The house was great. The whole family enjoyed our stay. My niece told me that we had to rent this house every year for our family get together. The house was exactly as presented on VRBO.
This is a wonderful property. Our family rents a beach or lake house every summer, and this one was easily my fave! Very well-stocked, lots of thoughtful details, and beautifully decorated. The kids had a blast with the lily pad, the inflatable water slide, and all the activities in the air-conditioned garage. The adults loved the hot tub and sitting on the porch in the evenings. The family members who stayed in the guest house were very comfortable but noted there really wasnât a place to hang towels, so maybe bring some over-the-door hooks. All in all, a wonderful week was had by all and we would highly recommend this property!
We had a wonderful stay at this Mabank property! The home is beautifully furnished, clean, and very comfortable â it felt like a true getaway. One of our favorite features was the incredible game room. Itâs a converted garage with excellent air conditioning and so many options for fun: ping pong, cornhole, ladder toss, and darts. It kept everyone entertained for hours.The separate guest house was perfect for the kids â they loved having their own space to hang out and relax, which gave the adults some breathing room too. The house sits on a peaceful, quiet cove that felt private and serene. While the lake water near the cove had quite a bit of debris during our stay (not the ownerâs fault), the setting itself was still lovely.Just a heads-up for boaters: the closest public ramp is a bit of a drive, both by car and by water. There is a private neighborhood ramp, but the property manager didnât have the gate code during our stay. Not a dealbreaker by any means, just something to plan around if youâre bringing a boat.Overall, this was a fantastic rental â perfect for families or groups looking to relax and have fun. Weâd absolutely come back!
For a family with a variety of ages this house was great. It was too cold, and the lake was too low, for swimming or boating. We had plenty of room to spread out, cooked plenty in the well stocked kitchen, relaxed, read a lot and played lots of games. The darts, ping pong and shuffleboard were popular. I would stay again.
House was nice, air conditioning working amazingly! Climate controlled garage made for a nice game room. Property manager Kate was helpful and attentive.
So many beds and things to do. Tons of things like: jet ski, pontoon, water slide, games, ping pong, shuffle board, darts.
However, lots of things were broken; hinges on cabinets, drawers, starters on grill, chairs on patios, dishwasher was poorly put into space and leaked. We also had started by asking about a dock for our boat. However, on arrival they still had their pontoon docked. We had to wait several hours for them to move it.
Overall a good stay, not sure if we would come back though.
We had lots fun. Boating, playing games and of course eating too much. Everyone like the accommodations.
Thanks for letting us use your property.

We had an absolute wonderful time! This property was perfect for our large family!! So much space and the hosts thought of everything! We love the option of renting a boat at the property! Kate and Mina were amazing helping us with all things. The water slide blow up is such an awesome idea and addition for younger children! We absolutely enjoyed all things about our stay!
Great house with plenty of space for a large party. Hosts were very responsive and forthcoming with information before we checked in.
Backyard is great for hanging out and we even caught a couple nice catfish off the dock.
This home was perfect for our family gathering of 7 adults, 4 kids, and a dog. There was plenty of space and plenty of activities. The game room is fantastic and the kids loved the blow up water slide! We would definitely stay here again!
Had a great time. Itâs a lovely location (despite the drive in past a few unsightly properties). Wish we had had more time to enjoy the lake and fire pit. Like other reviews mentioned- WiFi isnât great so prepare to unplug or download any movies or shows you plan to catch up on.
Property managers were very responsive to questions and issues. There were a few maintenance issues needing attention. Our cousins' retreat attendees (ages 86-65) had a great time together. Location is very convenient to restaurants, etc. I recommended that luggage racks be put in each bedroom. It was an accessibility challenge with luggage on the floor.
We had a wonderful Labor Day lake trip! The house was very clean with a well stocked kitchen! The beds were comfy but we had to buy extra blankets because the house was so cold! The main bedroom in the cottage does not have an AC so we stuck a fan in there. The yard is beautiful and there are tons of yard games and an inflatable water slide that our kids enjoyed! The house uses an app based system for checkin/out instructions which is a cool idea but a book would have worked better for our group. The major cons for our visit were the lake level and the Wi-Fi. The dock is completely dry and the water in the cove is stagnant and unsafe. While the lake level canât be controlled we wish weâd had a heads up to know that there was no way to play in the water by the house and the closest usable ramp is a good 20 min drive.
We had a great time staying at this property! There were 20 adults (25+) gathered to celebrate a birthday on the lake. The house was absolutely perfect and accommodated all of us very well. The air conditioned garage space is the true hidden gem of this house! It was the perfect spot for everyone to get together and play games. The house gets COLD! It was amazing during these 100+ degree days. We used the kitchen to the max and grilled out all without any issues. The wifi/service is not great, but usable.
A beautiful, very clean property with a shady, fenced backyard and additional small guesthouse. The kids loved the backyard toys and the lily pad which we took out on the lake. There is a nice kitchen for those who like to cook and the beds were very comfortable which is a big plus for me. Very enjoyable.
