Inside, the spacious home includes three bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms.

Summary: This property is one of the best we have ever stayed in!! The host, Mindy, was so easy to deal with and really stepped up to make this a fantastic stay for our family. This home had everything we needed and then some! We loved the ability to use all of the water toys provided and we were blown away with the decked out garage where we enjoyed our nights together. Sylvan lake is a hidden little gem! Mindy also recommended we rent a pontoon boat for the day to check out the whole lake. We are definitely making our way back to this property!
