Great. Like to have some area rugs in the kitchen and by doors. Also, Mosquitos are so bad, hope a spray or more outside traps if we stay again! All in all pretty good place! Price range is too high in my opinion with all fees and insurance we are forced to purchase and would be reason we might not stay again.

Beautiful lake home

We had the best stay at this wonderful home! Spacious home with plenty of room for 6 of us to spread out. The back deck is so peaceful with lake views. The host is great, communication is perfect and entry could not have been easier. Lots of amenities as well. Don’t hesitate to stay here!

Cousin bonding at the lake

A GREAT time was had at the house by the lake ❣️. We had a cousins gathering with 4 couples & enjoyed our spray. Would like it noted that bed in basement is on the floor & extremely difficult for seniors to enter & exit. Loved the time at the lake & guys would have enjoyed better fishing. Alot of cards & laughs

Everything about the home was welcoming and perfect for our weekend! We needed a larger drive way...but that happens when your group is gathering from multiple states. The property owner was very responsive to messages.

Thanksgiving holiday

Not as isolated as I thought it would be - socked in between two other homes - did have public lake access to the back of the property - but this is not a private, beachfront property. Had to walk through the yard to get to front porch (which meant trudging through the snow in November) -- they could use a better sidewalk. No garage access and mud had accumulated in front of garage door. Blinding sunlight coming through uncoverable windows in kitchen that face due west. Had to listen to power mowers most of the first day and part of the third day (mowing stopped on Thanksgiving day, thank goodness). Property manager did respond to complaints/issues but could offer no practical solutions - other than "thanks for the suggestion!".

Multi generational family stay for a local wedding

Home is comfortable and in a beautiful setting. The property is well represented by listing photos. Older home has been updated in many ways. Overall a good spot for our group of seven to spend a few nights.

Great place to stay

We stayed at the Rock Creek house during our kids' fall break. Coming from Texas, we enjoyed the cool weather, the dark skies, and the quiet. It's so so quiet. And our kids enjoyed the wifi, not always a given at properties near this location. It's a great location. A HUGE yard for the kids to explore, with the lake just a few steps away. And far enough away to feel a little isolated, but only a 10-15 minute drive to grocery stores and restaurants. Would definitely stay again!

Great place for our family get away

Beautiful & quiet area. Large back yard with great view of the lake. The house worked out well for our family in spite of having four levels. Having younger children, the many levels could be difficult to maneuver & was not mentioned in the description. There is a large deck where we ate all of our meals. Overall, the house & area were great!
