My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend with our 2 dogs and another couple. The house was a great setup for our group, inside and outside. The lake access was perfect - we fished, kayaked, and swam in the lake off the dock. The house was well stocked - kitchen and grill supplies, games, lanterns, toiletries, firewood, ice maker, extra drink fridge, dog water bowls. I tend to overpack and hardly used anything I brought. There is a Dollar General less than 10 minutes away, a Valero 15 minutes away that sells minnows/bait, and the best donut store next door to Valero. One tip - we zip tied the gates on the fenced backyard. Our dogs were able to push the gate open. They were also able to slip around the end of the fence at the water to visit the neighbors. It is very secure, just keep an eye out for your animals as a responsible owner. The neighborhood and lake were quiet for a Memorial Day weekend. It was a perfect, relaxing time; exactly what we needed! We will visit again and bring our boat next time!
