Great location
Overall, it was a wonderful stay. The boathouse was very nice with a covering for those who don’t want sun and also no covering for fishing. The fire pit area was very nice and we enjoyed doing s’mores. The upper deck area was very nice as pictured with beautiful views of the lake. My complaints were that the yard could’ve been better kept. Needs quite a bit of updating. For example, door wall to main deck was quite a struggle to open. The walk to the dock was quite treacherous with broken cement. Front screen door locked if you shut it all the way. Wish they had a full size barbecue. Only supplied with a small one that required charcoal. Needed quite a bit of cleaning. The fan in the master only stayed on the highest volume and we could not figure how to turn it down. Freezing at night. The dock did not have a ladder, which I believe the picture showed there was one.

Happy Vacationers
We enjoyed a 10-night stay at this home that offered plenty of space for 8. Nice common areas, open porch, and peaceful setting on a cove just off the open water. We were out swimming and kayaking every day with good weather, thanks to the easy water access. This was an unexplored part of the state from us...it's a bit out of the way but we appreciated the scenic drives and lack of traffic.

Quiet location on the lake
The home was large enough for our group & adequately furnished. We spent a large amount of time on the dock & enjoying the water & the neighborhood was very quiet. The house is in need of some maintenance, particularly on the exterior, but it was roomy enough for our needs. Enjoyed our stay!

Nice lake house
A good place to stay along the lake and suited my family's needs. There were a couple of things that we did notice that needed fixing though but didn't affect our stay such as the half bathroom wasn't able to lock just like the bedroom and bathroom downstairs. They should be fixed prior to any other guest stays for the needed privacy.

My family and I stayed here for Thanksgiving this year and had a wonderful time. The property is spacious yet comfortable and cozy. The games and den were terrific bonuses for the kids. Both the neighborhood and lake were beautiful and quiet. The owners are kind and hospitable. We have no complaints or critiques. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

We had a great time at this home. Branda was very responsive and the house was wonderful for our group of 8. It rained one of the days we were there, and we really enjoyed the downstairs area and being able to gather together and watch movies.

Excellent Property
We had a great time at this location. It was perfect for 12 of us staying with 4 adults, 6 teenagers, and 2 others, ages 10 and 7. The boat dock was greatly appreciated as we brought our boat with us. The kids were able to paddle board and use the swim mat provided by our hosts. Communication was excellent, check out super simple and no problems during our stay. Would definitely rent again!

40th birthday celebration
We had an amazing time at Camp Carola! We spent a few days there for my husband’s 40th birthday. We did one adult only day, one day with all the kids and then our last day was just with our family of 4. The house was the perfect location and had a great setup for everyone to hang out and relax. We did some kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and swimming. The downstairs area was the perfect spot! The kids loved the bunk areas for them to sit and sleep. I enjoyed my quiet morning coffee on the deck and we love that the swim area was shaded most of the morning. With all the kids this was perfect especially since it was the hottest days of the year while we were there. We hope to make this a yearly trip! The hosts were awesome at communicating and answered all of my questions before we arrived. I definitely recommend staying!

Ideal for big family gathering
This well-loved home was a great spot for our three families to come together. The teens had their own space to hang out, and there was plenty of outdoor seating. The lake inlet was a little murky for swimming, but great for small watercraft. Hosts were responsive to issues that arose.

Bigger grill
I came with my husband and 2 kids, sister and her 4 kids and my father and girlfriend. There was plenty of space for everyone and we had a great time relaxing on our vacation. Something we found really lacking was the grill. It was very small especially compared to amount of people the place accommodates. Overall great place to stay, would love to come back with a group of friends

Cozy Quiet Spot on the Lake
We had a great week spending quality time with family. We had plenty of laughs, lots of good food, and much needed relaxation by the lake. We fished, played in the water and just enjoyed each other's company. It was a great spot and the house had everything we needed for our home away from home for the week.
