was that there was no propane provided. The host was quick to respond and let us know this was for insurance purposes, but it would've been nice to know we needed to provide it ourselves especially when most stores were closed. Our big issue was with water. If one shower was being used the other shower would stop working and so would the kitchen sink. The problem would resolve if the showers were stopped but this could definitely present an issue for large groups/families.
