Family Home w/ Deck on Lake Sara: Pets are Welcome

StephanieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The inside of the home was beautiful. The pool and deck was amazing. Kitchen and bathrooms stocked well. We would definitely go back! The only negatives are the landscape is very neglected The dock needs work. Maybe a little more flexibility on checking in earlier than 3pm. Otherwise the home is beautiful and we would stay again!

AmandaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We were a last minute booking because the previous place we booked was not fit to stay at. We were stressed and the owners immediately put us at ease. They were responsive with our questions. The house was beautiful and clean and looked just like the pictures. This place saved our weekend. Highly recommend this place!!
