Hated to Leave
An awesome place for our annual family summer vacation. We were a group of 8, 4 adults, 4 kids (ages 10-6) + 2 dogs. Beautiful well-equipped home with lots to look at and gorgeous lake. Kids had a blast fishing, swimming, playing games, eating s’mores around the fire pit. House was very clean with plenty of a/c and fans. Nearby Cross Lake has a big grocery store with enough of the vegetarian and gluten free options we needed. We hope we can come again!

Great place for family stay
We enjoyed the house and the lake very much. It was quiet and peaceful. The house had lots of space inside and outside for the family. The only issue I had was with dog allergies in the house.

Velvet Springs
We had a wonderful weekend with extended family. The property was beautiful and just as described in the listing. Having the pontoon and paddle boats made it even better. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your wonderfully eclectic home!
